Default Finally Pulled a Bird!

For those of you that attended the annual meet, you finally got to see my S8 'in the flesh' so to speak. For those who haven't seen it, this is what it looks like:



When I first got the car back in February, I have two nieces (just either side of 30) who told me it was a 'babe magnet'.

Well, true to their description, I've finally managed to pull a bird with it. Unfortunately, like most birds, this one likes to hog the mirror a lot and leaves their sh*t everywhere for you to clean up after them. Legs are also on the skinny side.

What do you think of her?

Is that a blue tit you've pulled Sean. If so you just need another to make a pair

No, a wagtail Nick... but then that wouldn't be as funny.
