Road Kill Damage - Saxperience

Went fishing very early yesterday morning, 4am ish, set off down the m18 doing a steady 85-90mph all the way down from jnc 1 to jnc 6, as i left jnc 6 i came into an area of doncaster called thorne where the pond is i was fishing, just as i leave the roundabout i spot two ducks, far to late to brake and to dangerous to swerve, i ran into the pair of them but felt nor heard anything, as i got out the car the 1 of the ducks was still breathing but in pieces so had to do what was best and finish him off, now i had no bang and didn't here a connection to the ducks but its smashed the reg plate to bits and the other duck has wiped out the near side front fog....blood everywhere.

anyone else ever hit anything? something heavier maybe? like a dear?

I ran straight over a hedgehog once and it shattered the arch lining!

A friend took out a sheep on some country lane in North Yorkshire (in a mini). Smashed the front end, windscreen, roof and dented virtually every pannel on the car with the impact. Insurance co refused to pay out because of some technicality!

A big fat crow.

It swooped down really low just as i was flying by down an A-road. Bulk of it must have gone below the car cus there wasnt much of a bump. I only just saw the bird swooping down out the corner of my eye and wasnt even sure it was a bird.... till i peaked at my rear view mirror to see the car behind me navigating through a fog of black feathers!

I still find feathers in my engine bay too!
