I have a scratch permanently on my passenger window of the 2 front teeth of a roo. He jumped across the road in front of me and i figured i was in the clear. Then he turned around and bang. 2 scratches with a mix of saliva and blood on my window.

The only roo i like is when im eatin them :P yum with some good marinade.

a few years back while driving to jindabyne(dad was driving) we were just drivin along around dusk on a straight in a fairly mountainous region. We were in a landcruiser and a patrol(i think) was comin at us in the other direction. Just as we got to each other a roo decided to play chicken with 2 cars, he dived straight through between us just as we came to each other and made it our alive! lol was pretty shocked for the lucky bastard
