DodgyRog Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Me and the misses have been out in the Supe today and went upto Bournmouth and Southampton area. Had a lovely drive around, first time in what seems like a long time. Only to have it spoilt by an indecisive squirrel:( Well I was happily zipping along a nice open road at fairly high leptons, when all of a sudden an indecisive squirrel decides to run out in front of me. He saw me coming and seemed to decide to try and go back to where he came from, but then obviously relised I wasn't hanging around, so turned back and started to go back the other way again, only to look back at me again and think maybe the other way might be a better option. I think then he may of misjudged how low the front of my Supe was, maybe mistaking it in the split second for a standard Supra front bumper, as he seemed to decide that the duck and hope method was the best option. I think this might of been the wrong choice for the indecisive squirrel, as I now have a reddish/brown mark on my front bumper and some extra tread depth on my tyres. So to all indecisive squirrels out there, just make up your mind and go for it, holding your ankles is no way to save your nuts;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The description of the little furry one made me laugh, Did it damage the splitter at all. I also think our club artist needs to draw up a diagram of said accident. Ed get to work buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just got to wash it again now:search: Glad it made you smile, that was really the point:D And yes I agree, get on it Ed Although it makes me sad for the outcome of the indecisive squirrel, I am hopping others may learn from this and make their decisions and stick to them:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definately lucky on the damage, luckily although my bumper is a copy, it was built very solidly and not one of the usual thin fibreglasss one's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
