It’s just a car , no point in being precious about it !

On my way home this aft , came through my local town centre and saw this Disco 4 in the distance , intrigued as to what was attached to the back of it , I caught up with it and lo and behold ..........

Picture the nastiest, most scabby rotten corroded wheel barrow you could hope to see , surfaces like 40 grit emery cloth covered in barnacles type smoothness , worthless you would have thought ( maybe he was on his way to the tip , though not the one a mile away from where he was as he was going in the opposite direction !) and to top it off a roll of scabby rusty fencing wire dropped over the wheelbarrow handles.

All this , sat on his bumper, and ratchet strapped to his roof bars, nothing whatsoever between vehicle and barrow , it is sat against the entire painted surface of the tailgate , top edge of the roof and flat against the rear window glass Shocked
I can’t imagine what state the back end will be in when the turd is unstrapped , I was actually cringing whilst on my way home , 6 or so miles of lovely cambered lumpy bumpy B roads , I could see the thing moving /sliding , bouncing within the straps Big Cry

Quite simply why would you even do that Rolling Eyes

Or maybe it’s just me being an anal Censored Laughing

Thanks for the image tweak dsl, I couldn’t work out how to do that Embarassed

I get what you are all saying but the mess you have displayed Laughing in your own vehicles is on the inside and nothing a hoover wouldn’t sort.
This is literally the most viewed part of the vehicle and the paint damage that must have occurred can only be sorted by , well , painting it , not to mention the glass.
Surely whilst merrily tightening down his ratchet strap the crunching and grating noises would have made most people think , nah stupid idea , not worth it. ( not that I would ever get beyond a fleeting momentary thought of butting a wheelbarrow up against my paintwork never mind actually then strapping it against it and driving around like that Shocked )

Each to his own I guess Neutral

Oh , and I love the baby wipe dispenser you pictures moo , so realistic , but obviously not as compact as the normal wet wipe packets Laughing

There is a difference between not being precious, and willingly damaging your own car. Shocked
