Its a bit off to the right and lower than line of sight but probably about 10cm across, doubt it can be repaired due to the size...will need a new windscreen.

better windscreen then your head (if that went through)

i would have ducked at the sight of it coming in any case

Did he throw his prop shaft at you?

"luckily" its only the screen!

Thankfully the windscreen stopped whatever it was but made a hell of a loud crack sound.

Thats the weird thing the truck was almost next to me passing, didnt see a thing coming...just lheard it.

I feel and know your pain. I've received a few "gifts" myself in the past.
The most memorable one was on the same day when I got my new Nissan 350Z a couple of years back. A stone hit the windscreen and resulted in a huge crack. I had to wait days to get a new windscreen (they were quite new and scarce at the time) and I did not feel like driving the brand new car with the busted windscreen. To boot, it was a mission to replace and the guys who did had never seen a 350Z before, let alone worked on one. They were constantly on the phone to find out what to do. I could not believe what had to be removed to get the windscreen off.

Better the windscreen than the paint though.

 

[Lizzard]

And a beer or something strong, DAMN that looks bad. What was thrown?

Sorry to hear, hopefully you dont pay for the new windscreen

Guess it comes down to wrong place and time....
Thats the thing, these days windscreens have got lots of extra bits fitted to them just hope after replacement everything works as its supposed to...

Yeah its just a crappy experience...did'nt actually see anything truck was passing almost next to me...

 

[ChefDJ]

I would probably have flipped the car when that thing hit. Sound must have been insane.

Jason is the one guy that helped me on both occasions. Friendly, efficient and fast. They handle the entire claim process for you, all you do is supply them you insurance details.

 

[Nick]

Cool bunch of dudes.

 

[SylisM]

eina bru, but at least you are safe and unharmed. Well I take that last part back, any damage inflicted on a car hits a gent where it hurts most :sorry:
