I remember a teacher at my school came in with a broken arm. When asked what happened, he replied "a bloody cow jumped over a hedge and landed on my bonnet, it wrote off my car and broke my arm. Oh and it also killed itself". We laughed for ages over that one.

I didn't even know cows could jump!

 

[QUOTE=Bada Bing!,May 20 2007, 01:58 PM] Dead on impact, poor little bugger.

 

Sorry to see this Gaz, unlucky.

At least it is all fixable and no one was hurt

 

Poor cat.

I was driving under a railway bridge the other week at about 40mph when I heard a thump on the roof.....I look in the mirror and see a pigeon rolling down my back window.

It just misses the spoiler and lands on the road, car behind misses it too. I checked the next day and there was no pigeon splat so I think it must have got away. No damage to the car luckily.

It must have either flown too low or fallen off it's perch

Shit happens Gaz, don't beat yourself up about it.

 

A mate got hit by a deer when out in his exige last year, mega bill for the front end and a long wait while it was repaired, best laugh though was just after it happened two guys a landy pulled up, took one look at the lotus then grabbed the carcass, tossed in the back of said landy and then sped off.

 

Deer are lethal. A biker was killed today in Aberdeenshire after hitting a deer.

Ouch! Deer are indeed nasty and they have no concept of Road Traffic laws.

 

Bad luck Bada

If it was me, I would take consolation in the fact that it was one less feline to crap in my garden

I'm not sure what will console you, but I hope you get it sorted out anyway

 

I hope he managed to get the deers' insurance details.

Still though, I'm sure the birds/cats question end up a lot worse off than you. Although they don't have to worry about repair bills, especially the dead ones.

 

Hmmm..... Or you could kick Fate square in the nuts and brazen it out by going everywhere on a bike?



I hit a good sized deer once, luckily I was driving one of those snub-nosed Micras. You should have seen how far it flew through the air! I'd had the car 2 days

Hope that is your three incidents and all you need is some attractive gaffa tape to get back on the road!
