Three times is the charm - Ice crashed again - We have winners from Doodle!

I hear there was a low-flying pelican as well.

But it was hiding in the attic the entire time.

Because of Parkinson's?

 

[Blind_Io]

I heard Parkinson's was unearthed from a shallow grave by construction workers.

All we know is that Ice has an American cousin - who has much better taste in cars, but even worse luck with deer and crashing.

Did Parkinsons narrowly escape death in 2006 in a terrifying high-speed jet-car crash because of Parkinsons?

speaking of deer, I had a close encounter yesterday, it ran across the road maybe 20 meters in front of me!
Not one, but two! good thing I wasn't going faster and had my high beam's on, i just saw the silhouette! Scarry! Dumb ass animals!!

(It's tuesday, where are the pics? )

His camera tried to avoid a deer and crashed too?

The closest I've come to deer on the roads is a sign saying there are deer in the road, with no deer in the road.

Still, I did nearly have a 599 GTB pull out of the Rockingham Speedway in front of me. He realised it was a bad idea though. I reckon I could've ramped it.

I've nearly had a close encounter with a deer myself a couple years ago.
My technique was different than Ice's :

Ice : swerve, ramp, crash
NooD : brake hard, honk horn, stop

 

[bone]

a deer? in belgium? you sure it wasn't a dog or sth?

 

[NooDle]

nope, a deer, a female deer infact.
I think it was quite a big one actually, about 70 kgs

FYI the ABS tyre marks are still there... I'll PM you the GPS coordinates if you don't believe me

I hit a deer a few years ago... Messy..

I was out on a highway at night and saw one of the road reflectors "blink". Living in the mountains, when a reflector seems to disappear or blink on and off, you know that an animal is crossing between you and the reflector post. I got on the brakes, HARD. I didn't wait to see the animal in the headlights, I just stood on it.

I brought the car up just short of about 4 deer in the road, I could just make them out in my headlights. Had I not gotten on the brakes, I'm sure I would have ended up with about 1,000 lb of venison crashing through my Honda's windscreen and right into my lap.

Delicious! It's hard to get that kind of service nowadays.

I lurk.

 

[DanRoM]

My closest encounter with a deer was "Oh sweet, a deer!" *look_bewildered* "OH SHIT a second one!!" *brake_hard*
I missed it just barely, I can't say if it was 1 cm, 10 or maybe 30...

 

[Posmo]

I lurk.

How's the Lotus getting along?
