Build quality tested by monkeys!

This weekend we have been to longleat safari park and the car test facility that is the monkey enclosure!

Our freely survived with no damage or missing bits. All that needed attention was the front washer jets alignment!

One monkey was adamant that he wanted the front jets and was biting them and trying to twist them off (They have bloody big teeth by the way).

Other cars didn't fare so well. The car in front of us was a Mitsubishi hire car full of Japanese tourists and it got pulled apart and to add insult shat on!
The park sensors got ripped off, rear wiper arm was damaged, piece of trim gone and even the number plate was picked apart!

Lots of other cars got damaged as well.
So well done Land rover for building a monkey proof car.

I just obey the long haired generals commands!!!

At the bypass road for the enclosure I was told that if there was any damage she would sort it out!

She had a smug look about her for the rest of the afternoon.


Oldgeezer brand new tyre gone . Wow.
