Scooby took a big knock on the nose at the weekend, from a large chunk of metal left on the roadway.

Not too impressed with the Golf driver who drove right over it in front of me and kicked it up into my grill.

Could have been worse....... could have it the screen ... and occupants.

 

Ouch, that's a big chunk of metal to be sitting in the road. Didn't see any kids at the side of the road laughing did you? Quite likely it was chucked in to the road as a 'prank'....

As you say, just lucky it didn't kick up any higher - something of that size would have gone straight through the windscreen...

 

F**king Hell.

Rather through the grill, than the windscreen though.

 

bloody hell
as before. glad it hit anywhere else except your screen

 

That would of been fatal if that came through the windscreen, without doubt!!

You're extremely lucky / unlucky if you know what I mean.

 

god you could of been killed your lucky

 

I have to agree very lucky / unlucky

 

Not as bad as yours but I drove over a transit van spring in the scoob which flipped up from the wheel and punched a hole in the side of the car.
Knew who it was but they flatly denied it so they would'nt have to pay up.

 

I hit a big ****ing piece of engine in my 306, took most of the underneath of my car with it! I was in a single lane tunnel with no where to go, had to hold tight and take the hit,

Still you where very lucky.

 

Sorry for damage to your car buddy.
That's just plain annoying, minding your own business, then Whack!
So pleased this is not the bikers section. Hope she's back to new and good as gold (blue) asap.
Lexx.
ps pleased no-one hurt physically, just gutting to look at damage.

 

I was in the fast lane of the M4 late at night, when I came across something in the road - nothing I could do except go over it as there were cars coming up behind and one to the side of me..

it was a block of concrete, ripped my sump to shreds....


Glad no-one was injured - it could have been nasty

 

Damned unlucky mate It looks like half a tow bar bracket,Frightening

 

Gutting for you mate.

Just be glad that it didn't come through the windscreen and injure anybody inside.

 

Someone left a Badger in the road the other morning

Bumpers a bit loose and paint cracked now.

Yours is scary though - could have been so much worse......

 

Gypsy's don't give a **** about anyone, tattar's

 

when i was walking the dog the other evening some little gits had put a Tesco shopping trolly across the road, Which I duely removed, 10 mins later nobody would have seen it
Cheers

what really makes me tick is seeing ppl who dont know how to put wheel trims on their cars properly, i was driving up the A1(M) towards wetherby n sumbodies wheel trim removed itself from the car and flew back into my car, smashed my numberplate in half, fcukin ridiculous, ppl should maintain their cars more i say...

 

Gutted mate, is the Radiator ok, looks like its suffered a bit of damage there as well


hope it gets sorted asap for you...

Looks like part of the rear towing eye assembly from a Ford Explorer..

Ouch!

I doubt the Golf driver was too impressed either..

 

there was a guy near me a few years ago that got hit with a car starter motor when it fell off the pillion seat of a motorbike, it hit the road and bounced up and went through the windscreen and hit him!

 

similar thing happened 2 me twice now.... 1st on single track road, pickup truck goin other way chucks a similar lookin chunk of metal off the back, hit the grill, bonnet and windscreen then flew off into oblivion. (just cracked screen though)
then following week a few touch ups etc later, drivin up a19 and a open top lorry chucks out some more metal crap and pebble dashes the bonnet.

was there any radiator damage there? excuse for a new modded grill though...

 

500% agree with the above statement,

Think I would have filled my pants with the noise of that hitting the car

Gutted for yeh..!

 

Hit a lump of metal last Wednesday night - couldn't avoid it. Cracked my sump Because of the holiday weekend I don't get my car back until tomorrow. Have had a courtesy car over the weekend - an Octavia 2 TDI. Could convert me to diesel motoring - 49 mpg at a steady 80mph on the motorway

 

Some one left this in the road near me last weekend. And I didn't get any Easter Eggs this year
