It was totally obliterated, according to the view in my rear mirror. You can just see a few fragments flying up as I hit it. Press the pause button just before I slammed into it and you'll see it was a large painters bucket :rolleyes:




No damage to Fergie  :sweating:

I've heard the phrase -- Raining cats and dogs  but never buckets

Any idea which vehicle it came off as they would be fined if the Police had seen it or can trace them.
  • 1.4 Petrol Active I'm no expert, so please correct me if

Probably was on a truck's open carrier and gone with the wind. They're indebted by law to cover them i think.
I saw a fragment flying in front of the windscreen :scared:

Did a bit more "hoovering" this morning.

It was raining so I named this file "Jetsam"

I love your little video's, this one reminds me of  Tassie  :goodjob:

I was too busy looking at the scenery, but was that another obstacle you had to avoid.
