I hit a deer (not an old dear) in my old chim at 80 mph - luckily I hot it on the head with the area around the near side headlight. 0.5 seconds later/earlier and it sould have killed me. The car was remarkably ok - they managed to get all the hair and blood off and repair the damage rather than wait yrs for TVR to get spare wing and nose readied.

I hit a fox, twelve pigeons and four rabbits at the week-end.

I got a smack in the windscreen from a crow a couple of months back, rather a dodgy experience!!! Pootling to college on a Friday Morning, along a straight piece of road, two birds standing in the middle, they took off, one didn't get high enough....WALLOP! Big dirty white skid mark up the middle of the windscreen!!! It's safe to say that bird shat itself

The look on the guys face behind me when it landed on his windscreen! Priceless!

Do you do requests? Like perhaps parking wardens & Tony Blair?

Last summer , beautiful evening driving along the coast in Denmark , going through a 30kph limit and a big black labrador runs out of i side street , the first i saw of him was through the drivers windaw , i thought he was coming in through the drivers door , crunch in the back wheel arch .
So the owner is very sorry admits it was his fault , he was cycling with the dog following behind , £400 repair bill and about the same in excess, get it fixed and because it was an "Accident " with an animal in a foreign land (i live in sweden) they are not interested in any way , got the excess out of the owners insurance no probs but what a strange attitude from my insurance co , Larry the Lab ended up with a few days in the kennels and a steel plate in his shoulder .

Bloody cheek! I wouldn't be so pi**ed off if I'd had an "off", but I was only pootling along a dual cariageway on the way home from work.
Girl on the insurance co. claims line asked if the fox had run out into the road - "no I chased it across some fields before I got the bugger............" FFS!
Any recomendations on a place for the repair (I'm near Croydon)?

One of my suppliers make composite body shells and plastics for a huge collection of industries. While stood in their workshop one afternoon I was lost for words at the condition of an entire Eurostar front end that had "hit a Deer or similar creature we never knew flat out in Europe" which is about 180 ish I think. Now that was a mess.

No,doubt it,hope so but don't expect so
You can repay with someday. Lot less painfull.
