Dave the Mechanic

Wobble, wobble, wobble...thump, thump, thump; these are the sounds our little 1994 Toyota Corrola started to make approximately 20 kms outside of our destination for the night, Kaikoura. The noise seemed to be coming from the left front wheel, was it the bearings? Brakes? Dave's sure-fire solution: it'll fix itself. As we wove our way to town, the noise and wobble became more pronounced, so much so, that Dave reconsidered his original assessement. The local mechanic shocked Dave with the announcement that our wheels were coming off, he proceeded to demonstrate by removing all the nuts with his bare hands. Yikes!
