A friend of my husbands saw 2 MINIs this weekend in 2 different areas of town. They both had been making left hand turns. The front left wheel had fallen off both of them!! Has anyone else seen or heard of this? I don't have any other info about the cars. It just seems odd for someone to have seen 2 MINIs with the same problem.

>>Hey could be on to something here. 
I was at the Laguna Seca MINI Mania race a few weeks back when one of the MINI's lost a left front wheel on the cool down lap. 
I did a search & basically on other incidents of wheels falling off, it was the lug nuts hadn't been tightened properly. I actually lost a wheel on my old VW Bug because of loose lugs! It was quite exciting.
