[Healeys] Roadside failures

[Carlos Cruz]

Hi David,
   
  My worst one... Let's see, my left rear wheel flew off the car while doing 65 MPH on I-90 northwest of Chicago.  It broke the rear axle housing, spring mounts, ripped off the exhaust and cracked the exhaust manifold, plus a whole lot more.  
   
  I do know now what I wish I had at the time and highly recommend to anyone - - - 
   
  A clean pair of underwear!
   
  That's right, just toss a pair in a zip lock baggy and stow it in the boot for just that special moment when you finish a 360 degree spin at 65 MPH.  Whew!
   
  A hammer, duct tape and Fruit of the Looms, the only three things you really do need to have with you.
   
  Cheers,
  Carlos Cruz

late June on Roadside Failures and what to do, carry, etc. I am 
putting a list together of different roadside failures that people 
have had.

What roadside failures have you had while traveling in your 
Healey ??????????
