I was driving home earlier and hit a pheasant at about 70mph, when I got home I checked for damage and my front passenger side foglight is smashed! So now I am fed up ad I now need a new foglight, my coolant keeps going down and I think my rocker gaskets might be leaking again :(
Any ideas how much I am looking at for a replacement foglight? And is it easy to change?
Cheers,
Richard

btw,hope you chucked the pheasant in the boot and took it home for sunday lunch. ;)

if your losing coolant it could have done the rad too

You're not allowed to, it's against the law, but the person behind you can, as daft as it sounds

I took one the home that I hit with my Carlton, it got funneled through the headlight unit and minced through the bulb holder fitting. No fanicied it for lunch though. I have the pics, but too gory to post. :-/

Roadkill - good eating!! ;)

Last time I hit one it came home with me by default. The brake disc had plucked it (well, one side) and almost cooked it too. :y

Bet Mrs Kevin Wood was a happy bunny when you dumped that on the kitchen table.
I would have played games and put it in a Tesco bag, and said it was on offer ::)

A friend of mine in Basingstoke has 2 Buzzards which were injured & cannot fly, in a cage in her back garden & goes out collecting roadkill to feed them on. She has a supply of Tesco bags in her car that she refers to as 'Bodybags' ;)

It was over quickly. Never found its' head. I suspect its' body went below the top wishbone and its' head above. :'(

I remember the occassion of her wedding anniversary party a few years ago when a deer had been hastily butchered at the roadside,bundled into the back of her car, roasted & served up cold in the buffet & in pies. Yes she keeps a suitable knife in the car just in case!
There's a deer on the A340 this morning, a few years ago one hit my neighbours Volvo on the same road & wrote the car off

Could have done worse, my ad hit a deer in his old company Mondeo ST200 back about 1998/1999. While he was drink on a saturday night he told my sister he hit and killed bambi, she cried for weeks love her :( she was only about 4 at the time lol.

Ooh. :-/ Could have been the same one thinking about it. It was somewhere between Mortimer West End and Four Marks. My brother hit one by the Vines a couple of years ago. :'( Made a bit of a dent in his Renault Migraine Coupe. ;D
