NewNiceMrMe Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was about to say just the same! Reverse gear is all I'd need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantSE Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 A judicious use of a handbrake turn might be in order, followed by a quick getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was thinking more like a J turn. That way you can still see the beast as you reverse at 40mph... and then flick it round and floor it if the bugger starts to charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Awww, its just a ickle'wickle Bison. Surely a gentle prod with the bumper and it would move aside and you could go on your way!!! I thoigh they thing roamed the plains, not the forrests and hills! Huge beasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvantSE Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I never was any good at J-turns. Mind you, I seem to have lost the knack of handbrake turns too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I wouldn't be getting out of the car and taking a picture of it like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was gonna say! Are we supposed to believe someone got out the car, sneeked around the animal, then asked it to pose for the camera? Nice picture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyp Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 [ QUOTE ] I was thinking more like a J turn. [/ QUOTE ] My thoughts exactly, reverse, floor it, clutch in, 1 and 2, flick left flick right then select 2nd gear and away you go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Depends on speed , If it appeared at 80 mph then no contest let the abs, tc and stability controls do there job . If I was going slow enough to see it, I'd try and do a near silent 25 mph cruise past the beast. I think car power, rather than a need for controls would be the paramount requirement . If all else fails I'd get one of the kids to go and give it an apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I would buy a nice shiny SUV and use the bars on the front - after all, that's what they're for, isn't it? And then I would barbecue the fecker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'd rely on my car's excellent ESP controls and think fast!. Friends of mine run this Bison farm in Wiltshire: web page. I was only there the weekend before last and my fridge is currently well stocked with Bison meat. I've been going to that farm for 12 years and can tell you, if it's not already obvious, that you don't mess with Bison. They are usually very docile but can move as quickly and suddenly as a deer. You don't mess with Moose either! An SUV ain't gonna help you much - You'd need your windscreen at least caged up very heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
