Bloody roos
May. 10th, 2008 04:43 amI'm home, I'm tired. My passengers are OK - I got them home. The car's not toooooo bad - lost the lower bit of the bumper and is noisy at speed with flapping plastic bits, but no mechanical or body damage.
The roo's a write off.
Not sure how the day driver will react to finding half the front bumper in the boot.
Bloody thing just jumped straight onto the road out of the scrub a couple of metres ahead of me. Luckily it went under the car, not up over the bonnet. I have nightmares about roos coming through vthe windscreen and thrashing about in the front seat.
Never hit a roo in all the years, decades I've been driving. Since becoming a night cabbie eighteen months ago, I've hit two and scared many more. The problem is that they have no road sense and no natural predators.
Bloody roos.
