Arsehole of a Badger !
Driving down some backroads tonite, noticed a farm sign saying "mud on roads" so i drove ahead with caution.
Approaching a right hand bend with a hegde on each side and a banking to the left and then...
A fucking arsehole of a bastard BADGER ran outta the hedge,
so i kinda swerved round it (cos it would've wrote off my car as it's real low at the front) then found myself sliding (due to cock sucking farmer shit on the road) heading for the hedge with the banking, applyed a very sharpe right turn and a small application of the handbrake, back end glanced off a stump and then i managed to traverse across to the other side of the road and into the hedge. If i wasn't paying as much attention i'd have gone straight down the banking !
Fortunatly no real damage to the front, but a nice dent in the rear quarter, not too bad, i managed to pull it round enuff to "glance" off the stump to it's more of a scrape.
And before you say, i was only doing 42mph
And to take the piss when i reversed out it pulled a large section of banking out that got caught under my splitter so i had to spend about 15 mins clearing shitt off the road !
beware of fecking badgers !

lol...glad you and the car are ok mate.
sure all of us have been in similiar situations...with cats n dogs (and sheep! :oops: lol) and they are dangerous little b*stards as they can just come out of no where...
my mate recently had a similiar situation with a cat but unfortunately he ran it over...
they are unpredictable.
anyways get the car repaired already

lol you dont want to run over one! I was driving one night and going quite quickly, went round a corner and there was one already dead in the middle of the road. Couldnt see it till too late and i was going too fast to swerve so i just braced myself and BUMP. Car nearly took off, immediate thought was that id jus buckled one of my alloys :evil: .
Luckily i didnt and i went back and pushed it off the road.

i know, it was a big bastard, well reckon it would have wrote me off if i hit it, just liucky i managed to avoid going thru the hedge and down the banking as i cud've killed myself
took the bumper off today n put it back on cos it was all wonky, and it's reet from the front end, just the bash in the rear side is part of the rear arch :-(

gitted for you mate, :( i bet that b**tard badger didnt have insurance!! :lol:
-
never swerve for animals unless really big... cows/deer/sheep etc...
badgers you can just plow down... just keep it floored... don't brake or you dive the front end down..
i hit a badger in my 2.0... i cracked the bumper... deffo cheaper than a rear 1/4
