Ram raid
Well today I was travelling over Muggleswick Common in Weardale with the caravan in tow, suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a group of delinquent Sheep running through the heather towards the road, unfortunately with the caravan been on and a sheer drop to my left I had no option but to slow down steadily, sadly for the lead Sheep this was not suffice, and it ploughed head first into my driver's side wing.....
Well I pulled up, looked back at the body on the side of the road, and assessed the damage..... thankfully I have a spare bumper and wing. Was the sheep dead? quite frankly I did not care..... Miles from anywhere, no one to report to, and I am certainly not in a position to deal with Sheep... plus had I gone back to find it OK ....I would probably have killed it for the damage it caused

A perfect case for paintless dent removal! I would have been gutted (he said sheepishly)!

Obviously a well cared for motor.
Bumper looks okay from that angle. ? Wing not so good and that will not come out.! If that was me i would have claimed the dead sheep as 'Road Kill'..Perfectly legal. Fresh Lamb for a month.!! To make up for the damage??

Why not state this in your original post, would have saved me from posting.
Sorry, but this sort of attitude really ticks me off. |
