Oh Deer!

[anchorman]

I had these photos sent to me recently. They have done the rounds so some will have seen them but this is an astonishing example of just how much damage an animal can do to a car if you hit it hard enough. This BMW sports car has aparently hit a deer at 140 mph and it has entered through the tiny kidney shaped grill and lodged in the engine bay - under the plastic covers!. I would like to know more about whether the car was repaired or written off so if anybody knows please advise.

This is not a prank so if you cannot stand the sight of blood or love animals do not scroll down the page. You have been warned.............

deer, deer, what a mess.

Now, where's the saddle part for the fillet?? It's probably cooked to rare as I like it!

lucky for the deer it didnt suffer, that is gross.......imagine if it had hit a person at the same speed, n there was me thinking that german roads had maximum speed limits too (even the autobahns do now, don't they?) :(

I think some urban ones do and the others have a recommendation but it isn't enforced.

posted those pics in "first Impressions" a few days ago, messy stuff.

How the hell was there not more damage to the front of the car. Did it jump towards the car or something! That's got to be a young deer, as an adult would've done more damage and not got 'scooped' up.

For a living I own a light haulage company

about 10 years ago I had a job delivering truck parts to the army who were on exercise in Ullapool, they'd managed to snap some drawbar trailer eyes and the trailers were stuck on the beach I was about 30 miles away on some twisty road in June at 1am, it was that sort of 1/2 light, the sort where it's not really daylight but your headlights don't do much.

I was trying to get there ASAP so was giving the van a bit of welly, I came around a bend and there were about 5 or 6 deer stood in the road, I braked and swerved and amazingly I missed the lot, I slowed down the rest of the way, having seen that picture i'm glad I missed them, I wasn't doing 140 BTW, transit vans don't go that fast ;)

Worst bit was i'd done my best to get there as quick as possible, next morning I got a phone call asking where the :censor: parts were, the squaddie i'd given them to had put them on the back of a truck and hadn't told anyone they'd arrived

They do so and Astra vans do 160mph!!!
