So decided to head out to RNP tonite with a mate after I missed the official cruise
Anyways, on the way back, somewhere vaguely near Appin at around 320am, my mate, in hi little green lowered civic ek literally smashed into a mid sized kangaroo with me close behind but in the right lane but both running at around 115km/h
He hit the kangaroo but luckily for me I missed it
We pulled over as you do and inspected the damage... His front bumper completely messed,the middle missing and the left sside just hanging on barely with a severely damaged number plate and moderately damaged but leaking radiator. I will post pics later of his car but I'm just so glad it wasn't my car, as bad as I feel for saying it
Guys please be careful at night and in roads near bush, I know it sounds mushy and cheesy but I really dont want anyone going through what me and my mate went through tonite, just that moment of fear and despair I guess
Thankfully noone was hurt but I'm never gonna forget that look on the kangaroo when we saw it and was just too late to do anything about it, it just sat there and he just went wham and it was gone
Drive safe guys and be wary, those things won't move
We now need to source a new bumper, a radiator and need to try and push out his grille/hood area so it will close properly =\ if anyone knows anyone getting rid of or knows of someone sourcing ek1 parts, lemme know, any help would be good

I hit a massive roo in my old TN Magna back on my p's years ago at 110k's made a mess of the roo all the magna had damaged was a dent in the front bumper,grille smashed,window smashed and dent on roof and boot where it went over the car!
Gotta be careful on country roads....alot of people mainly city drivers dont have the experience out there.
