Nearly lost a chocolate soldier.

Post by Eddie555 » Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:16 pm

Beware everyone. Today whilst traveling back from Lincolnshire on the A52. Fortunately in a van and not my C7. We were passing some workmen who were strimming the hard shoulder with their petrol driven strimmers and flicked a stone up and smashed my passenger window. Let me tell you I nearly let a chocolate soldier escape. My future thoughts are pass them with great care. Wide berth essential. It was fooking cold all the way back to brum.

This allways makes me paranoid, strimmers are lethal when it comes to stones, luckily no one was hurt

I was leaning against the window at the time and the same time last week I was having a kip. Thank good I have Kung fu reflexes and managed to react quickly. Fooking still got showered in glass though. Nearly bitch slapped the worker when we turned around to get their details. Ps I was the passenger. Cause can't drive at the mo due to a busted ankle.

Just coming off the back of my truck and took a step back and snap. Oops. Didn't even hurt. The bonus part is my son has been having a play in my C7.

The generations where reversed when I broke my arm two weeks before Le Mans 2012 - my dad got to drive my S4 there and back!

Get well soon dude

I think he might have given it a wash for me the day we got home! Wash the bugs and flies and Le Mans dust off!

Thankfully I'd just washed the car for a wedding at the weekend, before breaking it the Tuesday (my brothers birthday!) She was safe under the car port (I bust it cycling) so that's where she stayed!

Nah bam. That screw is holding the triangular fracture. I freaked out when I saw it too. Lol
