Accelerating through three figures is all I'll admit to...

I saw the damn bird launch from the verge and then everything went red.

At least it's now a proper Gore-Tex jacket.

I have some pitures on my phone which I can't post.

I'll take some pictures of the clean up if it still looks sufficiently gory.

Sadly the tubes on the gearshift have now gone.

The joy of spatter. Not shown; one bloody jeans leg, blood and feathers splattered up the boot and some spatter up the trouseer leg. Nice

Bearing in mind that this is after 36 hours drying time and a ride through light drizzle.

Thanks,

Yep, lovely meaty goodness. The radiator is full of the contents of the crop and intestinal tract. That has an interesting aroma.

The jacket now smells really awful. I'll be sticking it in the wash tonight once I've worked out how to remove the body armour.

Achievement unlocked. Hunt a pigeon, using a motor vehicle as ammunition.

At least it was a pigeon and not a deer or similar.

Tried pressure washing it all off? Works pretty well.

Ooft! A picture does say many words!
As the dude says above, at least it was only a pigeon.
Good luck with the rest of the cleaning. I bet it'll be a while 1)before you get the smell out your nose and 2)before you want to have pigeon on toast!!
