It didn't happen to me, I didn't see it happen, but I saw the results.
A brand new '79 Limited Edition B was towed into the body shop of the
britcar dealership where I worked. The front suspension was crushed,
there was an imprint of the top of the engine in the hood (bonnet), and
the top of the windshield frame was pushed down in the middle. The story
was that the car had hit a cow at highway speeds. The cow bounced on the
hood (bonnet), clipped the windshield frame, and then flew completely over
the rest of the car. The occupants didn't get a scratch. The car was
repaired, but the cow was totalled.
