i have hit 2 wombats one ok, one dead, the dead one i bought a frontwheel drive morris for $50 to go bush basing for the weekend some years ago, which has the same engine set up as a mini, so i hit this wombat at about 70k's on a dirt road smack in the middle of the car, it was night time he just ran out, the whole car got airborne and when i landed the car got the wobbles up and went up an enbankment, i was hanging on for dear life and trying to maitain the pressure to my arse muscle, bit of a wild ride thru the bush and back onto the road, we were in the Narbathong state forrest in vic, nearly hit a roo standing in the middle of the road at 3.30 in the morning after a skin full of piss, few birds couple cracked windscreens and a cracked grille. but the wombat one i will never forget.
