And no damage to the CJs radiator, unlike the (is it a) Holden?

It is amazing how far the poor koala was wedged in the bumper before it was noticed, like 10kms later before it was noticed!

Not long after getting my CJ I think I hit a cat on a badly lit road, no damage so maybe it got away with one less life?

Last week driving a small 3Ton truck for a charity I hit a Turkey. Yes a small native Turkey about the size of a decent chicken decided to try and take off as we passed it on an 80kay road. It hit the windscreen right in front of me with a thud and all I saw in the mirrors was feathers flying. Couldn't stop but I'm pretty it was Isuzu 1 Turkey 0.

Lucky it was a non turbo so there was a nice gap behind the grille
