Greetings people.
I was driving home at 2:30 this morning , down swan st richmond, I went 
under the railway lines and was fangin' it in 2nd , to make the most of the 
echo, when SMASH, CLANG BANG etc....
I was sure that the gearbox had exploded or something equally heavy.
It turns out the I threw a fan blade. Luckily the radiator, bonnet are 
undamaged.
The clamp off the top hose/thermostat housing is missing so it must have 
gotten knocked off by the fan blade. I did have a spare set of fan blades 
but I fear they ended up on the skip last big clean up....
