I had front offside go on my 4.2 QS D2 at about 95 mph on the M6 toll road - I seriously only knew because of the smell.

4 up in the car, I'm like "anyone smell that, what is it?"

I even took my hands off the wheel to see if she was still tracking straight - she was!

I can only assume that despite the deflation, the speed of the revolution of the wheel somehow kept everything together
