I've got a tiny (2mm*2mm) hole in the paint on my white roof. Must have been some random stone or an agitated blind woodpecker. Can see the silver of the chassis beneath. What kind of white paint is it so that I can go and paint over it? Also what black is Cosmos Black, cos I've got a mile long drive which has just been regravvelled and I'm blatantly gonna get some nasty stone chips soon!

Cosmos black is cosmos black what else could it be???

Get a touch up stick from your dealer, mine's on order.
I suggest you get a bra to wear for your driveway only, you don't want to be seen out wearing one of those in public

The bra IS for the car.......definitely dont wear it out in public Spanky !!

spanky2k · May 20th, 2002, 08:13 AM

Hahahaa!! I don't think bras really suit me, I prefer the 'au naturel' look.

Errrr....just do what you've always been doing until you passed your test - DRIVE SLOWLY

Besides you should be OK on your drive as chips usually come from things been thrown up from other cars in front. Just don't follow anyone

Does that include animals? I was in a Discovery a while ago following a big random 4x4. A squirrel decided that jumping down infront of a big car was a good idea and was promptly sent flying over one car into the windscreen of the other before flying over our heads onto the road where no doubt some third car soon flattened it. Poor bugger.

Hmmm... he won't be doing that again!

Fair point, but animals are usually soft so shouldn't do too much damaged, unless you're unlucky and the squirrels buck teeth hit your paintwork

The cooper is fantastic at swerving to avoid wildlife. I only this weekend sucessfully dodged a rabbit down a country lane.
With experience your dodging abilities will improve

Use the "force" spanky
