And it looks like it was a rental car (sticker on back window). Imagine limping back to the rental agency - "I did pay extra to get rid of the insurance excess, didn't I?"
Most people content themselves with launching rental cars off speed humps...Cheers, Craig

Reminds me of the time I was travelling (not that fast) and hit a galah. It took off the drivers side weather shield and hit the door pillar ar.se pointed in.
I copped the load in the right ear and the bird finished up on the rear seat. :mad:

A couple of years ago a young Bloke was killed by a swan during our annual bridge to bridge ski race, apparently neither would have known a thing.
Deja Vu imagine straight country road early morning 250+kph on a Suzuki 1100 head down bum up top of fourth about to shift into top (290+ top speed) and a farm goose half flys onto the road about 150 meters ahead, at 250 you cover 4.1 ks a minute or 70 metres a second, I really love sticky bridgestone bike tyres and geese that zag and don't zig.
