Jim Bell Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 His posture is defensive. His hands are held between his body and the aggressor, poised with his own camera ready to take a photograph in retaliation. He will calm slightly once he has consumed his tea. brownnova, davidfowler2000, Lacquer Peel and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Dangerously close to you? Well yes, but they've skipped right past me to get there! Anyway, they know where they can get a poo stop and a brew on the way home. There's a resident Volvo in my street and it doesn't bite. sporty-shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I've had similar before in a zx where the fuel sender seal had warped. Anything over 3/4 a tank had it all come out the top. Did it once at BP... At least its economical so you won't need to put fuel in it much oh no wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
