Its really daft however, but no offensive in anyway, unles you find badgers, mushrooms and snakes! offensive. |

Rodd,
It's true! They have no road sense at all.
We have some signs in country areas (where I live), that say things like:
beware badgers for 3 miles
And you won't see one for 6 months, then BANG.
I don't think you have them that side of the pond. Do you?
Cheers, |

Sure we do. Wisconsin is the Badger State. Michigan is the Wolverine State (which I ithink is a close cousin of the badger). |

I beg to differ,
Wolverines are canines, I think.
European Badgers are Mustelidae
American badger are Taxidea
So I suppose (guess) they are different.
Cheers :) |

No it doesn't. It goes bang clatter clatter, and all lower spoiler and transmission casing fall off and get run over by the rear wheels.
I could have bought a pair of good quality outputtransformers for that.....
******!
PS. I stopped, and amazingly, couldn't find the beast. Just all my (expensive) German car parts in splinters...... |

or their kin, but I would gladly hit one of them over a deer - of which we are being totally overrun here in the eastern part of the States. Even deep into the city, the deer are everywhere. Even into the 'hood. Recently two deer busted into a McDonalds on New York Ave NE here in Washington DC. This is an urban decay area where the drug dealers don't always feel safe - so when the crime scene tape was all wrapped around the building I thought it was a shooting. Turned out the deer charged into the building with several people becoming injured trying to escape the deer's horns.
It turns out that there are now more deer in the US than when the first Europeans came to the New World - and they are eating folk's yards, particuarly in the winter when forage is short. I have a friend who suffered more than $10,000 worth of damage to his yard! Me, I would have venison in my freezer as a result. |
