To focus my mind on this ... has anyone actually lost a wheel?

On one memorable trip in the early '70s in my mate's Triumph Spitfire we lost two wheels in the space of 35 miles ... though to be fair he was an impecunious student who didn't have the cash to be running a sportscar and the hub splines were non existent so not really a fair example (you could also watch the road going by between your feet through the dinner-plate sized holes in the floor pan! ) 🙂
