Bahahaa ran over an echidna in a hire Territory at 130km, drove to melbourne, was fun changing tyres in the middle of Gladstone Park :)

I hit a roo in my "Laser" (get the inverted comma's? Think Dr Evil!).

 

I was driving from Sydney to Adelaide with my brother, we were playing the alphabet game (a apple, b banana etc., etc.,) and it was my turn, I was on "O" I was doing 130klm the roo jumped out of no where, well out of the bushes on the side of the road) one hop and it was in front of me, I said "O F*ck!" my brother said "that doesn't count!!! - thinking of the game) and smack! hit the roo, it sort of half moved towards the front windscreen with one big eye looking straight at me then the impact flung it forward. I then ran it over. The whole trip my brother had said "what do you do if you see a roo? Nothing! you've got comprehensive insurance!!! mwaahaa mwahhaaa"

 

Tried to flag down a few cars and the bastards wouldn't stop. Managed to limp into the next town (about 400 meters around the corner - thank goodness!) the mechanic put engine stop leak in the radiator, his dog licked off roo bits, he taped up my bumper and I drove the rest of the way to Adelaide like that (about 5 hours) I then drove the car like that for about 3 weeks!!!

 

HMMM happy trip :)

roo-0 steve-3 managed to hit this one with the tray of the ute! although friend was driving my loaner and hit one, did a little damage but I'm not counting that cos it wasnt me driving

[Rolla__Boy]

You wont be able to drive the corolla in and out of there even if you do make it standard height....A Corolla wont stand up to too many roo hits
