Just had a Pheasant slap bang into my intercooler scoop ... right mess, blood and guts on the windscreen.

Anyway, the scoop is vibrating on one end - on closer inspection the black plastic insert is now missing from one end (under the bonnet).

Tried a screw in place of it, doesn't hold .. I don't guess that the Stealer will stock such a thing - anyone had this happen?

I hit one on Sunday. Roughly 60 Mph, hit it dead centre of my lower Prodrive Mesh Grill. Dented it so far back that it pulled 3 of the retaining pins right out of the holes, scratching the bumper where they pulled loose into the process. That along with smashing the botttom of the number plate.
Made for a fun time tryimg to bend it back into shape and line the pins back up!!

Thought you can't eat your own road kill, has to be the person behind you

Quite correct otherwise you are poaching!

Try a deer next time, they really **** things up, trust me

My mate hit a deer on the a12 and it got up and ran off, made a right mess of his car

Don't think there would of been much left of the one i hit. I looked in the rear view mirror after i'd hit it and all i could see was the air filled with a cloud of feathers

I hit a deer several years ago, came from nowhere but just not quite quick enough, under the front drivers side wheel, smashed the fog light. It was about the size of a large greyhound, took a few minutes for the heart to stop. Have to say I felt physically sick and this is from someone who did a fair amount of shooting for the pot when younger.
The experience quite possibly altered the way I drive, ie expect the unexpected and no longer think in terms of blame for accidents, just do everything within your power to avoid.
I can imagine that hitting a pedestrian would be a life changing event.
Sorry sounds pious but not meant to.
