Yes indeed, the car has no damage whatsoever so I reckon Master Fox kept his head down (must have been the xenon effect ). No problems at all with the car so i reckon he managed to keep low enough to may be just scrape his head a little and then he bolted for it.

Its a good job those brakes are as effective as they are, well actually I put it down to two things :-

The good brakes and my 'honed' reaction speed (I knew all those games of counterstrike and DOD would come in handy one day....... )

I had a good day today in the S2000, top down this afternoon even made the traffic jam on the way home seem allright. Everythings allright with the world when you've got your top down, listening to some top tunes with shades on, grinning at the laydeeees

On a point about the fuel guage (mine seems to have a bit of a mind of its own when it gets down to below 4 bars....first it was 4 bars, then 3 then 2 then back to 4

Does it try to compensate for how you are driving ? becos I noticed after giving it some it went very quickly down to 2 and then when I was crawling along in the jam it had gone back to 4 ??

I hit a muntjack in the MX at about 70 once. Bounced off the nose cone with no damage.

About the same time, a client hit a white hart (no a white hart, not the White Hart) in his Renault Trafic at about 30. It took out the bonnet, wing, headlight & bumper.

I guess size matters, after all.
