So my MINI got attacked by a turkey this morning! I went outside and find this huga *** turkey sitting on my windshield wipers pecking at my windshield! So I chase it away, and check for damage and didnt really find anything. Then later, i assume he saw his reflection in the side of the car, because theres about 6 little dings and scratches all over my drivers side, and some more on the hood, probably from when he jumped up on the hood.

So now I need the door and hood repainted, which isnt so bad because I wanted to paint the hood anyway from all the rock chips, and I got a hook up at a body shop for $600 to paint the door and hood and buff out the scratches on the quarter panel.

I guess I gotta put the cover on every night, or stay out there with a shotgun and have a turkey dinner.

 

Sounds like Thanksgiving is going to be early this year at your house!

 

That's funny, I thought you were going on about England v Turkey in the last qualifying match for Euro Championship 04 next month.

 

I vote for the turkey dinner.

 

Cheers!

gobble gobble.....what a funny story. i bet the damage wasn't that funny!

 

Hey my post is gone after the crash of 9/10.

I said that I thought the turkeys were attacking the juicy MINI.

We gotta get a Mod to fight back like that ad for the eviltwin SportKA

Make a eviltwinMINI with doors that hit vandals and a rear hatch that belches.

 

A good idea would be to install a device that electrifies the outside of the car so that when you touch it you get a small shock. I know I've heard of this done before.
A while back one of the radio techs at my job made this thing that, when he attached an alligator clip to his chair (or anything metal), you would get a shock if you touched it.
