Myth Busters

Dnot think I would like to be any where near a winch cable letting go. Regards Steve M

Im a beer drinking, finger pointing yobbo.
I floss my teeth with frayed winch cable.
Wipe me bum with 60 grit sand paper.
And a wire brush to do me finger nails.

You softies got a problem with that.........hehehe.

Mind you, I do like my tea from Wedgewood and absolutely adore those little cucumber sandwiches.

Ok I'll fess up. Ive just been informed I have Aids.

"ALCOHOL INDUCED DIZZY SPELLS"......hehehe.

your first paragraph (use sand paper and floss with winch wire etc) confirms your statement that you do certainly have AIDS.....Aquired Imunne Deficiency Syndrome

ooops

that should read Aquired Intelligence Deficiency Syndrome

Yeah true Willem is only a show, I think I will still put my hand on the screen when possible. As you said the one that hits the screen is the one you dont see as in my case at easter got it right on the edge of drivers side and so far has headed about halfway cross my drivers wheel think it will take an uphill run towards the top. Luckily I'm covered so wont cost me anything only thing is they use windscreen obriens and have heard some nasty stories on how rough and bodgy they are but have never used them myself. I know a bloke who fits them but will cost me about $175 fitted for a new one if I pay for it myself. I just worry about them scratching the paint around the edges and behind the screen and puting a new one in and rust due to them not being carefull or touching up where they scratch the paint. Yeah I know I'm a fussy prick but hey we all work to pay for things that we want to last. Regards Steve M

I don't need some stupid TV show to tell me that idea from the 60s and 70s is utter BS if the rock hits directly where your hand is all you will get is a knuckle full of glass splinters, and Laminated screens are double sheets,

Watch yer blood pressure, Doug............lol

Gaaaasspppp

Yeah when I worked for Toyota we use to have the front drivers windows popping alot due to the heat in summer time. Use to be the old Lexcens (commodore). Use to just bleep ter with out warning never worked out what is was but seemed to happen less if we switched the air vent to fresh instead of recirculate. Might have been build up of pressure ?? Regards Steve M

What do you think about the Prius?

Hi there Go-N-Gray, my wife copped one as well on her new 4 door Yaris, The screens are also very sloped and as you said we found even in very heavy rain it seems to just fly up over the roof and still only have the wipers on low speed, but yes still managed to cop a stone chip a week after she bought it on the F3 heading up the coast car going in the same direction as she was and in the lane beside her. Had my mate come out straight away to drill it out and take the pressure off it. Can hardly see it now just a tiny dot. $1200 for a new screen if it happens to get broken, so took the windscreen cover out on it with the NRMA only an extra $57 so is well worth it. Regards Steve M
