Default RIP Bambi

Hit a bloody deer tonight, it just decided to make a mad dash straight across road right in front of me. Hate hitting animals but couldn't avoid poor little bugger, doing 50, slowing down for a 30 and it just appeared out of bush. Think my car got off lightly, cracked number plate, scuffed bumper and destroyed grille in bottom of bumper. Wasn't a huge deer, a muntjak, but still aint very nice end to an evening.

Affirmative!



And how it looks now (saving my pennies for a full colour change inside and out, so none to fix the damage!) The arrows point to the dented wing and sticky back plastic "Morette" headlight.
