UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,
Was on my way to the garage to jetwash my car and I hit a brown labrador. 35kg worth. The dog looked pretty bad, but have since heard that it should make a full recovery eventually.

The owner was quite upset, and I was too, as there was nothing anyone could do. (Appart from keep dog under proper control). I hit it on the near side corner at 30 mph.

Anyway, I estimated the damage to be 250 quid, which they provided a cheque for. We both Doctors, so I'm sure it won't bounce. The nasty part was scraping dog off my car and arch. Even though I don't like dogs its not something I enjoyed.

So now, I'm looking at a new bumper, and spray job on it.

Whilst I'm at it, I think I will get a spoiler too, as it seems like they will do it for another 20 quid. So its not all bad.

Poor dog. Poor Car.

Which do you think I went to look at first, the front of my car or the dog?

I would say car, i know i'd get out and check my car first.

Hope the dog makes a recovery tho even tho i dont really like dogs.

lol - not juss u, look at the poll results!

both as i hav a lab and im a bit fond of dogs but in the back of my mind car would come 1st no doubt

Thats pretty bad, but im sure id be more worried about the car then the dog, no offence to dog lovers!

Phill.

this is not a dog forum - thats y!

this is true, its hardly an unbiased cross section of the public.

I have cashed the cheque from the owner for 250, and am getting the bumper replaced. Whilst I'm at it, I'm getting a spoiler sprayed too.

sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident.
Hope the dog makes a full recovery and so does the car

Yeah, pity the car doesn't grow back.
