Well I thought I was having a bad week 2 weeks ago when a T**t nicked my spare wheel off my RRS. Then tonight a huge branch off the horse chestnut tree in my front garden came down in the wind hitting our house roof causing some tile damage and then hitting my wife's mini cooper s, smashing the panoramic roof, damaging the roof, huge dent in the bonnet and wing, as well as scratches across the roof, down the side and front bumper........ Hoping in the daylight there is no damage to my RRS

Anyone know a tree surgeon in the Essex area? RR Sport TDV8 09 Santorini Black with all the trimmings

Sorry to hear that mate. Guess that's what insurance is for.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Not a good night then

I hate the wind, ever since a roof panel of the conservatory blew out last year, i can't relax when it gets strong

At least the horse chestnuts will be easier to pick, get the oven on, pop a few in a bag and it will keep the missus warm till her roofs fix

@nick, always look on the bright side nick
Sorry to hear about your bad luck T800L, yes it could get worse...... your insurance company could say that it was caused by an act of god which isn't covered on some insurance policys

Sorry to hear about your woes T800L. It could have been worse mate at least no-one was injured.
Metal & Brick can be sorted. Hope it all works out for you.

My Mum had blocked my Dad's car in with her car and he'd moved it so he could get out last night.
When he came out of the house this morning there was a huge Bow branch on the ground where her car

T8OOL, sorry to hear of your continued woes, hopefully you will be able to get it sorted out on the insurance easily enough.

I was up at the crack of dawn checking the RRS over and lucky enough, no damage

As for the mini it's not looking good, I reckon a write off. The panoramic is smashed to pieces, 2 large bumps in the roof and loads of small ones as well as scratches.

The A pillar is smashed, wing mirror shot, 2 large bumps in the bonnet and the bumper has 2 large scrapes down and to top it off a handful of scratches down one side of the car.

I'm no insurance accessor or body shop but I reckon it's a big job, my mate at BMW tells me the panoramic roof is £2k alone.

All good with the insurance and it's booked it at Balgores Romford on Monday. Mrs is already talking about getting into a 118d msport if the mini is a total loss.

As or the house damage, that's also got the green light from the insurance and they are even covering taking the rest of the tree down as its a danger

So not as bad as first feared.

Regarding the CCTV and the theft of my wheel, no news from the police yet since they told me they had secured the CCTV coverage and they were going to let me know if the act was captured. I'll chase the cozzers up on Monday RR Sport TDV8 09 Santorini Black with all the trimmings

we bought a church, and the wind now keps me awake, a serious number of slates to blown about we do all our own maintenace but there is no way i am going on that roof

May be time to do a little praying then at least the wheel will be safe  If it can be made i will try if not i am up in a wood some where may be over the rain bow
