My thoughts exactly. Also use the rope as a winch, looped round the tow ball, on recovery. Keeping the car on firm ground. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Our local paper a few weeks ago. Huntsman spiders cause serious accidents over here, especially when they are as large as one's outstretched hand!

Years ago a colleague was driving to work & his hair felt out of place (a chrome dome) so brushed his hand over his head then returned his hand to the steering wheel. A moment later seeing a very large huntsman sitting on the back of his hand, on the steering wheel, looking back at him!


A teenager in our Unit. They are very hard to catch as they are so fast. The spider that is! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
