spiders found by jmc on Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:35 pm
Now I know 2.3s are not the fastest things around but yesterday when I opened the glass over the tailgate I found not one but two spiders having moved into the rubber trim over the top thank you very much (obviously deciding I wasnt going anywhere fast) and spun a web each either side of the space by the doorposts. They rushed out to glare at me when I opened the glass.
They must have read krushers comment (squeak found topic)on wondering if I had found a squirrel under the wheel arch.
As far as I know they are still there.
This is nothing to the snail on my mototguzzi on the way into work one morning! which I didnt see until it crawled over my speedometer and headed towards the top."dont go there I said" as it peeked over the top but it took no notice :) It was very funny, the poor beast got the full blast of 50mph and retreated hurriedly back down the rev counter.
