Could be worse, I could be the deer! OUCH

Post by spurs fan in a coupe »

Well Friday was not a good day.

Hit a deer driving to work.

Made more annoying by the fact that I'd put up with my stonechipped bonnet for years and finally got it sprayed less than a year ago. Back to the paint shop she goes!

Sorry to hear your news Andy .....

Sure you weren't going to a stag do ?
You should always give way to Santa at this time of year

Frustrating and annoying though it may be, the main thing is you're OK (but don't expect too many presents) :shock:

You have my sympathy after my recent close encounter with a flying car window that caused cosmetic damage rather than decapitation.
It is right what they say though, as long as you are ok that is all that matters.
Bet the deer was not happy though :shock:

Spot on Pingu - I'm fine, passenger fine - so a result.

Car will go in next week, we won't be going down the £750 route! That seemed a lot!

Stage 1 of rebuild has arrived from Germany.
