Look what hit me on the M5!!

Emily-Elizabeth · 23-07-2006, 20:07

I was travelling back from Weston, when I thought a bird similar to a swallow had hit my car as what looked like blood splated on my windscreen. Being the slightly sadist cow that I am, I was peeing myself laughing. I thought I could see a wing flapping on the offside headlamp. As soon as I could I pulled off the motorway to have a look, hoping to see lots of guts and gore (as I said sadistic) and take a picture for you all.

Got out to have a look, but it wasn't a bird

I know, I think I am going to need the whole thing for spares.

Add headlamp to the list:

Rear window wiper
Leaky sunroof
Motor for front windscreen wipers
Gear box on way out
Fag lighter for phone vharging
Back light cluster
Spare wheel puncture
Front bumper
Parcel shelf
Orignal rubber mats if poss
Maybe new engine as mine is going to hit 108k very soon

MOT in Spetember!!!

I still am, but not until September.

It is also down to me getting a job that leaves me with some money to pay for it. Found an insurance quote for £575

THAT'S SO CHEEP! 19 years old, 1 year's NCB, fully comp on a car worth £8.5k.

Nah, just plenty of downhills. I was in the outside lane having, in the process of overtaking a lorry so I think it might have came off it.

It so could have gone through my windscreen! The first time I ever went on the motorway, I went up to Oxford and I nearly got wiped off the face of the planet by a tyre falling off something from the otherside of the carrage way. I saw it miss my bumper by inches after I slammed on the brakes. I had a panic attack afterwards, well scary.

I had a brick bounce off from a lorry once.......... not good hoofed a huge dent in the bonnet and hammered the screen at about 70mph.. had it not hit the bonnet and thus was bouncing up.... it would have hit me in the face maybe killed me? Police??? zero interest; might have been had there been an accident :'( I had the ruddy lorries details it was still storming along the A45 carry palet loads of brick............... police ................. wonder why i bothered to waste the phone bill?

Furby_Lass · 24-07-2006, 00:10
