Damage to my Scooby - what will people leave on the road next?
Scooby took a big knock on the nose at the weekend, from a large chunk of metal left on the roadway.

Not too impressed with the Golf driver who drove right over it in front of me and kicked it up into my grill.
Could have been worse....... could have it the screen ... and occupants.

Ouch, that's a big chunk of metal to be sitting in the road. Didn't see any kids at the side of the road laughing did you? Quite likely it was chucked in to the road as a 'prank'....
As you say, just lucky it didn't kick up any higher - something of that size would have gone straight through the windscreen...

You're extremely lucky / unlucky if you know what I mean.

Not as bad as yours but I drove over a transit van spring in the scoob which flipped up from the wheel and punched a hole in the side of the car.
Knew who it was but they flatly denied it so they would'nt have to pay up.

Sorry for damage to your car buddy.
That's just plain annoying, minding your own business, then Whack!
So pleased this is not the bikers section. Hope she's back to new and good as gold (blue) asap.
Lexx.
ps pleased no-one hurt physically, just gutting to look at damage.

I was in the fast lane of the M4 late at night, when I came across something in the road - nothing I could do except go over it as there were cars coming up behind and one to the side of me..
it was a block of concrete, ripped my sump to shreds....
Glad no-one was injured - it could have been nasty

Someone left a Badger in the road the other morning
Bumpers a bit loose and paint cracked now.
Yours is scary though - could have been so much worse......

there was a guy near me a few years ago that got hit with a car starter motor when it fell off the pillion seat of a motorbike, it hit the road and bounced up and went through the windscreen and hit him!

similar thing happened 2 me twice now.... 1st on single track road, pickup truck goin other way chucks a similar lookin chunk of metal off the back, hit the grill, bonnet and windscreen then flew off into oblivion. (just cracked screen though)
then following week a few touch ups etc later, drivin up a19 and a open top lorry chucks out some more metal crap and pebble dashes the bonnet.
was there any radiator damage there? excuse for a new modded grill though...

Because of the holiday weekend I don't get my car back until tomorrow. Have had a courtesy car over the weekend - an Octavia 2 TDI. Could convert me to diesel motoring - 49 mpg at a steady 80mph on the motorway
