Smile 2 Day's, 1600km's - All Good, Except ......

merry christmas to all, hope you had a good day. went bush for christmas, the EF went awesome, didnt miss a beat. got fuel down to 9.5lt per 100 (not bad for 180,000ks : ) anyway on the way home today @ about 5am i hit a roo'. very lucky only very minor damage to the front bar/wheel arch. nobody hurt but not sure about the roo. i got the spot light out of the boot and had a look but couldnt find him/her. impact was about 10kph. (for thoose who know, it was at deepwater which is between tenterfield and glen innes (north west NSW). will post pics tonight.

cheers man, its only the 2 clips that hold the bumper to the gaurd that are broken and the wheel arch liner so ill get a new liner and just plastic weld the clips. i was doing around 100 when i saw it (just over the crest of a hill) and he/her was smack bang in the middle of my lane so i hit the anchors and bang just didnt stop lol. i was suprised that the only damage was the bumper, after i moved the car of the road i got out and thought ok, what have i done lol transmission cooler, radiator, headlights lol
