Well done Rick.

Remember, That engine uses Petrol :mrgreen:

Did you find any spider's or are they still living in there somewhere.  :question:

A good dose of surface spray required b4 I'd get in it.  :eek:

I don't like spider's. :fum:

No That's not the replacement for Cyril,it is the replacement for the Wagon(the car we use to cart one or two Saints to the vets)the replacement for Cyril is still coming,that's going to be a long drawn out process.

I couldn't believe ANYONE could fit that much shite and rubbish into a car,I filled a 120 Ltr Recycling Bin,I hve a Shop vac with a 20 Ltr Barrel for the dirt,I filled that up three times,still plenty more Detailing to go yet

Spiders, based on your report, all the seats would be coming out for inspection and a litre of outdoor surface spray for the doors, wheel arches, boot etc, then leave it open for a few days to dissipate the smell. Bloody white tail's, too. They're real bas***ds, as you well know.

Mines a 5-door but there should be a lot of interchangeable parts. Let me know and ill see if I need it and if its worth salvaging from mine. No charge for parts if you could be bothered shipping it.

I need to remember to be more descriptive ( what did you pay for her ) :D

I cant see Saints fitting in that car to well, two might just fit in the back but they'll be leaning over your shoulder dribbling everywhere but I'm sure Rick is well and truly used to Saint Bernard saliva by now :)

I used to just squeeze my Malamute into the mini and there would be saliva from gearstick to dashboard and all down the windows :rolleyes:

Yeah it always needed a good clean after Rah was in the mini, most of the time he would be in the Transit van but if I had it full with the next days job then the mini was it.

The bulldog wasn't so bad as he liked sitting on the floor which was good as he dribbled everywhere even more :rolleyes:
