Title: Windscreen
Post by: Crazydad on 18 August 2007, 19:16:26
Nearly craped myselfe on the way home from work today.

Was travelling down the motorway at about 75mph  when all of a sudden BANG (well i can tell you there`s

nothing wrong with my Heart) the windscreen has shattered  :-/

lucky enough there was not  much traffic on the road, managed to pulled over on the hard shoulder, and

changed my underpants ::)

Checked the windscreen and found a srew down by the wipers, must of been tossed up by a car on the

opposite carraigeway as there was nothing in front of me.

Can`t get it changed untill Monday everything is shut. :(

Good job i`m Insured i bet there not cheep :-/

I was following a skip wagon and although there was a tarpaulin over the skip, it wasn't completely secure and a 3ft square piece of wood came skimming out the back!, i managed to avoid it, thankfully, on a quiet side street!

Mine isn't cheap, mind you... I pay £700 for full-comp and I have max NCD (not to mention that I am over 24...), problem is that street parking in central London is a big premium hike...
