Default Just had my car 'rocked' on the freeway (Sydney)

Hey all

Still a bit shaky after having a rock thrown on my car on Southern Cross Drive Zetland tonight. I was in the Fairlane.

Was travelling south in the outside lane at about 8.15 pm, just near the Gardener's Rd overpass.

Bloody big bang that scared the beejeezus out of me, but miraculously no real damage. Direct hit on off side rear qtr window (the small ones behind the C pillar in the Fairlanes). Small mark, but being one of the small windows it stayed intact.

Too many cars to stop quickly. Too dark to see anything above or beside the road. Reported to 000 though. Had plenty of stone chips and other stuff hitting the car, this was nothing like it - much louder and from the side. It was like the hailstone hits I had the misfortune of experiencing once. Might have been a small diameter stone fired from a slingshot, not sure.

Thank god it was not my wife in the Mini!

I hate those mongrels.

Take care out there peoples.
