Sooooo was driving through Epping Forest this morning when a deer ran out in front of me. Managed to brake intime not to hit it, but unfortunatly another 2 were behind the first one.

Crikey you dont realise how big these things are until theres only a pane of glass between it and you. Anyway i guess he's tried to jump the car. One of his feet hit the wing mirror

I thought he was going to put the window out but luckily it stayed intact. Then it went up and over my car

Nice bit of hair it left behind....

It then ran of back into the trees. I drove to Epping police station to report it but they wasn't interested as it wasn't dead.

So managed to drive home at about 20mph. Any faster i think the spoiler would fall off. Just waiting for the insurance to ring me back.......

Might be worth getting repaired yourself tho. New Spolier etc.

I use a guy in Barleylands and has done a few cars for me including a front end spray on the Tuscan. Was a top job for little money. Jason 01268 272777 if you wanna call for a chat.

Nurse Gladys

Ouch - that doesn't look too good!

Came close to that being me yesterday - fortunately I saw the first one in time to stop & waited as I was sure there would be more behind - and there were another 9 following! Fantastic sight when they aren't landing on your car.

I sat tight though there was still some tw@t who thought about going around me

That is scary, I have had a couple of them run out near me on that same bit of road.

Also a big thums up for Jason, had my bug sprayed by him and his work is top notch

Its the big dent in between the rear door and the rear glass that worries me. Looks pretty nasty. I saw 4 i think, not your little bambi type ones the big ***** ones.

I dont think it will be that bad a repair the worst of the dent is in the middle and that will pop back out, there is a slight crease tho.

Has Looie contacted you about the Fog covers and parking space yet

The dents appear to be in pretty accessible areas for pull/pushing

Poor old deer

Looie

I'm thinking about it...............

Seriously though - I've had a few near ones over the years, they do get the adrenalin going when they occur! - I've got to the point where I look at the hedges now as well as the road when I'm driving down the roads in and around Epping Forest....

If you need any help mate - just ask....

Looks like It's going to take a bit of work. Glad you're ok and the Deer managed to run off. Although there could have been a tasty bit of tenderised venison to be had if it hadn't.

Looie

MMMMMMMMMM........ Venison Burgers....... Yum Yum.....

Venison Steaks...... even better..... Double Yum Yum......

A414 can be a bit hairy for deer early in the morning, a friend wrote off his car due to a hedge runner. Tissy, even with all his powers of interception, was undone not so long ago by a deer.

Cheers Chris and Darc - the backside is hopefully just a replacement boot and spoiler. There is another dent which the big bit of mud is covering aswell i noticed just below the big dent. Got the assesor coming tomorrow morning to have a look. I reckon my cars worth around 6kl in the trade so i cant see the repair bill coming to more than that?

Big Pete

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Poor Scoob

We get deer running across the road through the woods LOADS around here. So far neither Mrs Big Pete or me has hit one...............

Yet

But we'll keep trying
