    Woke up on the Saturday morn at Victory Wheelers 30th Anniversary show. Poor guy looked to have driven 100 or so miles only to arrive at site & have this happen....fortunately 2 feet off the road onto a soft wet landing! Great looking rod with an apt caption on the number plate/tags ..... "SHOT DOWN" !!

    Looks like the dreaded banjo axle separation...

    am I correct?

    Maybe I should invest in some retainers?

    Nah, nothing forgotten PeteJoe, something gave way but hard to see in all the mud on the place but "the-rodster" may have it in one. Was gone coup hours later Dave so I'm assuming was recoverd, felt so sorry for the guy, was a cool looking ride but just happy for him that it happened there & not at 75mph on the M3! Did I tell ya Dave, I'm gettin 16mpg to the Imp gallon on the Lincoln??!! Was only good for ten in 58..... I may give up the scissors for spanners!!

    Definitely looks like Ivor's - he didn't forget anything - that's been on the road & driven hard for at least two years now. Nice truck, top bloke too.

    Hope it was a simple repair...
