I'm upset.
« on: August 05, 2008, 12:10:21 »
One of my wing mirror spiders has eaten the other one. This is most un-sporting. Anyone got a spare i could re home to even things up a bit?

Had a new Freelander on loan the other day. I was pleased to see a factory standard fit spider in the wing mirror.

I have many spiders. I have a few inside and in each wing mirror. They have even spread the love and moved into the rover wing mirror too!

Roll on the conker season. Then they will start running away!!

conkers are a much simplier way though Jake. They hate the smell of them. Ok, you look daft driving about with conkers hanging from your mirror though!

Works great indoors though.

You murderer [-X

We don't seem to have any wing mirror spiders at home, they all seem to prefer the house. It got to the point that I didn't feel right if i went into the downstairs loo and there wasn't at least one in there. The conkers work, the spiders just migrated to the shower instead.
