Back in the early 90s I was taking a new girlfriend(turns out She was a fluffy bunny/kitten lover) for a spin in my Escort Cosworth. Just as i floored it for the first time a suicidal Cock bird launced itself from the verge. Bang, big cloud of feathers and a rather loud S##T from me. Is it ok she shrieked, out i jump and quickly back in yes not even a scratch i said.
