Whew! Glad you are both OK Trevor. It did all that without breaking
off the windscreen? A friend and his buddy took his MkII Sprite out and
came back to the dorm sans windscreen and mirror. The deer attempted to
jump the car and ended up in their laps. The right front wing/headlight
was pranged from hitting a tree because he couldn't steer. The deer
took off after they stopped bruising the occupants in its scramble to
get out.
Like I said, very glad you're OK. Hmmm, Speedwell bonnet as a replacement!?
Regards,
