HEADPHONES Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Driving along a busy road to McDonald's and hit 2 long separate sections with a 20mph limit signed as risk of skidding. Road has been resurfaced with loose stones/gravel. Despite keeping my distance behind the car infront, the sound of stones peppering the underside of the zed was akin to chalk on blackboard. And as traffic passed in the opposite direction it peppered my sides. I think I'd prefer dodging potholes than endure repairs like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 They do it because it’s dirt cheap, not because it actually works long term. Awful idea, but it won’t stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me when I had a Z4 and could not believe how bad it chipped the sills even though I crawled along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 We hit a couple of roads in Wales like this, seeing us four crawling along at 10mph was funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irn Bru Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Ahh the good old spraying and chipping resurfacing technology. Gets done loads here in the Scottish Borders as its mostly B roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
