PS.... Thanks to HEL flexible Brake hoses for their help in getting Nellie this far !!
Phil,
what happened? I didn't see you after Saturday morning, there were rally cars heading in all directions across most of North Devon heading in all directions. (We should keep the road book it's going to go down in folklore!!!)
Phil - shame you didn't get to do the whole thing, but after that episode with the mouse, I assume next year you'll be seeded somewhat higher??
John - ta for the pix. Looks to be an interesting event. Maybe someone should use that roadbook as a basis for a club weekend and call it the Barf Rally :)
see post 36 Griff.........

Oh, John! :cool:
Let me in on the secret then!
No Chris - keep him in suspense!
What's the best way to get rid of the lesser spotted 'Garage Mouse'?Quote:

Was advised to set them on the edges of the garage where wall meets floor and it did the trick.
Good luck!!
Thanks for that Gerry,Quote:

Chris, a couple of years ago, one of your squatters relatives made its home in the 'V' of the engine of the Stag over the winter, so the following year I put a trap there bated with a bit of Mars bar, the theory being, as with the consistency of a Rolo, that it sticks particularly well to the spikes on the trap, and the little b-----s can't knock it off before bingo, got it.
When I went to open it up in the spring, we found this very stiff, very dead, object with no further evidence!! mind you I think it sent its freinds to lodge in the Fuse box of my Citreon C5. It was jammed packed with Ash seeds, and it had just been serviced!!! Perhaps they never lifted the bonnet?

Thanks Robin,Quote:

The sticky type of chocolate product makes sense now, I understand.
I've got the ex Tom Ransom Allora twin cam here under a couple of sheets in a nice dry (indoors) place.
A mouse (probably the same one) had made a hole in the sheets and stashed the space between the cam covers with sycamore seeds.
I carefully hoovered the seeds out and packed the space so that nothing could get in. The mouse hasn't been back.
I really need to get rid of it though, it'll be one of my brother's cars wiring looms next?
Well, that worked a treat Gerry.Quote:

Aaah, but where's the rolo, or Milk Tray?
Answer, his mate came along afterwards and nicked it, so you might still have a problem!
Glad the choc worked!
My squatters came as a pair so you may not be finished yet....
Thanks John, Gerry,
I've got two other traps armed, and I'll reset the first one again.
John, I can see the choc parts thrown far and wide.
How right you were John.Quote:

This time the choc is still there.
Result then Chris!
