How unlucky is this ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Little Foot:
Bad luck that would suck big time. This would put a big dent on a good holiday  :sad10:.might be a good idea for every one to read this post and not park or set up a camp under a tree..A lesson learnt for all.. :BangHead: :angry5: :BangHead:

grantm:
Yep I look up now before stopping, never camp under trees out of habit but as the title was just unlaucky and bad timing, but all fixed now

POD:
Dont park under trees full stop if possible..... My previous Subaru Forester suffered major paint damage from tree sap that dribbled down two of my doors while camping somewhere last year. Didnt think much of it at the time and should have tried to remove it straight away, but after washing and checking into it a week or two later I found the gum dribbles had eaten through the paintwork complete.... nearly down to the metal! Very costly... :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :cussing:

Retreat:
It could have done serious damage to someone's head had they been standing in the doorway at the time.

You don't have to park it under the tree to have problems. Many years ago in Nth Queensland I parked our Subaru next to a coconut tree. My wife was concerned about the coconuts in the tree falling on our car but I explained that because the tree was on a 60 deg lean any falling coconuts would fall harmlessly 10 mts from the car. That night a nut dislodged and bounced about four times down the trunk and hit the drivers side door. I always ask  the missus where to park now.
