#16: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: DJKaySee, Location: UK, England,NottinghamPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:01 pm ---- Good to hear your good and there's not much damage.
I guess that living in the city I don't have to worry about hitting crazed animals :-D, we do have chav's tho, but that's 50 points so it balances out .
#17: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:03 pm ---- Oh and I hit it at 35mph on a 60Mph road if anybody was wondering how I avoided a write off
#18: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:10 pm ---- On the plus side I have an excuse to change the front grill and replace the previousley scratched plastic grill piece :-/ always a silver lining, might get a bonnet bra to cover up the dint at FCS, anybody think it would look okay??
#19: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:21 pm ---- I wouldn't bother trying to cover it up for FCS.
Most of the cars there look nowhere near as good in real life as they do in online pics

I don't race around on the roads, it's a waste of time and it's dangerous , I couldn't help it if it jumped out infront of me and I was doing 40-50 in a national speed limit zone so that just proves I don't drive like a d**k and accidents happen to anyone, oh and it's a 1.2 corsa just to be pickey haha, and cheers ash I now feel so much better knowing I killed santas best raindeer :-/ , I'll upload pics later with my laptop because my iPhones crap haha

#35: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:22 am ---- Is that 'dear' as in old lady, or deer the animal?
Either way sad to hear of the incident.
#36: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:24 am ---- I cant imagine him being on here moaning about damage to his car if he'd just ran an old dear over
#37: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:41 am ---- Haha that was my bad I was running on that much adrenaline I spelt deer wrong :'-) and well I hit it at 35 probably less , I'm not sure it all happened so quick but I was doing 40-50 down the road before I saw the deer, steady driver trying to get good mpg (42mpg I achieved)
#38: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:46 am ---- Your lucky mate. Last person I know hit a deer wrote there car off.
#39: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: pro_steve, Location: BristolPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:02 am ---- Did you eat it? Venison is quite tasty...
#40: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:09 am ---- +1 for tasty venison.
It has a similar texture to beef but tastes like a very nice red wine.
Glad to hear your ok dude! Have you looked a getting a 2nd hand bonnet? Could
Possibly find one in your colour which will be cheaper than a re-spray?
#41: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: pro_steve, Location: BristolPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:17 am ---- My dad saw somebody hit a deer the other day, so he pulled over and picked it up and ate it. What a savage haha
#42: Re: Crashed my 180 tonight :-( Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:20 am ---- Nah I shot off to a safe spot to check my car out (feeling bad for the deer of course)
And well I thought about getting another bonnet but iv asked a few Bodyshop places in scunthorpe and Its £180 to do the bonnet and spray a new front grill to match, the front grille is £22 so £202 in total but for that price I have to wait until Monday after FCS :-/
