    Default Rasinfrasin - slightly OT

    Okay, I am sure I will get some sympathy here...
    1995 BMW 525i

    Dec 2005 - hit my first deer after driving for 28 some years... No big deal, get a new head light assembly, never even claimed it....

    Feb 2006 - get rear ended, no big deal, car is slightly damaged ($600), had the dealer fix it, nothing out of my pocket and have a repainted bumper now...

    Tonight - get a call from my wife, she hit a deer. What really hurts is she was driving MY CAR!!!! Can you say - THIS SUCKS (yea yea she is fine, at the moment ...) Bumper, hood and fender damage....

    I can't believe it...

    On the bright side, I may have the front end of the car fully repainted?

    "Ginger" is in the shop right now getting a new coat on her left side, and pulling out the door sill. Rigmaster had a door that bolted right up.

    Good luck getting the deer damage undone!

    I gather from a few similar posts that hitting deer on your roads is akin to us hitting kangaroos, wallabies and wombats.

    In Oz we have "Roo bars" or Bull bars":

    Here is my dirty, insect spattered bull bar on my F 250.

    Perhaps some-one should make deer bars for your E34s - here in Oz you can even get them made out of plastic or, of course, aluminium.

    Sorry once more for the picture (camera-phone) quality.

    Edit : BTW - Gayle - you kept wanting to see a picture of my Effie - here it is !
