A funny thing happened the other night...

[Mark351]

After picking up a pizza enoute from the train station to home, I opted to take a slightly different path home, which means travelling down one of the back roads of Lara to our property. As usual, I was at the wheel of my trusty F100.

The backroad has a 100kph limit, so after entering the road from a roundabout, I put my foot down to get the beast up to speed. At about 80kph, the was a huge "WHOOMP" sound, followed by the icy cold wind blowing in over my head.

...that's right, the truck's bodgy old sunroof decided it was no longer for this world, and flew open - and off! :

I doubted it would have landed intact, and after a good laugh at home and a couple of slices of pizza, I drove back did a quick check, confirming that the roof was indeed history.

So with a sunroof size hole to fill, I was lucky enough to spy an eBay auction selling almost identically sized sunroofs for what seems like a very good price. Hopefully I can do a swap without too many dramas and get the truck back on the road.
