The same thing happened to me one day down in county Cork. Good few years ago, might have posted this before.
Anyway, I unknowingly left the cup on the top of my back then, Renault Scenic, and forgot about it. Even back then I always used one of those hard plastic reusable cups. cc @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy. Drove off, but about 50 yards down the road I hear a rattle on the top of the car. Said feck it, thatâs the cup! Got out but it was the middle of the summer and the grass on the verges was too tall so I couldnât find it at all. Gave up.
Had a straight run back to Limerick and didnât stop until I hit traffic on the Dock Road. Heard the same rattle on the top of the car again. Got out, there was the cup still sitting on the top of the car. Got a few funny looks from the lad behind me in the traffic retrieving the cup.
If you can remember the old Renault Scenic had kind of roof bars, not exactly a roof rack, on the top of the car. The handle of the cup got stuck in there.
Got stuck behind a cement truck for about 5 mins on the croom bypass, no chance to overtake safely with the rain and traffic. Tipping away a good bit back then hear a big bang off the windscreen. Huge crack on the passenger side.
Not at all too much spray. Rang the insurance company who passed me onto autoglass, twice in a year Iâve been onto them. Never had a chip upto this year. Raging as I have had a good ole week this week.
the father in law finally passed through this morning after probably surviving a lot longer than most with his clown car of medical issues wouldve. he had full control of his faculties right up to the end and he died in his own bed having planned his whole funeral.
Iâll raise a glass to newtowngoreâs finest this evening
