after stopping l put the torch back where the roo was lying, not very far probably less than 10 meters away and the roo was kicking around on the ground, l wanted to go and put a bullet into him but didn't as in the dark he looked huge and l thought "l'll go over and he will jump up and kick my guts out" but he was dead on the side of the road when l went past on the way home,
l did think about the "this is number 2 now whats going to be #3"
your right Tassie if it had been the pig l hit it would have been worse, one thing l did see though was that the car panels crumpled instead of bending the chassis because of there design, it was easy to straighten out and put back together, the chassis did not move at all, l have always thought cars are not made right anymore and called them tinny but it was a hell of a lot easier to repair than other cars l have done that are a more solid build, it took half a day playing at the wreckers and a day of swapping over parts to fix it and cost under $400, the only new part l had to buy was the headlight support panel thats included in the price
"slippery second hand car parts dealers" you can say that again Grandad, l ended up emailing the firm as they are a big 3 yard firm and got a reply from the general manager who gave an explanation that the staff had to charge like that because it would take too long to delete the extras off the system and would cause problems by sending people down to the cars not being able to find the part
l also asked him if he sold doors complete or did a customer have to pay extra for the trim ect...
he replied "no you get the whole door complete for the price and do not have to pay for every little thing on the door"
l sent him another email and told him the doors have moulding as well
l did respect him taking the time to email me with a BS excuse
l've got Italian spicy flavour for the sausage Grandad and will be making roasts, spare ribs, some pickled pork
but l do not have a clue how to make bacon
