With a bit more road you could have matched the speed of the car to the errant wheel and bunny-hopped the hub back onto the wheel.

send the clip to go-pro
they love clips like this
(shorten it first)
I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.

Someone I worked with was telling me about the new wheels he bought for his Vectra. They weren't the right fit so the garage had to fit spacers
(Probably irrelevant, but it was part of the story). He was driving around a couple of days later with his young son in the passenger seat when he
felt the steering wheel start to wobble a bit. It went away for a while but came back with a sudden judder. So he stopped and got out to look. One of
the wheels was barely held on with one very loose nut! Suffice to say, he was rather angry when he spoke to the garage about it.

I once tried to put a wheel from a saxo on my 106 - identical spec. but the alloy dust cap that acts as the spigot on the rears was just a bit too
tight a fit and wouldn't let the wheel sit correctly
luckly I realised there was a problem before I got onto the road, it felt horrible

maybe studs werent long enough with aftermarket wheels but ok with orginals?
had a similar problem on my dads kit car as a passenger, heard a clicking noise for a few miles that we couldnt pin point, then on dual carriage way
felt something small and reasonably heavy hit me in the chest, whihc then dropped onto the floor. finally found it and it was a wheel stud. old man
stopped quikcly and we discovered just two studs in the near side rear wheel.
stud must have gone airborn up and forwards and dropped back to earth just in time to hit me.

take it easy,
