No Stan, as the convoy spread out from being stuck behind slower cars, intersections etc... Well the end 4-5 cars got hauled over by a cop who wanted to book everyone of us, but settled for the only one he could get, the tail ender and made an example out of him.
That sucks, but he's the law and thats that :frown:

Nah. We where only going at a SP pace...not quick enough for any sort of real excitement.

As to what happened...
We came around a corner (?) and happened upon an owl dining on some carrion.
As al swerved and went around the aforementioned owl, it (the owl) was startled by the lack of
speed the SP was exhibiting and jumped up and attempted to fly away in disgust, for this sad SP situation was more that it could bear.
Unfortunately, this particular owl was a devout (one eyed?) sp supporter in the classic sp versus se
debates and in its incredible shame decided to end its life against my passenger side A pillar.
I swerved harder than a belly dancers hips but to no avail. There was a dull thud and a puff of white feathers.....
....and another one bites the dust.
and yup, I still feel really bad.

Though it must be said that I had a HOOT of a time HOOTING through those windy roads....

yea road kill.

On one of Coutry Cousins famoust cannon ball runns we came through some gorgeous valley. Some eagle had just killed a rabbit or some other rodent for a feast when the car in front came around the eagle dropped it. I collected it & there was blood & guts all over my under carrage. Then the eagle who wasn't going to give up lunch decided to come back for it in a swoop but then nearly got collected by the car behind me. :lol:

The smell from my car was putrid for days.

As for someone taking it for the team. Thats tragic. That happened to me once but everyone involved decided to pass around the hat for the fine. But the policeman was in a good mood & had let me off.
