That must have been under a tree?
It's not, fairly open car park up against a wall, they're worse than stuka dive bombers around here.

I am surprised we don't see many people walking around with bird poo running down their faces :eek:

I've been hit on the shoulder walking around, driving around top down is quite a gamble at low speed..

I got caught in Whitby a few years back. We were just going out for dinner when down it came by the bucket load. Had to go back to the Hotel to have a shower and change my clothes. You do feel a pratt walking the streets covered in poo :rolleyes::eek:

Ours have taken to attacking me when I’m putting my cover on, or taking off, or even being near the car- obviously upset at my attempts to protect my paint! :oops:

Nope just on the bonnet! I can report BMW paint is not nearly as good as Mercedes, OK partly the shape is collecting stone chips but when you look at the chip, there’s not so much depth there for sure.....:rolleyes:
I do like to remain impartial in my reporting......

MTFU it's only birdsh1te :geek::rolleyes::cool:

A correctly looked after car would have sufficient lubricity of the clearcoat to facilitate quick and easy rectification by a careful owner :D:D:D
You are one tough cold hearted individual buddy :D

I think this is the best I'm going to see, hit between 70 and above.
The return Journey was 43

Sorry for the size of pic, hopefully everyone can just see the display!!

Threw a bucket of water over it, as I feared @Wighty wouldn’t sleep tonight if I didn’t :p

Anyone want to take a punt on what my car will look like in the morning?

(I’m parked 2 places North West of where I was last night)
