The car hit a deer, before I bought it 10 years ago... I will eventually get to it. Some day. Maybe. :FUNNY: :FUNNY:
The car has the plate in place, you can buy these. I might have seen it at Banks?!

Post by: 1970EuropaGuy on Tuesday,January 21, 2020, 06:35:26 PM: I hit a deer with my Ford truck and 5th wheel, amazing damage. Can't imagine hitting a deer in the Europa!

I'll either be fabricating a closing plate or buying one before my Europa is on the road in the spring.

Post by: Music City Lotus on Wednesday,January 22, 2020, 09:26:39 AM: The deer did not that much damage. probably because the low nose of the Europa only hit the legs. I hit a cat with my Elise, and it did as much damage.

Post by: 1970EuropaGuy on Wednesday,January 22, 2020, 08:06:41 PM: I hit a chipmunk last fall, poor soul. At least it didn't end up in my radiator.
