Out with the GP on sunday (miniclan run) and was going by a truck on the M8, just seen this black blob hit just below the windscreen. When we stop I look at the front an notice this :argh::argh: also nocked the wee bit of plastic off, gone forever:frown:

after I dryed the car I took it to a bodyshop in Troon (John Mcaleese) he has a very good reputation and has some beautiful classics being restored in his work shop e-types, old 911s you get the idea. So as I was planning to get the bonnet resprayed (lots of stone chips) this has just brought it forward, so I got a quote and the car is booked in on Monday so hears hoping it returns better than new:thumbs up:
Really puts you off using a your car when the roads are as bad:argh::argh:

Its all these crap pot hole repairs as well, they just turn to lose stones after a week or so. I was actually glad I went up to Glencoe in the Snow as I had forgot how much fun and nice it is to drive without playing pot hole roulette in Glasgow.

You get all these flyers for the election with all these promises but I’d Vote anyone that had “we will actually fix the roads”

Hope you car gets fixed.

Impressive and that’s just the stone chips that will be on that GP. They must know the track well to be going full tilt like that, that’s for sure.
Loved the passing of the various cars and then disappearing.
