50/60mph impact, stag came out infront of me out of the bush at the side of the road, had no chance, lucky only cosmetic damage and air con will need replaced, nothing major to the engine bay. You can't see in that image the bumper is cracked on both sides with hair in it etc.

Oh deer, did you kill the stag? Poor car:(
Not sure, stag wasn't there when we went past later on last night (2 hours later) so it could have been removed by a farmer or something. Not sure to be honest.
LolScotland.
oh deer oh deer. i hope you didn't kill it and you're lucky it didn't cause too much damage.
Wow, they usually cause alot more damage :S Could of been worse, it could of been your Fiesta (if you still have it :P)
You're car seems pretty okay for a 60mph impact. How did the stag look after? Or does nobody else care about them?
:o why didn't you go back to see it straight after?
We almost hit one last year, mom's BF was driving the 745 and a deer jumped out, we missed the deer but he put the car off the road into the ditch. It's gunna suck because your insurance is gunna go up!
I lol'ed. What a shame about the crash.Quote:

Insurance wasn't effected as it's a common thing here and I am just paying for the damages as it's only costing just over £200 odd for repairs.
Honda cars do seem to be cheap to fix. £200 for repairs is very good :S A new boot costs just a bit more than that for a Civic!Quote:

So I got lucky really.
As for the A/C, they had one on the shelf, so again I got bloody lucky.
One word to sum this up: http://www.w3bbo.com/forums/owned/Owned-Car-Tree.jpg
Who said the insurance needs to find out? Haha! :lol:
It's an easy fix anyway, it shouldn't cos' too much to fix it back up.
An A/C compressor runs you around $550, plus installation. Mine was done under Honda warranty. It's in a very bad location because something could easily fly up and hit it. I have a lower grill now that protects it so it's cool now.Quote:
