Scrappy Trip #2

Post by SteveP » 04 May 2006 05:23 pm

Me and Ali met up earlier to find some turbo bits... unfortunately the scrap yard had since disposed of the engine :( Bugger!

Anyway, a couple of pics on one hell of a hot day - leather does not go down to well.. *curses Andy with aircon* :wink:

I laughed at the distance between Ali's tyre and inner wheel arch :lol:

Ok well perhaps its a bit too low..... driving home from a night out last night I spotted a hedgehog in the middle of my lane so I positioned my car so that my wheels would go either side of it and then heard a massive bang on the underside of the car as we went over it lol, when I looked in my mirror it was still sat there so I think I just gave it a nasty clonk on the head :lol:

Don't be too harsh on badgers! Had a big fatty (I'm talking American or glandular problem fat) living near my garage who would waddle up a little hill, caught in the headlights. Always good for a smile.

Farmer has since cleared where it lived.

I know they have a bad rep because of TB and their bite, but in my experience they get on with their own thing if you only let 'em.

I know that hedgehog sound though. I also tried to go over one in an MGB, but the sound lasted a good hundred metres...think it had more than a headache. :(
