Using the car for work this morning and as I came off M20 for M25 I was hit by a large stone!!

Well I say stone, I mean bolder. It came from a lorry about 20m away and I was unable to get out of the way. Luckily it seems it was made out of some sort of sand stone. After washing most of it away it has left just a couple of small marks at the top of the front clam. Just missed the armour fend, DOH.

Welcome to being half the size on the M25. Personally I'd never sit behind a truck on my "local" road after suffering the same fate as you.

As for amourfend - tis always the way that you'll always get the odd one that will miss it - that's why I don't bother!

Conversly...I got hit by a lump of something about the size of a fag packet doing about 80. I was sure it was going to have holed the bodywork, but when I looked the Armourfend was rucked, and a chunk of paint was missing, but that was it. I was impressed.
