Thread: Strangest damage to bonnet

How strange. Yes, looks like impact damage not a burn.

Pic is there now Ron. Wasn’t when I first looked either.

BB gun ? It's certainly an impact event, not fire.

Sorry about pic - somehow posted without it as I was doing it on my phone.

i honestly can’t work it out.

Its a fairly hefty hole.

That looks very much like an impact. Look underneath the bonnet to see if the metal is curled in.

I’d reckon it’s an impact from a bullet too. By the time it’s gone through the bonnet, it wouldn’t probably do any further damage. But I’d be looking for the bullet itself lodged in/under part of the engine, or if you can remember exactly where you were, the ground maybe.
I reckon I’d be buying myself a lottery ticket 🎫 You don’t always hear people shooting.

A walk down the paddock on a foggy morning to check on new lambs proved to be interesting one day, when on my return I was confronted by a dead ewe on the track,, shot. Both my mate next door and myself were a bit taken back with this. He’d been shooting from his verandah for years,, never again though.

I agree - bullethole. Possibly at extreme range.
