30th of december last year, heading home after 24 days offshore and I hit a bambi.Absolutely nothing I could do as it was very icey. It ran straight out and stopped right in front of me. Luckily it hit the right side as I have an evolve carbon airbox which is declared but not covered by the insurance that lives on the left side of my engine bay. It's head and neck detached from it's body as evidenced from the blood on the wheels and bonnet. 6.5 k of damage done. However she is repaired and is being collected tomorrow. 
Ah the joys of living in the the north-west highlands of scotland. Found 4 of the furry critters in my back garden yesterday morning.
Feel very lucky that I was ok and the car can be repaired.
Very lucky that Bambi went downwards onto the wing/wheel area, and you could get a repair. Ah the joys of living in the the north-west highlands of scotland. Found 4 of the furry critters in my back garden yesterday morning.Feel very lucky that I was ok and the car can be repaired.

My neighbor lost a 3 year old 4200GT as the Deer he hit went up over the front wing and struck the A pillar writing the car off.

I remember seeing pictures a few years ago of a Z4 that hit one on the autobahn, and the deer ended up evenly distributed through the engine bay of the car. It wasn't pretty....

Still, anyone for pre-minced venison?

Contents of the deer's stomach ended up in my brake ducts.

Blimey, having seen the blood stains I was glad when I read it was a dear.
I had a VERY near miss with one driving through east Sussex a couple of years ago. Also had a similar near miss with a kangaroo in Australia a few years back, saved only by remembering what the bloke at the car hire outlet had said; that if you see one kangaroo, then there are probably more!

No one else involved thankfully, just myself and a very sturdy tree
Any crash involving a Car and a Tree, that you walk away from, is a good crash! Glad you're ok!
Looked a tidy car too, worth buying it back from the insurance co if (I assume it will be) it is written off?

If I was to buy it back I reckon I could make a few hundred quid on parts, just depends if that is worth the hassle of stripping it
