shn7 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Wouldn't use Fairy Liquid. Always ben told it contains salt and damages paint finishes. Decent car shampoo (and perhaps a blue rinse) should do it. 😬 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Field Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I did the same thing with a dead badger, getting airborne at about 90 . I left the underside of the car until the crud had dried and/or been washed off by the elements, but the annual service that year was not the most pleasant experience . Go for the jetwash and quick Terry Q783 OOR. Team Lotus colours with flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 Wow what a lot of mess it made *mad* It managed to rip of my the bracket that holds the oil feed from my dry sump tank, and pushed the pipe right into the bellhousing, oh and hair everywhere, still rather it wnt underneath the car than over it 😬 Founder Member of The Twisted Prop Club.

thinfourth Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The sick bunny story One day while driving along one day in my fathers pickup with a big beefy nudge bar. On this particular day i encounter Mr Bugs standing in the middle of the road. Bugs was frosen in the headlightsbut Mr Bugs in this case was speacil he was smarter then the average bunny. He sees the headlights baring down on him and going through his little bunny mind were as follows. Oh no i am going to die, But no i want to live i want run around and do bunny type things. but how do i get out of this situation as a rabbit what am i good at. Having sex, fun but no use here eating carrots nope Ah jumping bunnys are good at jumping, i'll jump over this thing with the huge lights. So the brave bunny waited and tensed himself and at the last moment he jumps Sadly for our hero bunny he misjudged and scored a direct hit on the bull bar and exploded. There was bunny bits everywhere even bits of bunny guts round the cooling pipes in the engine bay. member of the club because of blatchat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 If it's caked on then a steam cleaner, brush and normal hose will be best as jet washes will just flatten the fins in your rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrent Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Nearly had the radiator on the tin-top pierced by the rather large and sharp looking antlers of a deer on the journey home last night. Buzzed him in the dark at around on the local rally stage (gated road) at around 70mph. Luckily he legged it in the other direction, otherwise ....... ouch!!! This is in rural oxforshire, loads of huge Deer running around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I hit a fox several years ago (pictures here: http://www.strangely.org/diary/200103/index.html#fox) and I still occasionally find another bit stuck to the underside of the car. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
