RX8 vs wildlife - 0/0 draw
 

So I've been an owner of a nice 04 plate rx8 for about the past month - I live in the shetland islands which has quite a lot of agriculture, and to make a long story short yesterday I hit a particularly fat lamb and did this:

Really quite pissed off, but came here to try to get advice on costs for fixing this as well as general maintenance stuff :)

Nice little pre-wildlife photo:

Did you at least have lamb chops for dinner?:)

MGB? I have one too :lol:

I don't know much about autobody but it looks fixable you might need to remove the bird form the oil cooler first tho

'Friad not, actually the farmer was pretty pissed about the whole thing - he should sort out his fences so there aren't sheep on the road but there we go... :rolleyes:

Ha yeah, didn't even notice the bird beforehand - maybe it was riding around on the sheep's back :P
The MGB needs a bit of work, it's basically mechanically sound but sounds like a tractor, I haven't had a chance to get it in the garage yet and find out just what's wrong with it.

I'm taking the RX8 away to a friend's body shop tomorrow - so at least the labor rate won't be too bad. Given what they cost second hand in the UK though (Bought this one having just had a full new exhaust and, upgraded starter motor etc for £3k/$4.5k) the cost of new body panels particularly from mazda themselves is just frightening!

Thats because it has a tractor engine in it :rofl: or rather the tractor has the B's engine in it

riwwp that would nsfw for slvr

The Sheep Tornado, that's a classic.

LMFAO :rofl:

But, to the OP... dang that sucks. I hope you get it fixed.
It doesn't look too bad though, I'm sure the body shop could repair that.

new zealand lamb- shits delicious

I never eaten lamb before...lol

I have :suspect:

pics of the lamb in question?
