Time to start Deer hunting!

[Rock-climby-Dave]

After months of waiting and comparing insurance quotes and fannying around I FINALLY got into my 1991 Eunos today. Booked the day off work to go play, sure it's rainy, but I can still enjoy myself.
Insured as of 9.00 this morning, jumped in the car and went off on some errands.
as of 3.30 Every nearside panel on my car needs replacing thanks to a deer running head first into the side of me as I was about to join the M62

 

Attached are pictures for your own amusement/my sorrow.

 

 

Worst part is I never killed the fecker!

aww you poor bastard.

 

Rather funny you to mention the deer hunting, I was saying about that in the "china is horrible" thread.

My uncle hit a deer in a tractor once. It didn't die instantly but it would painfully. So he dispatched it with a hammer

[Tariq]

It would most likely die from shock.

 

Hit a pheasant once with my bike. Hit my helmet. Blood EVERYWHERE.

[Hubert]

There are deer on/near the M62? Genuinely never seen any.

 

Does insurance cover "acts of deer", or are you going to have to fork out for the repairs yourself?

[Rock-climby-Dave]

Fork out myself, no chance of claiming at our age

[sp00n]

Gutted for you mate

 

I remember I was on my way to a car show, had spent hours and £££ getting my old st24 looking like glass (was ford state blue saloon, very very rare colour for a saloon) when I hit a pigeon on a back road I had a perfect pin stripe of blood from its grill to the boot spoiler

[Rock-climby-Dave]

ouch.

Not had chance to drive it with the roof down yet! still goes, just not as pretty.

On the bright side, you do get 10 points for a direct hit.

[Rock-climby-Dave]

nope, It does, I never hit it
