Working in Germany Thursday and Friday I decided (as self-employee'd) to leave early Wednesday and get myself kip before driving from Cambs to Kassel across UK, France, Belguim, Holland and into Germany and back next day collecting some Lasers.

Anyway on the Wednesday driving home round some nice country roads basically a lorry decided to dump it's load on my STI bonnet! he didn't stop, I orginally needed new pair of pants as the noise was intense and had no idea what happened at first.

By time I would of turned around the lorry could of gone 1 of 4 different ways at the Junction and around that area there is alot of construction work so would of been hard knowing which lorry did the damage.

Anyway dropped it off Thursday collected it Saturday, Splash in St.Ives did a good job pulling out the Incredible Hulk fist sized dents out my bonnet and rather than try and blend where the paint was ripped apart resprayed the whole bonnet perfectly.

Still p*ssed off paying £300 because they couldn't load a lorry properly! moving house in few months and trying to save cash and this doesn't help.

RANT OVER

*and breathe..........*

and to be fair I could of gone elsewhere to get the work done cheaper but I know these guys do good job and can't be bothered with a 'hope it'll look ok' job.

ive seen this happen before. rocks get stuck between the rear tyres and then when the trucks are up to speed the flyout like a slingshot and take whatever is in their wake with them normally your windscreen or bonnet etc.

they should be checked before they leave a site but sometimes they are missed .
