I thought I saw this happen at about 7.30 this morning. When I got home, it was still there. Top marks for hanging on for 260 miles at slightly above speed limit.

Bet it had a headache hitting a RR at 90 ish....

That'll sting in the morning...........


I did the same thing once with a P38 HSE, only the bird was a pidgeon and the little hit the headlamp (probably on purpose). It was like i'd hit a pillow in the fast lane

I had the pidgeon experience at 70mph in my previous Defender. A heck of a lot of feathers... and it bent the front wing panel on a car that was only a month old.

Ten miles later it fell off the front of the wing and I ran it over with both driver side tyres. Hope that finished the off.

Nice!

I once hit a pigeon at 60 mph in the Mini, hit right at the top drivers side corner of the windscreen, bounced off, then hit another cars bonnet. There was blood and pigeon all over the windscreen and bonnet, it didn't smell too good, there was no car wash places around for miles so I ended up using a watering can and paper towels at a small petrol station  2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

I hit a pheasant (not peasant) in my Uno (first car, terrible I know) at about 60, it went through the bumper and then through the wheel arch then exploded as it hit the wheel. That was a whole mess of crap.

Mine was 1987 and black!

You got me there Dan.
I was expecting a picture of your car with a hole in the front. Instead I saw a car that's not yours and is a different colour.

Still, I imagine a peasent would have left more damage...

Some people on here may have never seen a Fiat Uno, although I suppose the "help" may have one. 

That's why I posted the Skoda in the new car post... thought it may make a change from all the bling-mobiles.

And the steering wheel is on the wrong side
I quite liked the Uno Turbos, although everyone always wanted the Renault 5 GT over it, both are rare as anything today though, they've all rotted away or been crashed.

Probably the latter.
I remember them being rather quick at the time.

Oh they were, the only time I've driven a 5 GT Turbo was my brothers in a private car park when I was 15, I always sort of wanted one after that but never got around to it, my first car was a Renault 5 1.4 though if that counts for anything
