Not my car, some miner hit Skip (approx. 8ft(standing upright) and my guess 80kg) the biggest dead red I've seen up here.
The car is parked within 40m of the roo
Did he back into it as well. Don't go showing dead roo's to the poms you know how they get. :D
when I was a young fella I sold video's all over outback QLD in one of those big commercial vans maybe a commuter. One night I was slip streaming behind a road train chatting on the radio when boom! A big red punched a hole through the front. Took out the heater box and left a gaping hole for the winter desert air to envelop me. Ended up propping up the engine cover with a stick to get some warmth.
Two hours later I pulled into Rocky at a roadhouse just when a bus load of Japanese tourists were out stretching their legs. One came towards me gesturing to others and pointing at the front of the van. When I walked around for a look it seemed that some of the kangaroo was still attached along with lots of blood and bits of fur sticking out of places. So for the next ten minutes I posed next to the damage in my Akubra hat trying really hard to look like crocodile Dundee XD
Don't ever try to go selling holidays down under to Poms you two - we prefer our Mr Red Roos happy, bouncing, and in one piece - if it wouldn't be too much trouble, of course.
Yubbs, I cannot believe you stopped to take photos - some days I really struggle to believe we are actually related. Shakes head sadly.
Oz only fairs slightly better in this one by want of a funny story (though not funny for Mr Red Roo) and looking cute in an Akubra hat.
But not much better. :P
Good story Oz. I remember a trip to Isa (Mt Isa) I hit a bird, when I stopped for fuel 300ks later I removed the little guy from the grill and put him in the bin at the servo.
Hey sis I haven't killed a too yet. Only Oz has, and has he killed more?
Oz, in regards to your query. I thought the too had gone over the car and damaged the rear?
Winnie I was going to take a dozen photos today, now that red is a sea of colours spread over 5 meters after being hit again last night.
Yubby, now that is just gross!! I might have had to tell mum and dad if you'd posted that one. :(
Note to self. Make appointment for DNA test ...
Hey I didn't take the photo.
Too much traffic. ;D
In America, I believe they are encouraged to take their road kill home and eat it?
That's not good outback decorum and dangerous.Quote:
