VW Scirocco. The Quattro, E350 CDi Blue Efficiency Sport Coupe, now both gone
Spotted a massive seagull dump down the side window and door. Outside with a kettle of hot water sponging it off as the rain starts to fall. The missus thinks I'm mad

You too?

I had mine all washed, polished, and ceramic coated ready to go on our little sojourn to the Lake District.

Mr. FU**IN' seagull drops his load on the roof and down the drivers window just as I'm getting in the car to leave.

Fortunately the bar stewards timing was off a smidge and he missed me, but, Swmbo thought I was the mad hatter because I went into the house and got my pump up pressure washer and an bucket of water to clean it all off before I'd leave.

No way was I leaving all that SH1T on the car for several days, although I must admit the ceramic coating helped with the removal no end. As soon as I turned on my little pump up pressure washer said mess promptly flowed right down the side of the car and down the gutter where it belonged.

Jeez, I wish Seagulls were still classed as vermin, then I could shoot the fu**ers in good conscience.

Nesting season is sure underway now. I keep a bottle of water and a toilet roll in the boot for the nesting season. The toilet roll by the way is not to wipe the Seagulls bum ! :rolleyes::D

Soda water is the best Andy, fold up a big bunch of your loo roll into a 1” thick wad ,pour on the soda water which will stay put better than tap water- let it settle then lift off the offending matter.....
That’s my travelling solution
At home or office I use the microfibre towel in the same way but with hot water...
Plenty practice :oops:

The sea wall is just 500 yards from our front door. Well, that was until storm Hannah bought it an awful lot closer last night. :rolleyes::(

Could do with torrential rain now, sorry folks !! ;)

Gave the CLK a quick snow foam wash , ready for Tuesday's MOT . When I took the car round the block to dry the brakes off , I noticed a squeak from the rear :shock: (typical !)

IMG-20190427-WA0000.jpg Drove 300 miles in the 210 picking stuff up that Mrs LK had bought online.
Dyson rechargeable, wine rack, garden hammock on stand and for me a 210 front bumper with parking sensors and foglights. Met a nice bloke in the process - cheers Rob!

Washed it for the second time in 3 days. Damn seagulls!

Just been out to get something from the car and its been splattered again:mad:
The only negative living close to the coast is when the young seagulls flee the nest. Cr@p everywhere.

I've really got to get to a BTCC race, from what I've heard they are a great day/weekend out.
