The Hazards of B-Roads!! (pics)

[Nez]

Well... finaly got my car back on Monday after 3 weeks of it being in and out of Renault. Basicly the standard 182 exhaursts are sh1t! Its only done 7k ffs. And its still not fixed..

Then this happens... went for my evening blast down some local B-roads, I've not driven her hard for ages and we were really enjoying our selfs. Until a dumb Pigeon decides to fly out of the hedge and straight into my windscreen!!

Its going to cost £60 excess on my insurance and will be off the road again til Friday!

RIP Pigeon :dead:

Thanks mate!!

Actualy I got pulled by the police on the way back.. I thought he was going to lend a hand but instead I got a bollocking for having my hazard lights on! I was doing 35 in a 60 zone! I was warning people.. His reply was that I shouldn't be driving it, I was only 5 mins away so he let me carry on.. without hazards on. :S

 

[Nebdingo]

Blimy I'm impressed I've never chracked my windscreen and I've hit quite a few birds. Badgers are the pain they weight more.

hazard lights are meant for use when the vehicle is stationary ONLY. That's why he told you off.

 

[caine]

ouch that looks nasty, looks like you can see where it hit!

 

[LegoHead]

Nasty! I hit a pigeon once when I had the bikes on the roof, it just tore the poor bird into a million pieces! Bike was covered in juice.:dead:

 

[paul]

Paul

 

[Lee]

Nasty! i would kak myself! hehe

You were lucky when we went to York in 2003. If I hadn't come ragging past you the pidgeon I hit was going to hit you. No damage but it shat all over the car when I hit it.

 

[polarbert]

is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's KAMAKAZEE PIGEON!!!!

Which is, in fact, a bird.

 

[Adam]

fooooooooking hell

 

[manji]

ouch that looks nasty, looks like you can see where it hit!

That would be a Hawk Pigeon :rasp:

I phoned them and they have put a note on the job sheet.

But... What is a Gel Pack?? Just so I know what I'm looking for when they do it.

Cheers
