Ot- Ducks!!!!!!
 

I have never hit any animals in anything i ever drove, but damn i got close today. It was getting dusky( right b4 the sun goes down?) i was goin down the road and a whole flock of ducks decides to just walk out in front of me. SLAMMED my brakes, bad rotors and all(but not for long thanks to Race Concepts ) and came to a stop no lie 5 feet away from the damn things. Then, THEY WOULDNT MOVE!!!

I like duck! Taste just like chicken - oooooops :rolleyes: :o

re: deer and headlight syndrome?
 

hmm...sounds like deer and headlights syndrome?

maybe they thought you were the 'duck god'

then again i guess there's that insurance commercial with the squirrel jumping out and causing an accident then high-fiving another squirrel.

:D

Then there is the insurance company that has the goose that walks around and says "Am????k" Let's see, what is that company again? Gee, I just can't seem to think of it! :rolleyes: :D

**** Possum****
 

This post uncovers in my mind a recent sad and tragic accident we had down under.

We HAD a world ranking champion rally driver " Possum " Bourne in point of fact he was the best in the southern hemisphere . He drove for SUBARU. He was killed a couple of weeks ago while driving down a hill climb course in a Subaru Forester the local agents had made available for his personal use. The course was being checked by those competing prior to the actual event and a Jeep SUV coming up the road collided with his Forester. There is a police enquiry but all indications are that he was in no way at fault and was travelling within the speed limit. The event was world class and attended by drivers from all over including Japan.

Now I come to the point.----- He got his nick name, which was used universally, I and most others are not aware of his true Christian name, because while in his teens and driving his mothers car, he rolled the car as a result of dodging a possum !

He was rated as a very nice guy and was extremely popular. Thousands attended his funeral which was linked by TV to two venues in both our North and South Islands and was covered by the national TV network. He left a family of two children. All very sad.

Sorry for the gloom but I thought it appropriate as a result of this reminder to now record something I should have covered much earlier. Trevor.
