how many roos have you ever hit at any one time

[Thornie]

was talking to my mum today and she told how my old man hit 4 roos in one go last week. Thankfully it was in his truck but the truck still ended up getting damaged as it does not have a bull bar smashed the front 1/4 into one of the front tyres and jammed my mum said he was parked basically on road with his hazard lights on and not one person stopped to help he wasnt hurt but those 4 roos were.

My stepfather hit about 30 emus in one go.
They all ran into a tunnel and unfortunatly for them Country Passenger Trains dont swerve or stop real well. Was a bloody mess too. They had to stop outside of town before they got to the platform to wash all the crap off the train. Would not loo to good pulling up at a station with 30 odd emus worth of bits hanging off the engine.

I have only ever hit one. I was a passenger in my GT at the time.........

I remember the roo Jim Richards hit at Bathurst last year was pretty spectacular, although only a single roo.

And imagine if they weren't under the yellow flag :

lol, he's hit quite a few things. Did you know Cows can explode? :

He's lucky though, been driving for over 25 years and has never killed a person. Thats so rare its not funny. Most drivers kill a person within 5 years.

Please type in normal english as SMS is for phones, not forums.

Yes, that it did. We were chuckling about it on the drive to Seymore on Saturday.

You sound almost dissappointed about that! haha

[Captain Stubing]

I used to ride from Longreach to Brisbane and back, every couple of months, I had the adrenalin going when I split a mother emu from 28 chicks ... I had to pull up and count them!

I've also had 'roos pull back... they would have been gone!

I've cleaned up a few roo's doing the trip by car.. so many XC GXL Grille's gone!

[Full Noise]

In one go I’ve only ever hit two. Back in 1996 near Tomingley, south of Dubbo. The bas***ds broke two headlights and cracked the bonnet on the T900. In the last fifteen years I’ve probably cleaned up 120 or so.

Cheers, Danny

4, but in a truck

[outback_ute]

Mate nearly hit 3 on a pushbike

Nearly hit Wayne Carey as he crossed the road in Kensington once - does that count?

[Pursuit250]

The old man was driving his truck and was stuck behind a school bus on a country road. He noticed the bus slowing down and assumed that it was pulling over to drop some kids off. He pulled out and when he was coming along side the bus he saw the first sheep. Three more sheep later he was passed the school bus. Apparently the kids in the bus thought it was great!!!! Farmer wasn't so impressed.

[Twisted]

Hehe you guys should try carrier training at Puckapunyal. I think driving thru a big mob scored me about 15 in a row through a big paddock in on straight line. Another half dozen or so when they decided to hop across the range during a .50 cal shoot.

[Walkinshaw]

Not quite as impressive as emu/roos, but i did manage to get 6ducklings and 2 ducks in one hit. Stupid things walked out onto War Memorial Drive at 5:30pm and walked allong the road right where the left wheel sits.....There were no orphans, kids coped it 1st.

[TheSneakiness]

Step Dad hit one yesterday morning. Didn't do much damage. Bent front bumper and mangled number plate.

Yup, some got a fair way but not out of traverse range of the turret :evilsasmo

Only hit one roo at a time, but do I get extra points for an owl hitting my windscreen the following night??

[MotherNatureVer2]

I have lost count of how many I have hit ........... I think the most in one go was 3 ......

Last Sunday night I didnt hit any but to keep the boy occupied we counted them on the way home ...... 19 roos, 2 Bunnys, 1 Fox & 1 Bat ............

[MrQuan]

...and a partrige in a pear treeeeeee~~*

[mcflux]

I hit a dog at 80kph once... As I pulled over, a drunk stumbled up to the roadside and goes "mate, have ya seen my dog?"

Then a toyota of some sort drove past & hit the dog.

Then the drunk's kids came up calling out for the dog.

Then a commodore hit the dog.

Somehow I got roped into packing the sack of blood, shit & fur into a box in my boot, and dumping it 5km out of town. :

The kids were told that the "thing" on the road was just a "Really big cat" :Reverend:

Then I went home for tea, but for some reason I wasn't hungry! All I could smell was dog!

The End.

PS I haven't hit a roo yet :eclipsee_

Woulda been better if you cleaned him up though.

Cool story Dave. No, really!

[lotsy]

Hit two in one go mother with joey.

Also had some bird hit the car then took out someone elses roadkill, big roo dragged it down the road bloody thing had to be wrenched out from under the car - really glad that it was dead. Allthough the blood left this horrid smell throughout the car.
