Hi all,
I have been very lazy to come on here and wish I had joined when I first heard about the site. I have had my Silver Berghaus for almost a year now.
Thought as way of an intro I would tell you... and show you (if I can attach a picture) what happened to me whilst driving down to Cornwall this weekend for the surf.
I got hit by a pheasant on the A30. There I was admiring it, even pointed it out to my partner and followed it into my windscreen. Wallop! The windscreen just exploded. I was stuck in Cornwall for 4 days as a result, waiting for Autoglass to get a new windscreen.
Advice...1, avoid live stock 2. It's worth noting exactly what screen you have. Mine has the aerial in the wing=mirrors. Which I discovered the hard way. Autoglass ordered the wrong screen thinking as I didn't have an aerial visible on the van that it was in the screen. All she had to do was say, is there a faint line down the centre of your screen. No, ok your aerial is in the mirrors. That would have saved me on the stress levels)))
Well that's me... a year in and loving my Cali. I had a Caravelle before this and a '64 split screen before that.
Wave if you see me))

sort of reminded me of a few years ago when I had a pheasant go straight through the radiator of my mk3 cortina causing a great deal of damage and coolant loss had to be towed home :rofl :rofl
