Not getting into this one being a bunny fan/owner/defender. Had to stop very abruptly this morning for two baby ones who didnt know the difference between road and field yet !
Hope your car's all shiny for the show though, Frontal...

Sorry Richard but I'd have been more worried about the poor wee bunny EVEN if it was Daisy :clown: Hope the bumper gets fixed ok.

Trust me there is an abundance of bunnies up as there are no natural preditors for them. You don't need an air rifle up here you need a tommy gun.

Bad luck for you and the rabbit, I hope it was a clean kill.

Surprising that a rabbit can do so much damage.

if you think a ikle bunny can do a lot of damage try hitting a seagull at 70 mph i hit one a couple of years ago and it totaly destroyed the nice shiney front grille of my car and made a lot of noise as it bounced off the floor pan on the way under me car :evil:

What is it about Seagulls & classic minis? I hit on last year - square in the middle of the grill - wrecked the grill and found feathers in the engine bay for months afterwards! At least a new grill is just 20 quid

Sorry to hear about your flopsy related incident Richard :disapprove: Hope you manage to get it fixed up soon.

On the way to work this morning I had to avoid 2 pheasants, 2 baby rabbits and (best of all) a sheep and two bloomin' lambs :eek: Aye, it ain't all fun living in the country ;)

Richard, This looks suspiciously like it wasn't a Rabbit, but much more likely that Robot from Oxford.:eek::D

Stick it in the pot!:p I have to mostly avoid all the usual wildlife going to work as well. The other day I passed a deer, but all there was to it was the head, skin and legs, the entire carcas had gone, proberbly in someones freezer:p
