Ok, so I must be the most pathetic TVR owner in the UK.
Since the rain let up for a while this morning I decided to go out for a thrash in the Cerb. Upon approaching the Cerb I have noticed that a spider the size of a large hamster has made a home in and around my steering wheel. The hoover won't reach into the garage. I had to take the Toyota and buy one of those hand-held 'Dustbuster' type hoovers. Just waiting for it to charge up.
As pathetic as it gets I know. I am just pleased I didn't notice it whilst at warp 7 or I may have leapt from a moving vehicle.

Wuss. 
Once had Mrs Imelda climbing into the back seats of the Subaru, amid much flailing of arms and legs and a flurry of swiftly released seat belt, after she spotted a particularly hairy brute of a spider in the passenger footwell. All the while screaming "Stop the car! Oh my God!
Stop the car!!".
Not the easiest thing to cope with when driving down a twisty A road. Why she didn't just quietly squish the little critter underfoot I'll never know. Apparently she was "too scared"

Hmmm girls blouse springs to mind but must add that your car must be very clean as spiders dislike a dirty environment allegedly !!!
Reminds me when I lived in a cottage with cathedral ceilings lots of woodwork beams etc, sitting watching Acrophobia of all films trying to be cool with fairly new girlfriend until this monster of a spider (OK seemed big) dropped on my lap, talk about c**p myself.

jurdy said: Dust buster! If it was that big you should have called dyno rod. I can sympathise though, I worked in OZ for a time and I had huntsman appear out of an air vent whilst I was driving. Now they are
Aren't they poisonous?
No, the Huntsman is not, but, it resembles the Funnel Web, which is very poisonous.
Correction - ALL spiders are poisonous - it's just that not all of them dish out bites that are fatal to humans. Bit like the daddy-long-legs... their venom is harmful (actually an irritant) to humans, but their sting can't penetrate human skin.
Funny... Mungo and I were talking about spiders... I've got two on my car - one in each wing mirror... as has Mungo. Anyone else?

Still not found it.
May have to get the valet geezers to hunt it down - ha ha.
Have sen some pics of a Huntsman - thank god we don't have any of those.
I have other animal issues as well - a neighbours cat somehow slips into my garage and curls up on the bonnet. It leaves messy paw-prints everywhere and I am convinced the little b'stard has caused a few minor scratches. After failing to find the point of entry I have decided that a metal plate with some cat nosh on it connected to the power supply may convince it that tresspassing is not a good idea.

Have a spider in rear of my Cerb, lovely web patterns! Can't find it, new web each time I get in the car. Busy little blighters!!
Wife was in the car the other day and shouted 'look at the size of those spiders legs'. I told her to either shave or wear a longer skirt for entry/exit to the cerb........
Sorry - couldn't resist
