    'Little' being the operative word there. There's not much on them compared with the input of preparation, especially if they're flattish. :)

    There's a section of our road about 12 miles distant, where I swear one could pick up enough pheasant road-kill to live on. There's a sign saying "Caution, pheasants in road," which locals seem to respond to with the words, "Bring 'em on!" :rotfl:

    But I'm pheasanted-out now. Someone threatened me with a couple more last week, but they weren't on the door handle yesterday, so there's a chance that's it for this season. ;)

    Unfortunately for you, pheasant is in season for another month IIRC.

    It's a Zastava 101 Super in this guise but all of the above is probably correct :)

    Lada Zastava

    I don't think Lada Zastava is correct.
    Zastava is an ex-Yugoslavia car maker, nothing to do with Lada.

    I think your correct Wheezy. I was lazily just quoting from the forum the picture was on :A

    I thnk the Fiat 124 was also made by Lada and the Fiat 128 was made by Zastava as the Yugo.

    Couldnt wait to get shot of my fiat - it developed an intermittent fault nobody could fix. When I moved to London, I parked it down a side street and checked it once a month. Pretty much forgot I owned it. Eventually forced myself to flog it at an auction and didn't bother with a car for ages afterwards.

    If we had more cars like that it would be great antidote for global warming by putting people off driving.:cool:

    Hm... Given Davesnave's location, I'd guess some of the pheasants are obtained using Danny's grandpa's method no 2, and that method is never out of season.
