Unhappy It could be your next Pride And Joy

the veiw through the fence at my work place in nth laverton is into a new car holding yard,closest to me is the ford section,everyday I watch these cars getting covered in fine glass dust blown in from the recycling depot across the road.This depot also attracts an ocean full of seagulls that have taken up residence on the roofs of surrounding buildings mine included,when they take off itseems the first thing they do is crap,these new cars are covered in it and these cars have been there for along time.They do the same to the cars in the employees carpark,but at least we can clean it off.
I wonder what these cars will be like in a few years :
cheers george.

I remember a story saying that Ford brought in a bird of prey to keep the seagulls away a number of years ago. It may not have been Ford and may not be in use today. Better risking 1 big bird crapping on cars than hundreds of smaller ones.
