Thank you every one
The car to be honest is not to bad amazingly. The core work RT carried out is fine except the lower wish bone. Which we can replace and or repair the original and re powder coat.
The shock has gone away tonight to Gaz should be back in 4-5 days.
Needs a little paint touch up under the bonnet which really needed a touch up anyway.
So on the whole very very lucky.
Target is Silverstone Classic on the Sunday which is very achievable thanks to David Gerald's getting straight onto the problem. Thanks guys

Flippin' heck Simon! Your nuts must have really tightened when your wheel overtook you!
Thank Heaven nobody got hurt, it could've been a helluva lot worse.
So sorry I didn't stop, but by the time I saw those two S's, it was too late/ too hazardous to slam the brakes on, so I continued on hoping for a junction so I could return.
I didn't even see who it was, but after a while I figured that are least if there was another S in attendance, if the problem was fixable, then it would be fixed.
It was with a heavy heart that when no junction appeared after a good few miles, I decided to carry on.
As it happens, there wouldn't have been much I could have done to help apart from supplying extra teabags and my last drop of milk, so at least that has assuaged my feeling of guilt a little bit.
If it had been an incident on tour sur Le Continent, I would have slammed on the anchors and reversed back to the scene at high speed, but that just isn't done on the M40.
Have you posted your new low level profile on GrindR yet?
Sorry to hear your news about your Aunt, hope she is doing well and makes a good recovery.
..Hahaha... thanks buddy I know
I commented to Mike you did try to slow/stop i could tell but you were trapped in and quite a way on by then. But thanks for the thought. ... haha.
Blimey! Sorry to see all that Simon. Looks like you're going to get it all fixed quickly and of course you're safe and sound. I hope your Auntie has a speedy recovery.
NB. I had a wheel come off a Hillman Imp many, many years ago. It slid to a halt in a shower of sparks out side a Chinese take-away. Not as scary as your incident and much more convenient

Funny you should say that Joe we ended the night well started the next day past midnight with a chinky. NB. I had a wheel come off a Hillman Imp many, many years ago. It slid to a halt in a shower of sparks out side a Chinese take-away. Not as scary as your incident and much more convenient

Glad you are OK and no harm done to your person. The car will soon be fixed and good as new; I hope to see you both soon mate.

Sorry you couldn't make it.
It was my cookies and a good cuppa coffee that kept him back im sure
Probably just loose and worked undone, but well worth checking the state of the other studs/nuts in case there's some underlying problem that lead to the thread stripping.
Glad you and the car came through with as little damage as it did - that's some impressive grinding you've done there!

Love the YouTube clip Si! 
I thought I was the only one on here old enough to remember the original! Well, except for greymrj of course!
Before I clicked on it, I was just about to ask if the Cherokees had captured you, but then I thought nobody would have a clue what I was going on about!
Keep your end up mate.
