In my present predicament Iam thankful there still there poor little fellars.
On a serious note remember loosing a wheel off an 800kg camper trailer comming down Cunnighams Gap was doin nearly 60k at the time lucky it was the left hand one and went carreering over the side. Could have has serious consequences due to my stupidity. Had changed out wheel about 30k before forgot to tighten up after lowering camper to much of a rush. Lessons learned the hard way unfortunately. Missus still gives me a hard time when she catches me changing wheels. Have to cop it sweet .

Don't forget to check the screws on your roof rack.
Today at work I asked my mate when was the last time you check the screws on the roof rack, he said never so I checked them for him, all eight screws holding it to the gutter were finger loose, lucky I asked and checked.
So today is "CHECK YOUR ROOF RACK NUTS AND SCREWS DAY".
