Damned Pigeons

[papa_lazaroo]

Hit a pidgeon this morning at 90mph, erm sorry, Typo, I meant 70 officer.

Any way, my lovely black grill exploded at the same time as the pigeon did too.:cry:

Are they easy to source, or are MKII grills like rocking horse s~~t ?

[Craig]

damn thats bad news mate, I got one from ebay for 25 quid, at the time there were a few, but i have seen them go for up to 70 quid before. I got mine in ty, I think it was cheap as there arent too many mk2 zs's

My Sergeant did that at work the other day on the way to a fatal accident, I didn't realise until I went to sit a distraught woman who thought she was responsible for the accident in my car. I walked her round the front of my Sgts car and saw it was covered in blood which had run all up the bonnet and over the wing mirrors, whoops!

[Stuart]

Could be worse mate!

I did the same thing but it was a fox i hit, i was also doing "70" luckily i was in my work van, made a right mess, cracked the bumper/fog light and went up underneath and smashed the washer bottle and other bits, the worst bit was all the blood and guts under the bonnet! :sick:

Hit a few other poor creatures whilst train driving. Swans (has to be reported HM owned) pigeons, deer & people..........quite a mess at 110mph & 800 ton behind you!!! :huh:

That one sold for £120 last week. either the buyer has more than one or theres some shill bidding going on.

I got my mk2 grill form a breakers for a tenner. Bargain :D

We have about 1 fatality per month (persons that is) & numerous pigeons per day!!!. £3k compensation for fatalities!!!!!!! One of drivers has had 3!!! :wall:

[garys123]

that has got to be really scary. They did not base that film on that guy did they. Were if you have 3 fatality he got paid off i think or something like that. I cant remember the film im pretty sure it was out this year.

[mrt_04]

Yeah, it was about an Underground driver (toy railway!!!, not like our big toys) !!!! :cool2:

[R8NMG]

I have seen an owl (dead) :yucky: stuck on the windscreen of a train when the train was stationed.

[mrt_04]

All sorts of nasties have hit trains.
If I am called out after a fatality, always try to park the train up near to the techs messroom, so the heat of the traction motors gently cooks the flesh...............lovely hummmmmmm then!!!!!!!!!!! :chair:

[papa_lazaroo]

Got a grill, in black (few small scratches) but looks 99% decent, fitted it tonight.
The beast looks gorgeous again
