Supra vs Cat

Well totally gutted was on my way to my first team beard meet this evening cursing along car going well came round a corner and a cat ran across the road, saw it and slowed down to about 40 as i thought it might run back over, didn't look like it was going to then at the very last minute it comes flying out straight in front of me! Nothing i could do, cars coming the other way and car RIGHT behind me. Snapped half of my RMM style lip right off also ripped the bulb right out of the indicator. :( Totally gutted! Turned round as soon as i could and went back, cat was gone but im pretty sure it couldn't have survived...all that was left of my lip was shards of fiberglass...

Could have been worse though, thank goodness it wasn't something bigger as it could have sent me into the oncoming car or ditch!

 

Looks like my other plans for the car may have to be put off. On the plus side think i might now go for a Ridox style front as i have always liked them anyway. Not quite decided between that and just a direct replacement but think i will probably go for ridox as its something different. Pics to follow...

The cat wil probably have legged it on shock and then collapsed somewhere nearby.

 

I saw this near my old house where a car gave a cat a right thump. The cat ran about 30 yards and then died in a heap. Sad.

I think this is what happened. I had my gf in the car at the time as well, gave her quite a fright. Luckily everyone is okay. Poor cat but there really was nothing i could do...was not risking swerving to avoid it.

This has reminded me of an incident where I swerved to avoid a cat on Wigan Lane, Wigan. I swerved and then changed my mind and ended up sideways in the middle of the road. It ended up that I slid sideways over the cat and he rolled over a couple of times and was right as rain. I got out of the car and wondered if it was going to attack me as it seemed a little agitated..!!

A fox shattered my genuine HKS carbon fibre lip! Barsteward. However this evening a big grey fluffy cat got splatted by the front of my 1800 Diesel fiesta snotter. I could have swerved, or stamped on the brakes, if I'd seen it before I was so close I could see the look of "Oh sh!t" in its eyes. Oh well. I'll be sure to call the people who are inevitably going to put a flyer through my door in a few days time asking if I've seen their missing cat, and tell them that I saw my next door neighbour (who happens to be a total div) aim for it with his Audi! :)
