I was sat in traffic on my way home from work as usual today when i noticed some ants crawling on the top of my dash!!

I must of squashed about 6 of them on the way home and missed a couple as well. It was dark when i last went out in it but i will check tomorow to see what is going on.

Anyone else ever encounted such a thing?

I wouldn't mind but their gonna cause an accident if they dont behave! i cant squash them and drive! :-

I think its probably where i nearly pushed the passenger floor up into the car when i tried jacking on the original front jacking point, it pushed a badly welded plate up into the car! (i did not weld it, was like it when i got it, honest :fear: )

Must get round to welding it up properly!

i think the bit you call the front jacking point isnt a jacking point proper but rather i think someone on here said for moving the empty shells around the factory, so even when sound they shouldt be used to jack the car, because you get big dents in the floor, i assume youre talking about the little 1"x2"ish plates on the floor pan in each corner?

Anyway good luck with the ants, hope you havent got a nest in the car somewhere :-
A mate of mine once had a very sheddy chrysler sunbeam with rats in it! He first suspected it when he noticed little teethmarks in the rear seats and handbrake cover!
THe nearest ive got to nature personally was yesterday when i hit a pigeon at 60mph. I now have a red stripe going up the roof to match the ones going up each side of the jet black! Also a few feathers still to be removed from the roof rail...

I had a moth in the back of the Polo for weeks! Every now and then it would fly up the back screen trying to get out, so i'd stop, open the boot and it would disappear! Same thing again next time. Stupid creature.

As for car-pets, hmmm, i don't know! You need something big enough to see, but not so big that it gets in the way of the driving. :grin:

I would want a helper monkey, that way you could take a nap, have a meal, or have a phone conversation and the helper monkey could drive for you, or if the monkey was naughty you could pull over to the side of the road and spank, what?! Oh, coming Mother...
