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

putting a list together of different roadside failures that people 
have had.

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