Simon's account reminds me of the ride to Beaulieu rally one year, I was crossing the New Forest at the wheel of my father's 'Chummy' with 3 passengers aboard when I was (rapidly) overtaken by the offside rear wheel, which continued straight as an arrow till it lodged in some poor chap's fence a couple of hundred yards ahead. Felt just like we'd gone down a big pothole. Soon rectified once we'd figured out how to get a jack between the axle and the road...
