Look at it this way bb, at least it was a quick death and it didn't skulk off injured and hide somewhere.
Don't give up the cars if you are enjoying them, like Graham said - that's your 3 !! It's just a run of bad luck with it. I'm a believer in fate so the meaning might become apparent (i.e. you might slow down for a bit, and avoid a nasty accident or speed trap or something), or it might just be a bitta bad luck.

Mummy sheep and fat b@stard lamb to not a "flock" maketh, and they were hiding behind a wall before they made their bid for greener grass on the other side of the road.I did, however hit a flock of sheep in my parent's 740 Volvo many, many years ago - I thank the final count was 2 instant, and 3 humanely put to sleep with a .303 at point blank range. Dragging a half-dead sheep off a road with its guts spilled out was not a pleasant experience.
I think the crofter had been herding them from behind a byre (which I couldn't see from the road) when they got spooked and ran across in front of me.
Nothing I could do, especially as traffic coming the other way.Stag was in my Saab 9-5 fortunately, and it merely bounced off - had I been in an S or Elise, I might well have been killed due to the lower road height.
Occupational hazard of driving in the country I am afraid.
Can the front clam be repaired if it's GRP, or does it mean a new one?

it was the Volvo incident I was referring to!
Still, I did manage to complete another 150 miles of the "full monty" run that day IIRC.
