New weight saving tip

Whilst fumbling around under the back of the car yesterday I noticed the two small holes in the rear clam next to the undertray just behind the rear wheels.Presumeably to let water out, but not doing that on our car due to them being blocked by stones.Prodded the stones out and approx 2 tonnes of rubbish then fell out of the holes.Must be worth a second per lap…Mark

I’d never even think of asking the other half to clean there! Too many spiders for a start!Ian [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]

Seems the rear clam of an Exige is a haven for all sorts of wildlife. In fact it’s probably going to inspire a whole David Attenborough series.

This is one of the funniest threads I’ve read in ages !

I like spiders.But I’m not cleaning your garage floor.Cheers

Apparantly shoe shops are traditionally a home of very large and hairy spiders.They are the sort which are particularly sensitive to the smell of credit cards.Best avoid them.

Nice try.

Has anyone noticed how Pesky normally pop-up when a thread gets a little heated and says something diplomatic.

MatthewI take it that you are not married, otherwise you would know that when it comes to domestic matters, only one person per household controls the broomstick [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/grin.gif[/image]As to “diplomacy”, my little cherub learnt it all from me, whilst watching me have regular “discussions” with the neighbours “over the fence” [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]
