blimey nic !
take it your ok though

was it a stone or something larger ?

[QUADROPHENIA]

was that in the ghostbuster bus

[nic968]

 I assume it was a stone..A bullet looking hole was visable on the non driver side(thank the lord I'm in a LHD car)..and there was a huge bang...
 
  I'm OK Kev...A little shook,70mph in the fast lane then bam...

 Yeah Pete..It was the wagon,not even the luxury of hazard lights or laminated glass.....

Nightmare mate, I did wonder where you were.  Still at least you are ok!

[se]

Was that on the dual carriageway north of Canterbury after you come of the M2? I had a massive stone smack the windscreen there on my way, sh&t meself, the proper reflex dashboard duck and everything. Just a chip in the screen though. Bad luck Nic that is a right pain. 

[DR VINOAH]

dam nic that was close

did you kick all the glass out or drive it home like it?

[Humps00]

That's not nice and thank God you're OK.  We tend to forget the old 'safety glass' these days with laminated screens in everything.  What would be nothing more than a chip today is what you got on the VW and how frightening is that!!  Trust you can source a replacement because somehow I doubt there are too many of those old screens about.  Humps

Hope you got home ok Nic, what a bummer!!! See you at Daggers in two weeks mate, dont forget to bring one of those emergency windscreens

Am glad your ok xx

God, dont think I'd want a replacement screen if it does that (I remember that happening in the country lanes one night when I was a child and my dad was driving us home from a night out and that was scary enough).  Can you not get a screen to fit your VW with safer glass in it?

[nic968]

 The search continues......Too much old school in my life I reckon...
 If I'm not sorted by Daggers,I'll be digging out my Oakley driving goggles....

[lazychubs]

what vehicle is it or are you sorted for a windscreen
as you can get laminated glass for most old skool vwhicles now

[Pro-tec]

Oh man!!! Sorry i didn't check this thread earlier only I thought it was about the weather.  Glad you're ok mate. What kind of veedub do you need a screen for (other than the rare as hen's teeth kind)? I'll ask around.
