Default what was that dear!

travelling along a nice open a road today,sun's out road's empty.....enjoying the twisties.........

As we round a bend,out steps a small feathered creature,stares me in the eye and leg's it!

on the brembo's hard,but to no avail

we here a thud,check the rear view mirror,nothing to be seen

"must have clipped it" i think,and off it flew into the field

anyway,continue on my way,100 yards later,2 young lads in a modified nissan driving toward me are pointing and laughing ??????

so stopped at the next lay-by to find





so........petrol station just up ahead,so i take the car in,blag a few bin bags,and return to remove the creature from one's front scoop

only for it to have disapeared i look up and a bloke in a beemer is rolling around laughing his head off

"whats up dude" i ask

he replys

"the bird in your grill.............it was still alive,dragged itself out,and legged it into the bushe's"

i hit this thing at around 60 MPH

be careful out there guys,them there grouse are rock hard

madness guy's

i was soooooo pleased the bird survived,unsure as to its injurie's though!

we live to do battle again

so,why did the chicken cross the road

no damage to the car,a few surface scuffs,but nothing a bit of elbow grease wont shift

a shame really,as i was looking for an excuse to import a wrc front bumper
