Quick Quiz - What broke on TBE on way back from Billing
« on: 13 July 2014, 17:30:40 »
Driving up the road at speed (oddly enough, approaching Entwood driving as slow as possible with what looked like a kebab van), when suddenly a loud buzzing starts. Dropped it to below 70mph, and it mostly went away, but did come back, and ended up doing the last 5 miles at 55mph.

What happened?

Well, I guess that could explain the blood when I sat on the potty when I got home, but I'd put that down to Tim making another unwelcome appearance.

Something rubbing on a fan? A discarded kebab perhaps?
