Dead bird on intercooler - PICS
I was having a nice little blast home from Ayr beach with my girlfriend.
Two pigeons were sitting in the middle of the road playing chicken with me and these were the results:
You can guess where one of the pigeons ended up:
Looks like I need a new hood scoop. Does anyone know how much they are for a hawkeye?

Did you take the insurance details from the other pigeon. Scoops aren't very cheep.

Haha, more power to come after I plumb in my FMIC, fit my GT headers & Harvey up pipe and have my AVCR mapped by Andy F on Tuesday!
I was driving at a rather spirited pace right enough!

pigeon strike is not pretty at er... spirited miles per hour
Have often wondered how many people get various objects in their scoops as

I have seen that vid before and it was the first thing I thought of right after I hit the bird!
I bet my windscreen excess is cheaper than buying a new scoop and having it painted though

It could have been a lot worse. Having smashed a laminated screen on a hen pheasant and being concerned about having bent the screen pillar I now treat all birds with a degree of caution.
Roast pigeon breast is a bit of a delicacy but you need so many of them to make a meal
