I've hit a fair amount, squirrel in my corsa, that just died under my wheel, used to do a rabbit a week almost when working n Datchet, silly bastards used to run out infront of me when I was streaming up the releif road!
Badger caused the most mess.
OHHH the best was a pheasant. I learnt to drive off road, going up the long back straight in my Dad's pretty much brand new A3 giving it a good test I hit a pheasant. I was picking it out the grill while my Dad was shouting at me LOL. Had a fitty in the car at the time as well, was also towing a cone trailer :lol;

The biggest thing I've hit was a baby fox.
My dad once hit a hare, smashed his bumper up nicely and the hare got up and hopped off

I've hit many a critter on the road,although i never try to hit anything would rather not damage my car,had a couple of close ones with deers,thank fuck i've never smited one of those bad boys.
I did hit a wall last week tho,tryed blowing my horn but it wouldn't get out of the way. . . . . . .just another day for the 5 door veteran and i can say the wall came off worse than the car,slightly buckled front wheel,no more splitter and another battle scar. . . . . . . . . minor issues.

Luckily it went over he car
anyway, there was some rover thing right behind me, and when i stoped at a junction the guy got out of the car and accused me of speeding up when i say it, which i couldnt have as it ran out a split second infront of me.
He was such a cock.
but anyway, resulted in a broken number plate, irmscher grille snapped in 3 pieces, and loads of blood and crap behind my front bumper
great.
Tbh i think DRS is winning this thread at the moment, i remeber reading about when he hi t a deer i think it was on migweb
Fucking hell mate, you ever heard of paragraphs?

Badger, dead badger, fox, numerous rabbits, pheasants, sparrows, pigeons, magpies etc. Joys of living in the country I guess!

i ran over a fox in the focus. my arsehole almost gave way.
luckily he ran out and went under the front of the car, smashing my splash guard into about 3 pieces so no damage that you could see.
one piece fell out when i was doing over 130, my arsehole gave way that time

I've had easily over 10 pheasants - the best time was when I was heading back home one evening (out in the sticks down single track lanes), was going down a clear 1 mile straight at 70-80mph, when 2 pheasants both came out from a bush with little space. They tried to fly off but one bounced off my A-Pillar and the other off the top of the windscreen - 2-for-1 win!
I've had numerous sparrows and small birds - picked one up on the way to work in a Prison one morning, the drug dog doing the car search at the vehicle lock was going mental in my wheelarch and the handler started getting a bit suspicious, until the little Spaniel bastard excitedly ripped said sparrow out from a split it made in the Arch Liner...
The worst (for guilt feeling) was when I killed a Barn Owl - poor fucker was eating something in the road and may have been dazed by my headlights causing it to take off too late and hit my windscreen full pelt before bouncing down the road. Felt massively guilty by that one, I like Owls.
I haven't scored any of the big hitters like Deer, Foxes, Badgers etc.
