few weeks ago on the way to work i had a little run in with a fox (bastard!) well he managed to make a nice mess of the front bumper and left arch and side skirt. i carried on driving after the hit and run till i went round a round about when i heard a loud rubbing noise so i pulled over got out, the car had the worst smell there was blood all up the front of the car and the front valance was hanging on by one screw under the bonnet and was resting on the wheels, the left front arch was peeled back next to the wing mirror and the side skirt was snapped down the middle, so i had to rip off the arch and stick it on my rear seat. grr . well i managed to drive 15 miles to work like this and 30 home and all i can say is well i hate foxes!!!

A lesson to be learnt

DONT HIT FOXES!
