Some slight damage from a tree falling on it while driving at 60mph or so down the A303 earlier today.
Scary stuff. It's something that happens to other people, isn't it? Not any more for me.
Branch the size of my forearm came through the screen and landed in my lap. Roof rails smashed. Boot nearly ripped away at the back.
All safe though. Shaken, but all OK.
****ing hell!
Did it make a sound?
I had a branch bounce off the windscreen driving through Bruton (about 10miles off the A303) about an hour ago, I faired better than you luckily!
Glad you're ok
Lucky escape there CFH!
Glad you're ok!
Shit the bed
Glad you are all ok
Thank **** it was not the Bentley.
'kin hell, that was a close shave 😯
Lucky!
Glad you're ok.
Was it Jevees weekend off? Why were you I the front seat of a Volvo?
Did it make a sound?
Yes. Yes it did. A big one.
Luckily we were right by the Wherwell junction and got off the road quickly.
Police were excellent, clearing up the tree. Recovery all done, car gone. Will be written off, I'm sure. Wanted to replace it sometime soon anyway!
have you definitely ruled out the possibility of it being a sticker ?
303 - scary place even in good weather
Cripes 😯
Wanted to replace it sometime soon anyway!
Can I be the first to say Octavia VRS?
is the chauffeur ok?
That will polish out
Blimey Cap'n. 😯 What a horrible experience and glad that you're OK, do hope that there were no kiddywinks with you.
Yes the 303 is scary and thought I was going to be a gonner on there in December. Really shook me up.
CG, they were both in the back. Mrs CFH alongside me.
Oh no, it must have been terrifying for them. 🙁 Do hope they're OK too.
Thanks. Little Miss Cfh was in a state of shock for a while, it was her side of the car that took the brunt of it. Soon got over it. The Boy was asleep! Just about raised an eyelid when I opened the door on him. 🙂
blimey man, that looks a state. Glad to hear you're all ok!
I trust you'll McMoonter the bastard?
Plus, stick in a claim for *cough* whiplash.
Glad you're all ok.

Saw the title and was instantly reminded of Hector Brocklebank putting an advert in the local newspaper...... "Peter Reid from Peterheid is died - Volvo for sale"
Glad yous all safe tho...
Crickey flashy, glad you are all ok.
I had a branch land about a metre in front of me on the bike today and was worried about Mrs THM driving in the car.
It's even windier now.
Lucky escape cfh

TDi. it would have been a lot worse if I hadn't used the brakes.
I actually need to thank the tree as hitting it stopped me going down an embankment.
