MrWill Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I hope I'm wrong but that sounded like contact (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@ndy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That’s bad luck but I would have braked as soon as I saw the first one appear. That impact definitely sounded significant, how much damage has it done ? The good news your ok, could have been worse head on in a Lotus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWill Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Bambi's fine but the Europa fell apart seconds after the camera stopped and Stephen is still walking home as we speak.. In the rain......maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanteryu Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 i am braking from 75 to 40 mph all during that clip, @ndy. It's only like 4 secs but felt more like 10 at the time. the headlight sheared off it's silly plastic posts, this happens anyways on the drivers side headlight on Europas, so i applied the same fix (big rubber washers and self tappers),but there is permanent damage to the front clam, a crack in the glass fibre at the very apex of the wheel arch. i've bonded an aluminium plate inside the wheel arch to stop the crack propagating. I turned around straight away, but no sign of the errant creature.... lucky i didnt swerve, there is that other car coming. could have been a lot worse! want to see before n after pics?
