Its madness the amount of accidents up here due to deer. Ive been lucky enough not to hit one in any of my own cars (Touch wood ) but several of my friends have either hit one, or swerved to avoid one and crashing

Best (or maybe worst) one ive seen is an artic hiting (same corner again), it fucking vapourised, honestly, there was nothing left of it, just a dirty red patch on the road

Stupid wildlife, no doubt with the sense of councils they would judt lower the speed limit rather than erect a deer fence.

Yeah they tend to rotate on impact. Happened once in the Corsa, Hit it front on, it span round the side and bashed the rear quarter.

Had a few deer incident cars at work before, not good when ur the apprentice though and have to pressure wash the rotting flesh out!
even worse the my old boss was in a car when it collided with the rear of a horse, both rear legs came off and blood was everywhere, needless to say the horse was shot and the car a right off.

unlucky about the crash, very.
But let's not get silly now, eh lads? The 106's gearbox wouldn't even make it to the deer.

I really wouldnt worry about the gearbox, i realised how flimsy they really are when I removed the headlining from the XSI, buckled the roof removing it Must only be 2mm thick steel on the roof

to be fair the corsa's roof is also quite flimsy. Most small hatchbacks like it are. You put your hand on it and push and it will flex

Ouch very nasty!
So if it never died on impact, did the poor thing die in agony

The body shop next to where I work had a two week old black Audi A3 turn up last year with some interesting adaptions including a couple of antler holes in the roof and atomised gut/flesh/bone/muscle/fur/etc upholstery, plus a big funking dent in roof and bonnet.
Needless to say, it was written off.
Two weeks old.
It was properly minging too.
How gutted would you be?
Not as ''gutted'' as the stag
