It’s certainly old - I don’t know if it was fired from the bird gun for test purposes?

German car - if he was travelling autobahn speeds then, maybe, I guess. Though I’m pretty sure if that had happened to me I’d have crashed :cry:

If you look at the headrest there’s no head shape shadow in the splatter, same on the seat base. I don’t think there was a driver sat in that car when it happened.

I was out for a blast in this one summers evening back in 2006 just before I sold it. I hit a female pheasant with the osf suspension at about 70mph....not funny ! Ripped the brake line out of the caliper, bent the bottom wishbone and smashed the cycle wing and headlight to pieces. I was only wearing a T-shirt and was covered in debris including blood, guts, feathers and egg yolk ! Good job I had a full face helmet on or I reckon it may have been curtains :(

I think he would have “ducked” fairly quickly!

I would certainly have needed to clean the driver's seat too. :o

Lol! Saw the first pic and immediately though "How slow must he have been going to have a strike from the rear like that?" :roll:
