Never mind hitting animals in cars try hitting a pigeon at 70 on a bike.Now that hurts !!

bengei. i flipped a fiesta 1.3 end over end, trying to mis a deer. never guna brake for anything smaller than a hourse or cow.

torosuppe. in all to repair my car cost £200. did all the work my self. and got a mate who owns a spray shop, to do all the spraying.

we got hit in a previous car a Corsa {not chavved} by a dog when doing no more than rolling as coming up to lights, the dog {i was the size of an elephant!!} ran into the wing, it buckled the wing so it required a new one, damaged the alloy, then ran off back to where it lived, luckily the owner came out and ended up paying for the repair via our insurance, but we couldn't believe the damage such an impact could do.

I feel for you mate, but the main thing is that you are ok the car can always be repaired.
