No, not the line from the '60's film.
Pheasants. £cking everywhere
We're used to the here, there's a covey in the Windrush below, partridge and some dear. It's part of rural life.
So we know to keep a sharp eye out and keep speed as to visibility view and stopping distance.
You know just how stupid they are.
This morning, outwards, stupid cock strolls into road. Foot already on the brake, horn blare, flashing lights and a comfortable halt.
Did he budge? Nah. Stopped and looked me straight in the eye, and then toddled off. Probably questioning who was the real cock.
Return journey, gingerly slow as the greasy road around 2 degrees C. Out darts a high speed hen, just a flash out the corner of the eye, the thump underneath, and sinking heart.
2 minutes later, the the thumb and finger steering became heavy, and pulling off to the drive a minute later needed two hands on one side to turn the wheel.
Yup, fluid pouring under the nearside Steering fluid bottle.
Could have been any of our cars.
S0d, The lovely Dan and his Low Loader booked for Southampton again.
Are the hydraulic lines really that exposed?
