Sheep attacked my cup



C

  172 cup
Have just returned home with my cup in a bad way. Was on way down country raod near my house in a slightly lively fashion. Went round half blind corner to see 6 sheep coming running towards me over the crest of a hill and a pickup coming the other direction on the other side of the road. Something was getting hit and (as you do) I decided it should be the sheep. 4 dead, 1 dying and the front of my cup absolutely wrecked.

Not a pretty sight on the road either. Police said as there was evidence of speeding etc they believed it to be the farmers liability. There are a few things seem to have been damaged that I cant understand like the passenger seatbelt socket looks damaged despite there not being anyone in the passenger seat?!?!?!? Was definitely not like that yesterday. Should I make a list of stuff thats damaged before the recovery vehicle comes out?

Am taking pics now, there were sheeps guts all over the road and I swear on my life one of the sheeps hearts was lying on the road beating for a good 30 seconds or so after the crash. I was very very very nearly sick!:dead:

Gutted mate, what happens with insurance, farm have some sort of liability policy? or just all down to your company?

Rams?

I take it that's not mud splattered on your bonnet. Nice work.

Looks like it might just be superficial damage though so you might be lucky as long as there isn't a sheeps head imprint in the crossmember.

Hmmm sheep gut splatter.

Was the seatbelt the pre-tensioners going off? I'd dread to see all the fault codes tripped from that impact. Sorry to see it :(

Ironic the reg i suppose!

Ithought if the pretensioners had fired the airbag would also have gone but yeah I think you're right. I'm actually feeling pretty queazy now, the sight of sheep lying with their insides hangin out their back end, rams horns everywhere and the unholy stench are still lingering in my nostrils
