    Default So I hit an Echidna.

    Last night I was driving home and BAM out of nowhere this Echidna launched itself under my front right hand side tyre.

    I was pretty tired, got home and went to bed, completely forgetting about it. This afternoon I went to move the car and noticed it's spikes had been wedged right in the tyre.

    Yeah I felt pretty bad. Not something I'd intentionally hit, couldn't really avoid it though.

    No puncture yet. But I reckon if I pull the spikes out I'll get one no doubt. Longest spike is probably 50mm.

    Changing tyres tomorrow.

    ive had a few people come into work with punctures from echidnas and they tend to F&#k up tyres pretty bad.
