Could this be a possible role for Rover- to compete with the shotgun manufacturers? (or is ALL hunting going to be forbidden by the new law?)

Narrowly missed a fox on Tuesday morning at 4 am ....next time Basil Brush!!
Somehow I dont think that the fox would have survived

I did the same with a pheasant once;had to clean off the antifreeze from the raditor which it punctured,but was quite tasty to eat after that!

did the same to a pheasant near Warwick in my F.
bloody thing's head went straight through the indicator lens bulb carrier et al.
so I bought a complete set of clear indicators which worked out cheaper than replacing the orange originals

The i thought I hit a stone story doesn't ring true. I hit a muntjac at 60 mph driving a Primera[ my company car ]at night.I was taking 3 Norwegian bankers to their hotel in Cambridge. It was pitch black and the deer ran out of undergrowth next to the road so I never even saw it. It felt like and sounded like hitting a tree not a stone and I thought we were going to die.

We got out to see what had happened and when they spotted the body the thin veneer of Nordic civilisation dropped away. They tried to pick it up and put it in my boot in spite of my protests about the risk of blood on their suits and cases. "Don't worry about the blood- it's very good to eat deer meat".

Spookily a cop car came out of nowhere and stopped to remind me that I was about to break the law if I took away my road-kill. " Don't worry Sir, Just leave it to us." So there was a happy ending for them at least

The impact totalled the light cluster, the grille & radiator and moved the wing back nearly 2 ". So the Rover looks tougher than the Nissan.
