Finally got a few little bits for the FIAT yesterday, went out after work to do a bit of spannering only to find someone or something had beaten me to it...

Whilst I'm sure squirrels are probably equally as capable as your average Quickfit employee I might just check over the engine bay and check nothing has been chewed!

I'm just struggling to figure out how the little bugger got in there! The bonnet wasn't shut but it was down, my only guess is crawling up from behind the under tray.

That squirrel isn't going to be happy when he comes back looking for those nuts.

You better make sure he doesn't key your car in retaliation.

We'll if I can't get to the shops I've now got visions of something like this but with the Coupe bonnet and some nuts. Though I'm not sure how nice pressed squirrel with added spark plug will be, those bonnets are bloody heavy!
