<VV> Now 3-Lug wheels

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Yep, the absoltely beautiful 1934 Lancia that I just towed back here for
some work only has one lug nut per (wire) wheel, and they seem to be stuck
on O.K.

And I would have thought that wire-wheeled XK120s could generate some
cornering force...

Cheers

Alan

bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the
Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love and 500 years of
democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.''  Orson
