michael Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I haven't used the car for a week or so now and nature seems to have claimed it. We get a lot of snails in the garden, they wander around on the windows, doors, path etc but more recently they seem to have taken a fancy to the Supra. They have rejected the other 2 cars on the drive though. I went out last night and there were 10 of them sat in various locations, most on the roof and spoiler - imagine the kind of trip a snail would have to take to get there! I think they might be going up the rear wheel and then stretching themselved over the gap between the tyre and arch, it's quite close there when the car is on the drive, otherwise they are having a right old trek. It looked totally weird with all the snail trails running up the side, cheap alternative to graphics anyone? Oh and I have a spider in the wing mirror... I'm just waiting for a tree to grow out of the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I just came over and put them all over your car 'cause you're a sarcastic git Hence why there's none on the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Oh and I have a spider in the wing mirror... Dude, all cars come from the factory like that, didn't you know? And they are impervious to the hose being directed into the gaps around the mirror glass, and can rebuild their web between glances. And they can sit on their web and survive whatever speeds you achieve, oscillating 6 inches forward and back in the slipstream, 15 times a second, screaming "bring it on!" at you. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Happy days, they are in for a fun ride later in the week I'm bloody impressed they can get from the tyre to the wheel arch though! Acrobatic little buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting security are keeping an eye on me on cctv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 You could paint a large letter 'S' on the side of your car.... so that when people saw you driving past, they would say "look at that 'S' car go".... get it? like escargot? snails? but a play on words...?

Conrad Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Try tapping the spiders web or throwing a piece of leaf in there, he'll come running out from behind the mirror in a split second thinking it's food. Then you can squish him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
