Brmm Brmm or The Man from Japan

At work, we have an employee of the month system. The winner gets various rewards including a special car park - right beside the main entrance and sheltered. Its well away from the building site adjacent spot that the likes of me parks in.

This month the winner does not have a car. So the parking spot got raffled off for charity. I was quite happy to throw a couple of bucks in for the charity but I really wasn't sure that I wanted to win. That building site generates a lot of dust - my car is very dirty. Then lets not forget the seagulls and the salt spray that go with a seaside location. If I had won that spot I'd really have had to clean my car. That is too much to ask for parking convenience.

But today as I was walking back to my car, I noticed that I had grass growing from inside a wheel arch. Yep, that green stuff that they use to make lawns from. It was well rooted in too as I found when I tried to pull it loose. Perhaps now I have to clean my car.

Yes...
Using a weedeater would be hazardous to the paintwork. A very small flymo perhaps?

And a flymo wouldn't be hazardous to the paintwork?!

Only if you used the standard hovercraft size. Something with the cutting area of a coffee mug could work okay. But getting any of them into the wheel arches would still be tricky.

For what its worth, the grass was growing in a nook created by the way the wheel arch and the side skirt meet. A mower to get at that would have to be smaller than a 10c piece.

Interesting images one gets from this.
