Out for a nochturnal hoon on local back roads tonight and a badger jumped out of the verge just in front of me as I came out of a bend at the nsl (honest!) It's the first time I've really had to use the brakes in anger and they were fantastic! The intial stab wasn't enough, I really had to lean on them as the bugger weaved left and right but stayed on the road. The grip and progression was amazing as I stopped in a cloud of smoke as the badger dissapered from view in front of the bonnet only to re emerge still running unscathed. A near miss but another opportunity to marvel at the performance of my chim!

Are you talking about the Badger or the Chim?

Glad all went well anyway.

It was luckier than the badger I came across two nights ago - thankfully I wasn't in the Tiv

Friend of mine works strange shifts that entail him having to start work at ungodly hours... He has hit two badgers in the last year, done lots of damage to his golf... he even has the nickname of brock at work now..
Pity he didnt have your brakes...
