hit a fox at [ahem] 70mph
Just on the way home from playing with a mates lathe at just after midnight a fox decided to jump out, as they do.
What I didn't count on was that it was still on the car 8miles later and fell off on the pavement as i parked my car on the driveway at home.
It was like a biology lesson from hell clearing the mess up.
Suprisingly didn't do too much damage considering the speed i was travelling at.

You will be having the animal rights activists onto you if you're not careful!

Try a Badger straight into the Grill.. a mate had that , and when the bodyshop got the car a week later, they had to clean all the brains out, as it
had permeated right into the space between the air con rad and the other rad.. and was right smelly by then

Didn't Oscar Wilde say they were
'in-edible'?
If so, how did he know?
He also said the clowns that chase them on horses were the 'un-speakable'.
Thankfully this is in the 'Anything Else' Section, don't get me started.

getting bloody expensive.

i had several pigeons in the space of a week. One Hit the top of my windscreen and i had a nice pigeon shaped greasy mark on it for ages till i could
be arsed to clean it off.. We had a vectra at work that hit a dear. There was hoof marks over the roof where it rolled over the top and guts
everywhere. Needless to say it wrote the car off!!

Wait a minute
Isn't fox hunting now against the law...
Perhaps you could prove it was suicide, the fox apparently threw himself into the path of you car.

My dad hit a deer at 60mph in his mondeo. The whole front was smashed in. The scaring thing was that we were going to go in the Lotus Elise!!!

The law says some thing along the lines of hunting mamals with hounds. So if your dog catches a rabit, thats illeagel. Chase a fox with dogs, then
shot the fox before the dogs get it is leagal.

You were lucky - I nearly did that much damage hitting a cat at half that speed.

Ok Paul I give in what was it?
I've picked up a few fox bodies over the years in the name of vermin control, and if you'd been near a fox you wouldn't consider
eating one as they absolutely stink.
And before you all start I hav'nt shot any for years and I would much rather see them running about .
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

The pic paul posted was one of a series of a deer hit.
Questions were raised about whether they were real or not though, as other pictures show the drivers seat totally covered in blood...so where was the
driver! Etc etc...little things that point to it being fake.

Apparently, the worst thing about large animal hits is in a low speed collision. If the beast comes through the screen hooves flailing, it ain't
pretty!!

It was a deer hit with a mini-van or SUV. Blood & guts from the front end to the back. A friend of mine is a paramedic and said the color and
texture looks just like what he's seen on calls he's been on. If it is a fake (and I don't think it is), it's a pretty good
one.
Here's some more happy pictures:
License and registration, sir.
Damn Illinois drivers....
And if a deer isn't a big enough problem, how about a moose? I believe this is from Alaska. Moose are bigger than a deer, but smaller than a
horse.

How do you turn a dog into a fox? Drink six shots.
