SMASHED!!




A couple of weeks ago we went out for a run and came back to find this!

No, we weren't parked under a coconut tree (Angela did check for coconuts, but there wasn't a coconut tree anywhere near us).   It seems that while we were out running a branch feel out of the tree we were parked under and smashed the windscreen.

Since then we have been having all sorts of fun trying to get it fixed. Of course there aren't any Subaru windscreens in the country and before we could arrange anything we had to sort things out with the insurance company.  A fairly simple job you would think, but not here.

Anyway, I was pleased when I received a phone call this morning saying that the windscreen had arrived and that they could fit it today.  So I carefully drove the car to the address that the insurance company gave me. This turned out to be some backyard workshop tucked in behind a laundromat! As soon as I pulled in and saw the look on the owner's face I knew something was wrong.  It turns out that they had ordered the wrong windscreen!! They had the make, model and year correct, but they had ordered the glass for a sedan, not a hatchback and unfortunately there is a difference.  

It looks like we will have to continue waiting until the correct windscreen arrives.
