I just have to share this:
My friend has a stunning MK1 Ford Escort.
Yesterday his wife was driving to home. Suddenly, windscreen just blew up!!!
I have never seen it blew like that! Look at those holes! :eek:
girlfriends Classic Mini did this.
No apparent reason, her and her sister in the car. Might have hit a pothole but neither can remember clearly, apparently having a thousand tiny pieces of glass cascading onto your lap tends to focus your attention elsewhere :cool
They got a local garage to hoover all the glass out and drove 10miles home "open air" style.
Hairline age/stress fracture that wouldn\'t have even been visible and then bang one pothole is all it takes

[/QUOTEThat is true :D
Yes, there were no pot holes. And no other reason, apparently it just blew up on its own...
I have seen windscreen go to millions of pieces but I havent seen with those massive holes. Weird...
Hope your friend\'s wife is ok and the Escort is back on the road soon.
