Post by **Adam-D** » Sat Apr 08, 2006 7:44 am

coming back from derbyshire. down country roads and there is a removal truck infront,

knowing i cant get past i just follow.
after about a mile i think this aint too bad you know, every oncoming car got out of the way

then
BANG the truck had clipped a overhanging tree and snapped what can only be descrived as a log off the tree

landed straight onto my windscreen

i drove for next mile trying to check for damage there was none

next day, nothing,
day after a 3 inch crack right in the base of the screen

and im sure itll only get bigger.

damm.

aye as tom says, windscreen shouldnt affect your NCB and will only costr you pennies if you think about what it would cost you at a scrappy & then the ball-ache of fitting!

yeah, i have no cash atm, just got my headlights, so soon as the screen is done, i might aswell get the top of screen sprayed and rustproofed
then i can fit the new dash and trim the intrior
snowball effect anyone
