sounds like she's all sorted now,awesome job all the way through mate

 

[GRPAVL]

Decided now that its complete that I would take it out and give it a wash so i could give it a good cut and polish.

Went inside to get the shammy and come back out and a flock of seagulls must have past over in the 10 seconds I was gone.

Honestly ive never seen so much crap on teh roof and back of a car ... time to rewash it again .....

LOL,

Did you see all the nice native trees around my place? We have wood pigeons that like those trees and the berries/fruit they provide.

I liken it to a blitzkreig attack during WW2 by the Stuka dive bombers. It's bloody unbelievable.
