Lucky it hit the windscreen, could have been miles worse!

Dent on the A pillar?

Gaijin · 31 Mar 2011 at 14:49

Punishment for windows tints if I ever saw it.

Unlucky. It's been mega windy here, wheelie bins everywhere

byteagig · 31 Mar 2011 at 14:51

I don't park under trees anyway, sap is horrible to get off

Very unlucky, I hope it gets sorted soon for you.

Very windy out today.

havnt had much luck with this car, last year a neighbour reversed straight out of his drive and into the back of mine at some speed. he is only about 19 or 20 and he told me his insurance excess was £800 ouch lol

The other reasons not to park under a tree are sap and bird crap.

Unlucky OP. However there was always the danger that this would happen so this is almost entirely your fault.

J/k.

hmm, bad luck Sir.
who owns the tree? if they have not been looked after regularly, cut back, it was rotten etc, you can possibly get that paid out on the owners insurance.

I had some low hanging branches scratch the crap out of my paintwork once (yeah, my bad for parking there) on a windy day and the councils insurance paid for a respray.

If it was like a freak storm however and the tree was well kept I am sure they claim act of god and dispute it. Worth a punt though.

Do you line in Woodthorpe/Foxwood ?

Will Gill · 31 Mar 2011 at 16:53

ouch thats some awful bad luck

A Pillar damage can sometimes be costly to fix!

lordrobs · 31 Mar 2011 at 16:56

Yeah, sod the screen and scratches, they are easy to put right but that A pillar might need a little more work.

Bad luck though

Cosimo · 31 Mar 2011 at 16:57

Very unlucky OP at least the whole tree didn’t come down.

In Bristol a few months back there was a big van that a massive branch had dropped on. It was totally destroyed. Unfortunately my phones camera wasnt working at the time
