poo pooe, that could have been nasty! Bugger. [:0]

Time for a laminated screen I think.

I had plans to change the colour of mine too but it's grown on me so have decided to leave it brown. It's a good '70's colour after all. [88]

I have had it replaced with a new laminated screen today with a new rubber too. It looks so good it feels like there is no screen there at all. Found a tiny bit of rust on top left corner of screen but nothing to worry about just yet.
As for the colour, it has grown on me lately so not too keen on taking it off the road as a project at this stage just to paint it, I want to cruise around in it a bit first.
Black would be nice but a bit too hard to keep clean and straight.

Brown is in this year. Its the new black

Probably hit his head on it under breaks.

that or a small rock hit the screen near the right hand wiper [88]

No it wasn't a rock, nor was it my head. I drove it along a farm track after it had been sitting all day at work on a 36 degree day, when it got a bit of body flex and the glass just exploded, the window did get hit with a stone in that area about 2 months back tho but couldn't see any damage then.

Mark, I have taken it on 3 X 280km return trips down to the Great Ocean Road now and it hasn't missed a beat, runs really well along the freeway and is a pleasure to drive. just a few teething problems I had to overcome but now all is sweet as, so no yellow paint for me!
Still having dramas with vicroads trying to get the roadworthy sorted,

would have been lovely driving that home [xx(]

I stayed the night in a motel and it was replaced the next day. O'Briens had a windscreen in stock but had to wait for a rubber to get couried down from Sydney overnight.
