Limeymk1 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 My old ST182 took out a deer (40 mph), hardly any damage to the car. That's what I was told anyway, as I was on holiday and my friend had borrowed it. It was all fixed up when I got home, just needed a replacement light spray nozzle.
