Unlucky like.....Ive managed to dodge every deer thats ever ran out right in front of me. Have loads up here. The rule is to break hard and steer in the direction it came from. Never failed me. Not hit any sort of animal in over 10 year now. Even 180'd and ditched my Vr6 avoiding a whole family of ducks last year lol.
so you had the mk3 on the duck pond again  :grin: :grin:

Meeeeehh......I forgot my abs wasnt working so when i reversed the engine and steered vigorously port side i ended up in the opposing shipping lane. Had to let a flare off. :grin:

Well the big insurance companies are now sharing information and a claim one one car is being taken into consideration on another car!
Yes I have two cars separately insured by different companies, the latest renewal want to up my premium because of a no fault claim I had on my other car!

change insurers then... my premium has had £0 change following my non fault claim last year


oh and insurers have shared/known claim info for years. It called the Claims and Underwriting Exchange and although it does mean 1 claim can affect other insurance, it reduces non-disclosure and fraud.

man i feel your pain i hit a deer in my first golf the old mk3 1.8SE i was scared to get out and look at the damage lol but i suffered with a broken grille (which i wanted to replace for a debadged one anyway) but unfortunately the deer was dead . . . very dead there were a couple of othr things broken like the reflector where a gti's fog lights are but i got off very lightly

GTI is not a trim level. It is a lifestyle.
