Hunting Wabbits

Me head is hard

Ouch, me head is bending http://jtbo.pp.fi/images/240/DSC_0003.JPG

I did try to dodge, but unfortainly I was fallen bit of sleep, only thing I saw was brown flash, made evasive actions, but still hit with corner of bumper at perhaps 60-70kph

All screws that bolt spoiler to bumper were broken, except one, bumper top list disappeared, part that attaches bumper to wing destroyed, towing hook bent a bit, it did not effect to top speed, still car did run 140kph later on that trip.

Did ghetto fix spoiler today, tomorrow morning more miles again.

I'm afraid car does not comply with FIA rules any more, I have now front spoiler that does bend with speed and moving aerodynamic parts were banned, I think? :D

Good thing that it was not precious 360 ;)

Ouch. Rabbits are rather stupid.

Touch wood, I've not hit one yet, but I've had to stop rather quick a couple times for them :lol:

Rabbits are indeed quite stupid, but those in pic that I took today are perhaps even more stupid, if one stands on road, it won't move, not even when you stop 10cm from it and honk horn, it will blink, turn head, then turns head back and raises nose up :lol:

I better not to do img tag as pic is 1500xsomething, could be bit large (220k).
