[jimbo9999]

just hit a badger on my way home from work thankfully i was not in my clio i was in my van a kangoo this badger was like a bloody dog was huge the thing is its taken my radiator out so lost all my coolant and the van just stoped called the aa man out and he put some water in and my god it quite literally came straight back out so he towed me home its taken all the plastic dirt shilds off the bottom its bent the heat sheald for the exhaust so yeah quite alot of damage and thats just looking at it in darkness cant wait to see it in the light

i can imagine if id hit it in my clio it would have been a lot worse i dont think id have had much front bumper left

oh well such is life

Mmmm I hit a fox in my Clio 2 months ago, didnt kill it but took some of its tail off, checked my rear view mirror to see it limp away, very pissed off...think it gave me the finger not sure.

Actually did no damage to the front of my Clio at all, though some blood traces...

Was very upset as dont like hitting anything and this was the first time I had hit anything living... had to swerve around a lazy mouse once in the works car park.

So donated £50 to the RSPCA via their website and got lots of stickers and wall charts about hedgehogs.

Dont blame it on the sunshine

Blame it on the badgers!



But seriously, Im sure itll be ok.

YOU b*****d THATS MY BADGER GRRRRRRR

 

[Dust]

Badgers normally mangle sumps. Was it dead?

 

[funkimic]

from the damage to the van i reckon the badger is no longer with us.

i remember seeing a vid of some touring cars heading down a straight towards the camera and a rabbit dashes out onto the track. looked liked it was vapourized. just dissapeared. poor fella.

I remember i once was driving down a 30 a little bit too fast, bout 45 ish... and a cat ran out from the right pavement accross to the left... I slammed on my brakes, locked up, made loadsa noise (in my old 95 rt) and as my wheels were locked it felt as tho something had gone under them, like a slight wobble to the wheel... But then when i looked around, the cat was no where to be seen.

Still not sure whether i actually hit it or not, or just managed to miss it. Anyhow, an old geeza was walking along the pavement and obviously didnt see this happen, shat himself, and he probably thought i was trying to cause havoc, cause i left skid marks right acrross the words of "BUS STOP", lol.

i hit a badger 3 months ago two of the lil bastardz were crossing the road swered to miss them as it was too late to brake missed one and hit the other went back to take a look and the other one must have been its mate because it was just circling round the dead one was gonna get out and move it but heard dodgy stories of them biting and having sharp teeth. luckily my car was not lowered them and standard clios sit higher than bloody land rovers.

 

[jimbo9999]

believe me the way it hit the van its well dead i didnt stop to see the mess because it was a pitchblack road but will lookout for it when i go back the way i came later today

Has anyone hit or nearly hit a elephant or any other sorta strange creature? Perhaps a monkey? Lion? Tiger? Or even a dolphin?

 

[GilesB]

i nearly hit a man dressed up as a sheep!



i think he was in fancy dress because i swear wallace and gromit were on the other side of the road

 

[DingDong]

My friend hit a badger in his Ka the other week.

Put a massive dent in the bumper, and broke his front undercar neon.

He was sooooo gutted

 

[Rasclart]

Yeah my mates Mini was written of by A Badger! It absolutely f**ked the car!

I hit a rabbit in my first car (a fiesta 1100), all I remember was a bang then the car started pulling to one side. I was in the middle of nowhere and I didnt want to stop and look in case it was still alive inside my wheel well. Once Id got home the car was driving normally so I didnt bother looking until the next day, there wasnt anything left.
