Driving home from work 6pm rounded a bend on an unlit duel carriageway to find a herd of sheep running towards me being herded on by a farmer as they'd escaped from a field. Ploughed straight through middle of them killing a few outright and damaging my car to ****.

Police reckon I have to claim off farmers Public Liability insurance. Bloody hope so and glad I weren't on the Tuono at the time.:bawling
 
man ahm gutted, so many cut aff in thir prime.

No waurs the mint sauce an rubber gloves
 
should have stuck your leg out the door and got UGG Boots for free :)
 
No doubt Bay tried a few on for size while they were still warm!

Hope you get your car sorted mate.
 
Hope Ewe are alright, it was just BAAd luck.
Good luck with the insurance claim mate.
 
ewe floppy **** bay, ewe would have thought where ewe come from, ewe can tell when the sheep are coming..............


i mean ,, dont their eyes even glaze over or something ?
 
ah should ken the answer ta ethat yin but thir usually wearin the gimp mask wi me!
 
Oh here we go all the sheep jokes now eh. But I guess EWE shouldn't cry over spilt milk. When I got out of the car and had to explain to the traffic copper what had happened I felt a little SHEEPISH but then again I MUTTON grumble as the car can be repaired.
 
Aye wi didnae pull the wool ower yer eyes did wi B min
 
Being welsh im sure you would've known a gang of sheep is a flock,not a friggin herd , you spent half your life embeded in the ******* things...
 
Sacriledge. U don't need mint sauce with welsh lamb. Its tender as **** and tasty as due to all the pounding ;)
 
Thanks guys... I near died feckin' laughing after having read this thread. The wife thought that I had lost it, so I had her read it. Never cracked a smile. So I read it again, and only 20 minutes later I have finally regained enough control of my bladder and wiped the tears from my eyes so that I can type my thank you...

Thank you.
 
Right just an update as I know you are all so worried about my car. Just had quote from Garage for the damage. £512 labour, £394.04 for paint. Thats nearly £1000 pounds before we look at parts. Now the parts list
Front Bumper
Lower Spoiler
Bumper Grilles
N/S fog lamp and bezel
Lower spoiler
Brackets
Fixing Clips
N/S front wing
Arch liner clips
Bonnet
N/S head lamp
Front Grille.

Now by my reckoning that got to be at least a £1000 worth of kit. Just a headlamp is £100, front bumber £250 (those prices are off ebay). Half a mind to just get the money from the insurance company and take it elsewhere.
 
Despite the frivolity, I truly am sorry you are being put through this. As someone who has dealt with animal strike, I can only say, be patient, and don't settle for the first offer. Good luck.
 
Fella its a car and I aint too worried about it. I really like my bike but if it got nicked and I never saw it again I'd get the money back and buy another one. Thats life. They're only metal. At least no one was hurt
