Catch the Pheasant!
Pants On Fire - 14/10/06 at 05:31 PM

I took Friday off work and had the use of a neighbours workshop, between us we stripped the front suspension, replaced all the ball joints and set the car up on his geometry set.

Finished it this morning with a new set of tyres and a wash.

So out hooning this afternoon through the lovely West Berks countryside and the car is handling sweeter than ever then WHAM! A large 8 lb 4 oz cock pheasant meets the front of the car.

I was covered in blood and feathers so was the car, I looked a real sight as I pottered back home through a local high street on a busy Saturday afternoon, parents and kids pointing in disgust.

New grille fitted and the old MK badge reshaped and its all back to normal plus the added bonus of a pheasant to hang for Christmas!

Must get out again tomorrow for a Turkey.

This has brought back some memories.

Just after I passed my test the old man bought a Citroen 2cv for me. (that car teaches you how to drive!). Stuck halogens on it and went out 'lamping' on the country roads. Target spotted my mates stood up in the back and shot the buggers. Moon roofs, don't get those fitted on modern cars.

Road kill and mushrooms best free food you can get.

PS Sheep/deer make a bloody mess, tasty none the less.

It was brought in to stop people hitting the king's deer on purpose and then taking it home for dinner.
