Default Jimbob 1 - Kamikaze Badger 0.

Was out for a spin tonight with my mate as we were bored so we chipped in some money to go for a spin. All was well from mine to Llanelli through to Ferryside up to Llandeilo, then as I was approaching Llandeilo a Kamikaze badger decided it wanted to run at the front of my car as I was doing the national speed limit .
Tried swerving but no avail and thump, thought thats gonna hurt a LOT.

Anyhoo stopped and spun around quickly and el badger was no more and was at the side of the road, so I stopped to check what damage it had done to my car.

The splitter was split in two places and the indicator had broken its mount the bolt goes through, and thats it (until I can have a good look tomorrow).





(Did take a pic of the badger incase I got pulled as to why I have no front n/s indicator, but I`ll not post it up)

But gutted for the badger and also my car.

Finished off my spin via Bethlehem, and then through Manordeilo, Ammanford and dropped my mate off in Llanelli and now I`m home.

Yep, do it all the time and have some quality roads around here.

Yeah Deer can make a real mess, and a big one can be deadly.
Thankfully twas just the Badger that copped it!!

Yeah my mate hit a Badger on the way into work and it wrote the car off and he ended up in a field.

But this is the route I took.
