In Bound!!

Going to Grantham yesterday a white BMW passes and then a loud crack!! Piece of stone had been thrown up by the passing BMW and caused a hairline fracture on my windscreen just above and slightly to the left of my head.
Outcome is now I have to wait just over a week then travel down to Grantham to have the windscreen replaced and the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS for short re-calibrated. The windscreen company do not have the facilities in Lincoln so my whole afternoon is going to be taken up going to the workshop then having to leave the premises due to Covid 19 (Waiting room no longer used due to Covid 19).
This is one of the biggest bugbears of modern technology, not only having to go to Grantham but also they need to have the car with a full fuel tank so as to enable a more precise calibration. Have to drop off the car at 15.00hrs and should be ready by 18.00hrs.
Not Happy I can tell you especially if it rains!!
