Long story short, driving home through a woodland know for deers (yeh you can guess what's coming) it is a national speed zone but i always drive through at 40mph maximum.
Saw one deer run out in front, brakes on, swerve, second deer, boom.
FML.
Along with the noise of the deer going under etc, i look in my mirror to see that behind me was a police car... he saw the whole thing, and said that by no way could i have done any more than i did. Lovely officer, helped me out and also the deer.
Anyway, result...
Straight after:
was allowed to be escorted back to Max's where i had been working on a dturbo all day, literally 5 miuntes round the corner, will attempt to sort something tomorrow.
A few more:
And the remains:
The first hit i've ever had, very shaken up as was misstap, just a war wound for the challenge car

Sucks man, deers are f*cking scary when they run out in the road, its literally one of my worst nightmares particularly on the road I use to get to work...
Doesnt look too bad on the car front however, the actual chassis looks ok from those pics. Im sure someonell have a replacement bumper to donate to keep the challenge car alive!

Ah ok. It's f*cking freaking when you hit wildlife.
I almost took at a dear in my car, but out braked him a manage to miss him.
Biggest thing I have hit was a badger in my old megane. Took out both passenger side doors, front wing and head light.

As I said last night, it's probably not as bad as you think. Go and have a look today in the day light and see what you need. Sure you can bodge a few parts back together!
