No, it's not what you think - I didn't hit a cow with my cooper. It's worse than that... well, ok, not really, but I need to vent about it anyway.

So we were crusin' down the freeway exiting Geelong here in Australia and I was overtaking a big cow-moving truck over a bridge that is sort of cambered to the left, and then wham, moo, splat - the biggest cow crap I've ever seen came flying out of the side of the truck and in slow motion proceeded to go kerplat... right on the windscreen, all over the bonnet, all over the numberplate, the front of the car, all down the side and THANK THE LORD the sunroof was shut - but I WAS driving a British Racing Brown Cooper for a bit... ugh.

Of course I turned right around, drove straight home and washed the car before proceeding on the journey... and needless to say I was rather angry at that cow and had a Quarter Pounder on my way out of town...

So Mini Vs. Cow

Cow 1 Pat, Mini 1 Quarter Pounder... I'll see you next time on the freeway for round two.

A finer collection of Cow related humour I've never seen...

I think TUX and I have nearly put it behind us after a nice drive down the freeway, sans cows this time...

aussiesupermini · Feb 7th, 2006, 12:17 AM

That's a novel idea. I think I'll eat my boss's cousin for lunch if he upsets me this week.
