I was driving my up around 5.20pm yesterday (I later found out that the Wind/Gust speed peaked at around this time in Manchester) when a large branch got blown off a huge tree and landed on the up's bonnet, then rolled up the windscreen and over the roof! It was about twice the size of the up, but luckily it wasn't that heavy. I got out and the only damage was some marked/scratched paintwork, a torn wiperblade and a wing mirror had been pushed back but was ok.
So I think the up is a tough little car! was surprised the bonnet survived and no cracks to the windscreen. Hoping the scratches will polish out, then will be back to normal again
I can't remember driving in worse conditions, further along my route there were fence panels & corrugated sheets flying across roads, was pretty scary.
Anyone else have any drama's?
