Doesn't it do your head in ! you wash and polish your car then the bird's use it as target practice !!!!!

I have the same trouble with dust even in the garage the Black one is only shiny Black for a day or so.

Never going to buy another black car ever ever again absolutely hate the colour now even considering getting rid of the car for another colour.

I have actualy taken a liking to Silver!

Anyone want a dusty ZT260?

I know what you mean ! i've had a lot of black bikes and they are a pig to keep clean ????

Acshirley I assume you mean the feathered variety, there are some other types of birds around here, the lesser tescoed *** for example that can also use our cars for target practice with all sorts of self or push propelled monstrosities

Keith · 12th April 2007, 20:54

Rats! the swear filter means we can't discuss the common blue ***, cold *** etc
Good thing I have Goldfinches, Herons, Pheasants, Partridges, the occasional Peacock. Wood Ducks Doves and too many Pidgeons to watch whilst I have Breakfast most mornings!

Keith · 12th April 2007, 20:55

I think I will move this to the Social forum

Edit
Or maybe not, someone beat me to it

yeah i mean the feathered variety !! i live on an island so they are mostly seagull's !! so you know how much mess they can make !!!!

As you can Imagine Keith My cars get quite Plastered with Bird **** here living right on the Coast.
Mainly SeaGulls but quite a few others as SWMBO loves to feed all the smaller Varieties in the Garden.
But the Gulls make a real mess some days.

I am not to bothered about bird poo that is cleanable
I had an incoming Peacock land on the roof immeadiately above my Velux window to my office the Shadow alone followed by the considerbly crump as it landed made me think I was taking fire from somewhere! Later I noticed it had dislodged a ridge tile, don't think I want one of those crash landing like that on a car

Mind you we had a horrendous hailstorm in 2005 which put dozens of sizeable dents all over my Picasso all cars now live under cover as much as possible

Yeah, we live on the coast and seagulls are a real pain in the butt.
Washed and polished the 75 on Sunday afternoon and by 5pm that
imaginary 'herd of elephants' had sh*t all over the roof, back window and boot lid.
This herd of elephants, was in fact, one lone seagull. How do they manage to stay airborne, carrying all this ballast
