Phantom Menace Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Ok guys I met a roadkill in the middle of a corner with a car coming the other way and I could stop or avoid in time. This hare was enormous, at first I thought it was a deer. I think there must be a local steriod leak. So I lost my remote oil pressure sender (Which I have replaced) but I still have fur, blood, guts and bone in my engine compartment gearbox tunnel and back axle area all covered in an engines worth of oil. How am I going to get this all off of my pride and joy 1.6ss superlight that I only got on thursday!! What a nightmare. What do I have to scrub and what can I hose down? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Blood is water soluble and does not dissolve in alcohol. Hot soapy water and vigourous scrubbing is your best bet. I speak from experience..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I have a hare in my freezer at the moment, so can attest to size of the b*ggers ! Cook it for many hours with some red wine and onions, serve with paparrdelle. A Tuscan Classic smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nuts Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Diced a pigeon (well, half a pigeon to be precise, the other half went over the car, depositing various red bits as it went) through the grille and radiator a few months back. Yuk. Found bits as far back as the back of the plenum. As Alex says, plenty of soapy water really! Drove over a pile of horse s**t the other day which pulled the wire off the oil pressure sensor (mild panic as the pressure went to zero), not a pleasant job putting it back on!! All part of the Seven experience! NN blush.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefoster Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I can better a hare! I ran over an already dead fox last Nov on the way to work at 60 mph. It really slowed the car down as it dragged underneath. Only a cracked number plate and bits of fox gloop to show for it. By the drive home it was going rancid..... I could smell it whilst driving. Pressure cleaned it off (light pressure) amazing how many chunks of flesh there were... Neighbours cat had a field day. Yum yum.. At the weekend got her on the ramps and gave it a really good clean... yuck Hair and guts everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Carmichael Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Blood [...] does not dissolve in alcohol I have carried out a lot of research in this area. Bambiquestion.gif I thought Bambi had four legs. Never did find the headlamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7 SLR Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I hit a dead Thumper on last year's Haggis Hunt and it stank like you couldn't believe. The only answer was to jet wash it off. I jet washed everything; engine bay, underside of the car (especially where Thumper had caught round the diff area) but I could still catch a whiff every so often for weeks afterwards. Yuk. I thought of burning V7 at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Dart Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 At least Hares are harmless, I was touring Donegal and was puzzled encounter a wet road on a beautiful spring day entering the sea side town of Killebegs. I caught up with a trailer which was leaking, obviously the source of the wet road. My nose left no doubt that what I was driving over was basically dead fish goo. The smell was unbelivably bad, worse than my mates car sick dog vomit which inhabited an inertia seatbelt reel for some weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefoster Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Yep, the Hare removing one was good. Jason Brown hit a live fox full on. Cracked the nose and but a big dent in his ali rad. It still works after ages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Did you get Rolf Harris out to deal with the fox's cracked nose? Putrifying fox has to be the worst smell one can come across in this country. My dogs found one many years back and I'm still convinced I can smell it lingering around the outbuildings where Dad and I bathed them for a whole weekend!!! Why do dogs always rub themselves in filthy stuff like that? When out in Oz we approached a dead wombat on the road. My mate had a panic trying to wind the windows up in the truck whilst instructing me to do the same and kill the ventilation fan. Couldn't understand his panic until too late. That smell stuck to everything, worse than the fox!!!! To remove the hare place your car on 3 ft axle stands and invite the local fox hounds etc around, after all they wont have much to do in the near future!! I'm surprised Ernie hasn't been on to tell his story of the indecisive squirrel........told as only Ernie can!! Nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Ohhhh I feel left out now ..... the biggest road kill I have had in the se7en is a Big fat Bumble bee !!!! , smacked me in the goggles right between the eyes . I couldnt tell if I caught him up , or if we were indeed travelling in the opposite direction teeth.gif. He was a strange yellow colour inside , similar to arnies car - dripping off my nosewink.gif.

mikejay Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 You said it still works. Do you mean the foxes nose? i.e does/can the fox still smell (or is the fox just smelly?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
