I expect that I was the winner because none of the deer are alive to talk about it. However, in each case, insurance totaled my car. For a few years of that time I drove a Triumph Spitfire. The reason that I stopped driving the Spitfire to work was because rabbits would do to the small British cars what the deer would do to big American land yacht's... With any luck your car is repairable? elp -----Original Message----- From: bmcu-bounces at autox.team.net [mailto:bmcu-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Mark J Bradakis Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2011 2:20 PM To: bmcu Subject: Re: [Bmcu] Watch out for those deer!

No idea if it's fixable, but so far our insurance folks have been easy to work with. I do a lot of miles in these deer-infested areas, and this is my first "encounter" -- and hopefully my last!

So perhaps retirement at 40 years of service could have avoided this mishap. Just a suggestion.

Plenty of shivering, but non driving. :) On Dec 25, 2011, at 1:06 PM, R J DAVIS wrote: > OK, guys and gals, hope Santa was good to you this year.

Message-ID: Hello All, Merry Christmas! Many of you will have seen my Land Rover pick-up; my other vehicle, a 2007 LR3, is now out of warranty I'm wondering if any of you have recommendations for where to take her for any service needs, as I'd ideally like to save on main dealer charges. Thanks in advance!! Charles
