Very Sad Day

[MannClan]

my (our) van has been on the drive since we returned from Spain at the end of Feb 2019. Took it out for an MOT and its been round the ring road twice - obviously very essential !!!

today i found the following item ........

growing out of the windscreen rubber !!!!!!! (the grass not the spoon)

didn't know if i should laugh or cry.

 

[Janine]

I have got seedlings growing in the hab door seal. Thought I would leave them to see what they grow into

 

[irnbru]

Look at it as the shoots of new beginnings.

So your growing your own grass you could have a lot of new friends on here soon

Call it a micro-herb ..... finely shred it, toss it over some fish and voila....nouvelle cuisine

Not totally surprised if you haven't used the van for 2 years!

You should let it grow, it will shed baby motorhomes....

 

[vin0114]

my van's just covered with sh&te

 

[Jim]

Bit of grass, we can beat that. If you are unlucky enough to spend autumn in Wales, these grow in about a week!

Nice cooked in garlic butter and on toast.

 

[pelican]

We've got leaks

 

[The general]

Sad not be able to use it , but it’s only an object . Life more important .

 

[Jaws]

On a serious note, I have seen windscreens cracked and rubber seals ruined by grass growth.
I would urge anyone suffering to get the bits removed asap !

Male sure your scuttle drains clean aswell

 

[Janine]

Well, it just got sadder - I have just checked on my crops and only one seedling has survived

 

[MisterB]

Sorry, but IMHO, what a daft headline to the thread ....

Why thread starters can't put the actual subject of the thread in its title is a bit strange to me !!

 

[Hymie]

Saw our van for the first time in four months yesterday, been sitting since December 2019, should have taken a picture cos its turned from white to green.

Thinking of putting a coat of varnish over it and changing the colour on the V5, its gonna be a bugger to scrape it clean once we can access it properly.

Whilst in Germany?

Nope, BIL garden on the way home from Germany, only cracked a rear light in Germany apart from me being broken.

 

[Aerialmark]

With not using our MH for a while and can't see when we will be able to use it again we have converted it and done a pretty good job

 

[Gizmouk]

That reminds me, I must go and mow the window seals

 

[movan]

.... and I'm gonna sit in one of my cupboards to soak my piles.

 

[Conrad J]

You won't get through EU customs with that, unless you have a plant passport!
