Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 5m 30d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 28/11/04 10:23 AM Share Posted 28/11/04 10:23 AM I used to have a Gemini that had jus been resprayed a couple of days earlier and I was driving to work and I hit a dog. It went right under the car and came out the back and was doing stiff legged barrell rolls down the road. I didn't stop (yeh yeh I know, callous b@st@rd ) because I was late for work and it happened right outside a vet. Car was ok except for front lower stone tray was a bit bent and the bumper was a little bent as well.I nearly hit a roo in my T, it was just bounding along the side of the road in a fenced paddock keeping pace with the car and it decided for some reason to do a right angle turn and hop the fence and jump in front of my car. Luckily I had been watching the kangaroo and half expected it to do something stupid so I managed to avoid it. Thank God for ABS brakes.

A hightailing semi had just passed me in thick fog heading in the other direction with a coupla skippies in his bullbar (one still moving I might add)As I headed down the hill I found Kanga after Kanga. with shredded limbs and Iraqi citizen type injuries (the trucky had just hauled uphill scoring points for hitting)I had to put 16 critters over 25km's, down with no more technological euthanasia than a fence post whilst my missus and kids sat in the car.. There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching a roo trying to escape with one or 2 legs ripped off and fighting even whilst getting the coup de gra... We took 3 joeys to the shelter pulled from poutches... 4 I had Euth..... Not a pretty night and if I ever find that truckie I will surely put him through the same misery or quite possibly worse.......Other than that killed 2 cats (both mine and deserved it) and a Kamakazi Owl in the last 2 years in a fairmont mind you...... Police and catholic priests move off the road too fast and after scratching rims jumping gutters have left them for others..( Will wait till I have the Cruiser) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14172-have-you-hit-any-wildlife-with-your-car/page/3/#findComment-205471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaine HgAg soldier Member 253 Member For: 21y 11m 3d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/05 07:00 AM Share Posted 05/01/05 07:00 AM I was driving home from work one day and I saw an echidna walking around the road ahead. The guy infront of me driving a truck managed to get over it, and I tried to align my wheels so it would go straight under.. unfortunately for the poor little critter was that my falcon had been lowered 2.5 iches. Sounded like it hit the sump and then it flew out the back and hit the car behind on the front grill. I would have tried to swerve but it was only one lane and was a pretty hairy peice of road, not even enough room to pull over and see if it was ok. These things happen I guess, I felt pretty aweful that night but at least I didnt spaz out and end up killing myself and/or someone else trying to avoid hitting it.

Lord Cyric Just sit back and enjoy the ride...! Donating Members 1,121 Member For: 21y 9m 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 05/01/05 10:44 AM Share Posted 05/01/05 10:44 AM JAN 1, 2004 @ ~6am - Pacific Hwy just north of Coffs HarbourBaby 'roo came outta the treeline chasing after mummy... I clipped it's legs, the body skidded up the drivers side of my bonnet (~$2.5k damage), tumbled a few times, then got up and took off. My quick reactions saved this little upstart from being splatted dead-centre on the front bumper. Status of wildlife: unknown.Status of driver: extremely pissed off driving back to Sydney that morning. :reallymad: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14172-have-you-hit-any-wildlife-with-your-car/page/3/#findComment-205744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueXR6Turbo The Best Member Donating Members 1,970 Member For: 22y 5m 7d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 06/01/05 03:14 AM Share Posted 06/01/05 03:14 AM (edited) I was coming down from Mount Lofty in the Adelaide Hills on New Year's Eve (no I wasn't drunk) and narrowly avoided a dog that was walking down the middle of the lane I was in. Two lane road with a guard rail to the left, so I was lucky there were no other cars coming the other way at that moment. 80km/h zone, downhill, and in the middle of a bend too!
