Roof Down HORROR!
Discussion
Im sorry but i had to share this with you all....
....I have owned my Griff500 for splendid 3weeks now...
...and i have experienced the delights of watching peoples faces as ive gingerly pulled out of the drive and Hammered
it in second....
......i have also become excellent friends(due to poor mpg)with my local shell petrol station attendant...so much so that i now see him more than my girlfriend and hes starting to get better looking....help!
......but nothing could have prepared me for the horror that awaited me......
.......whilst driving with the hood down on a hot summers evening i must have hit a cobweb hanging between two trees down a country lane.....brushed it off....thinking nothing off it...i got home put on my shorts and running top(withhood) and ran for seven miles...
..then as i showered...an hour and a half after hitting the cobweb...i found myself not just washing my hair, but also my new running buddie Mr "ImSoFu
ingBigThatIWearShoes" Spider
Am i the only one?...anyone with strange hoodless experiences? please share....

I can beat that. Saterday just gone.
Driving up the M40 on the way to Wales, roof off, sunglasses on, and in the fast lane.
Suddenly something hard pings off my sun glasses.
The next thing I know is a sharp pain in my right testicle, resulting from a honey bee in a bad mood. Needless to say, I swerved from the fast lane to the hard shoulder in a very short space, and then treated other passers by to a mad man running up and down the hard shoulder rubbing his crotch and swearing loudly.
When I finaly arrived in wales to meet up with my girlfriend, just guess how much concern I had from her...none...she was too busy laughing.
I tell you it bl**dy hurt.

not so much a hoodless experiance as a glove box one,
this happened a couple of years ago when the car was stored up for the winter and a family of mice decided to move into the boot.
They kept the boot ever so clean as they would leg it over the petrol tank and run through the gaps over the wheel arches to appear inside the car and pop out where the door solenoids are,from there it was a short hop skip & jump into the back of the glove box where their toilet was.
I found the little bastards firstly by the smell and then discovered the toilet when I opened the glove box! my first reaction was to think that all the wiring had been chewed but thankfully i'd discovered them in time or it could have been a nightmare.
it took weeks to get the smell of piss out though!!

I see you've had the car 3 weeks now. Well, you probably haven't wrecked the engine yet, but if you carry on jumping into the car, pulling out of the driveway and then booting it then you're looking at some extremely expensive bills in the future.

...i would never do that....always like it to warm up first as it sounds very poor when cold.....
Thats ok Jon...i see you have a very nice Chimaera 500
.....i was just wondering...as you seem to heading a group of Tiv's...if there were any meetings coming up soon?...say in the Midlands area...
........and also is it me? or does anyone else get that wierd feeling...when you see the yellow glow of a shell petrol station in the distance?....

I was walking along the road a few years ago, this big bee few past my head then disappeared, next things I felt it buzzing against my back, took my shirt off in double quick time, still it didn’t sting me.
Was driving the S with the roof off last summer and a piece of long grass hit my eye, I was doing 60 at the time, it was red and sore for about 3 weeks.

Ow. But how did a stone get from your back wheel to your passenger's teeth? I can understand the Cossie throwing it up, but you said you did it...
Maybe I should get out more.
