X2 Good luck with the resto.

Lucky it didn't come through the windscreen and into the car. Dam things will kick the crap out of everything trying to get away. Although judging by the damage it doesn't look like this one would have been too good.

One of the brother's mates hit a horse in his GT Falcon and nearly got kicked to death.

Lame. Did you take revenge on the roo by feasting on its carcass?

Of course there is also a private mob with an office here in Oz & one in Finland.
We'll buy - I mean, insure your engine and maybe a few other bits.
It's premium free, but it does depend on the engine. LOL!

The other bits require verification. Please post the offending roo to my Finnish office for inspection. :lol:

slice the 2 hind 1/4's off the roo at the hip joints and take em home with you... skin em and start taking off all the meat and chop it up into small dice cubes.. cook it off with some mire poix (carrot celery onion) add some beef or chicken stock salt and pepper let it cook down until its thick.. make osme pie bases out of either short pastry or puff pastry and put the filling into the cases (remember to blind bake if your using puff pastry first).. put lids on and bake again fro 30 odd minute.. game pie is the best.... plus you hitting him in the car would have tenderised the muscles....
