Hub Caps
Posted: Fri 27 February, 2009 Filed under: Driving, Travel, Weirdness 2 Comments »In the last month, I’ve somehow managed to lose all four hubcaps from my car. I know one went when I had the blowout, and another one disappeared soon after.
But I’ve lost the other two in the last three days. I haven’t hit anything, gone into any significant pot-holes, haven’t heard or noticed anything of them coming off. There’s no sign of them along my route to work. They’ve just disappeared.
Fortunately, when I had the blowout I’d ordered a couple of replacements from QuickHubs, and ended up getting a set of four as that cost me the same as two individual hubcaps. So in this case it’s fortuitous, as I now need all four – I’d have been mightily narked if I’d paid for two, and now needed two more, as that would have doubled what I’d paid.
At least now all four will match.
And I’ll be attaching them with plastic cable-ties as well, so they should stay put this time round…
heres a tip get some white tie raps and just tie them to the wheel thats what ive done, saves them from coming off
See the bit at the bottom of my post, where it says “I’ll be attaching them with plastic cable-ties” ?
Ta for suggesting what I’m already going to do…
