Thumbs down Windscreen took a hit yesterday!



I was up running around Seattle yesterday and from this run way truck comes this huge boulder and as you can see it landed right on my windshield. Ouch!



Now I just got to sweet talk Heinrich out of one of his spares.

Lucky you have the still available green glass. I just had my bronze tint window repaired to help it last longer. No more factory Bronze windows. I think missed out on the Ebay ones.

Don't the colonists call it "windshield", and the ROW call it windscreen?

That sucks, Shane - get the license plate?

I call it an 'invisible magic wind deflector'...

OK, time for cocktails.

It could have been worse, I mean can you imagine the size of a paint chip that would have made. Probably would have left a dent as well. At least the window in replaceable.

Shane,
I agree.
Virtually, all of my windshield micro-chips are preceded by a hood, or, fender 'tick'
with accompanied chip in the paint. BTW ... More HP? You ****!
Normy,
Army Aviation - primarily rotor-wing - refers to the frontal glass as windshield.
Parts manuals also list them as windshields. Lower glass as chin-bubbles and overheads as Greenhouses irregardless of color.
Could be due to a cultural difference -fixed wing vs rotor wing- in nomenclature.
John K,
There is a factory Bronze windshield in my bedroom!
My wife is not very understanding about my storage site, but hey.... who else should be worried about our bedroom decor? Don't answer that!
I got the glass and a ton of other parts off of Snowball when I bought his gorgeous White 81'
aka Snowy for Zack last March.
He unloaded so many parts on me -very reasonable- If I'd of had a bad wreck on the way home
from Wyoming they would have thought there was another car involved.

It is the PacNW way of things, John.

If we aren't messing around with S/C's, turbos, or strokers, we are putting on the latest gofastgadget from Louie Ott.



Tom thanks for the link.
