KaoriFan Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 yesterday, went to Tunbridge Wells and had windows down. all of a sudden this spider flies in the window, scares the life out of me. i have a phobia of spiders, and just had visions of this thing crawling over me while driving. i couldn't find it either. must have looked funny to others, driving along, scratching at various times for no reason. this morning, got in the car, and it felt like i brushed a spider's web strand. not good. car needs a clean, so will get it valeted tomorrow when it goes in to have wheel alignment and turbo's sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Like Phil Jupitus' stand-up routine about houses, I'm afraid you must scrap the supra and get another one. I had one, running around the head lining, I thought I'd killed it but when I lowered the visor it dropped onto me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 A girl my sis used to knock about with, smashed her car up because a spider crawled on her whilst she was driving. I took some wood an crap down the tip in my cossie once, an then the car was over run with spiders, poxy webs all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 LOL reminds me of the Silvia wing mirror spider, which are quite common in fact, go ask them on the SXOC:) the little buggers wait until you open the windows and the kind of parachute into the car on a strand of web while your driving, usually onto your face:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure washer will sort him out on sat Yeah I've got one of them, stupid little thing scares me into sweating rather than opening my window incase he creeps in! Someone at work has spiders in the car after a trip with wood to the tip too. He sprayed something and it killed them, not sure what it was though.

TLicense Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I must have a million of the buggers all over my car where it's been sat on the drive for so long. They don't bother me but every time I get out from under the car I keep thinking I've collected a couple down my shirt or something. Spiders and ants. Yeah I've got a mirror spider too. Pressure washer doesn't get them though, they hide right behind the glass. I spotted him a couple of times trying to poke his head out as we were doing 70, realising it was a bit windy and then scrabbling back behind the motor mechanism. There's an idea squish him by pivoting the mirror?? Thing is it takes me an age to get the mirror into the right position. I wouldn't want to throw it away on a spider!

Animal Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Me too. Got him up to 100 leptons. Little thing was just a blur with the turbulence, then disappeared back into the mirror when I slowed down enough. Bet it were dizzy! One made me jump yesterday though - absailed down from the air con vent above my desk at work. It got level with my eye about an inch away from my face before I saw it.
