Picked up this unwanted guest this morning. D\'oh!

I blame the RSPB.....

[Steve Burnett]

You managed to pull a bird with your RX7 then!
(oh thats a crap joke!!)


Hope it never caused to much damage to the bumper, other than it needing a respray.

[framey]

It IS a good car for picking up the birds I\'ll agree with you there!! lol

I only had it resprayed a couple of months ago - so it is a bit of a bummer. Need a new indicator unit also. One of them thar fancy smoked ones!
Not looking forward to picking out the remains of the bird from the car when I get home from work yech!

Another angle shows th eextent of the paint damage = $$$$$

I know it\'s not really funny and I apologise, but I can\'t help laughing about how the paint seems to have come off in an almost perfect bird-wing pattern on one side. You must have really hit that poor little bugger at some speed.

Well the roads were totally empty and it was 5 in the morning.
130 I think it was (after some heavy braking), or imagine what the damage would of been!!!
Oh well back to the body shop - should get a frequent user discount!

Is the bird OK??  Must have been a bit dazed...

[framey]

There were two of them see - one went left - one went right. Got them both, but hung onto the one that went left.

All this happened with my eyes shut!! Heard the two "thuds" though - ha ha
