Do I get an extra point for a large seagull that now has to walk, hit one today head on, it did a triple falco right over the roof and limped to the verge, again no damage :shock: :!: :!: :!: :?: :?:

I bet my bolluxed Gull was worth more than your limping one Skippy. Mine was sliced nearly in half and I was going fast enough for the blood and snot to miss my motor except for a little on the aerial itself.

Bet my gull was bigger than your gull too! (Well if you put both bits of mine back together again.) :badgrin: :badgrin:

I hit a gull at speed, both it and me. It hit the roof of the cab with a huge dunt above the windscreen, I thought it must have at least dented the car. I kept looking in the mirror to see where it landed, it seemed like ages before it came down, it fell like a dropped bag o chips. When I stopped the roof sign was well squint.

Got another two in one go. Coming along a road the mother was chucking up to feed the young, she scarperd and each of the young ran both ways, one for each front tyre. The sky immediatly filled with thousands of them after that, like they knew what just happened, weird and freaky!

I don't like hitting animals or birds, these things happen.

I started a roadkill bingo game on MSN back in the early days of the interwebs where we had a points system for anything we'd accidentally hit. A Blackpool cabbie was romping home after bagging an antelope that had escaped from a farm Over Wyre until some sod in Devon scored an unbeatable (confirmed by the Daily Mail no less) hit by taking out an endangered tortoise that had run (I use the term loosely) from a zoo in the South-West.

Personally, I've only ever hit foxes, seagulls and assorted other flying vermin, though I was a passenger in a cab in Slough that took out one of their native wild parrots (Google them, it's a long story) and cracked his windscreen.

Funniest thing I ever saw was an E7 pull onto the infamous fruit rank in Blackpool with an otherwise healthy seagull stuck fast to the front grill. As soon as he stopped the vacuum must have broken and it flew off, depositing a monster bird-turd on his roof as it went.
