It's probably wrong to laugh at other peoples misfotune, but the carnage I witness each time I go through the monkey enclosure cracks me up.
Made it through relatively unscathed but the car in front had the rear washer unscrewed and about a foot of rubber hose pulled through. It was mounted
above the tailgate so I assume it's broken somewhere in the roof lining... There are warnings everywhere that your car will get damaged, but I
reckon most people expect an aerial or bent wiper blade.

A lot of years ago I went there with my partener at the time in her car which had a rubber spoiler on the back. And guess what ! Yea a monkey bit a
big chunk out of it ! It wasnt funny at the time but there was a reminder there for a few years .and so funny telling everybody who wanted to know
what had happened to the spoiler ! Certainly an entertaining place

The monkeys attack certain cars. Rumor has it, they are collecting enough bits build a complete car, they then plan to bust out of the enclosure and
drive to Scotland. GCHQ are on the case and monitoring all communications between the monkey gangs.
One word of advice I have for them is don't use Renault coil packs for the escape vehical, as I guarantee they won't get to the M5.

No change I'd take any car through there, although electircifing the exterior of the car would be amusing

Don't blame you, I was twitching a bit as I drove through, but not much they can pull off a jeep. Just got a few teeth marks in the washers and
aerial.

Maybe they got the idea from the Colditz glider. Other advice: Resist the urge to moon out the window on the motorway as it will only bring unwanted
attention.

I remember going thru and some moron went thru in a 4x4 with a couple of bikes on the back, lights, reflectors ripped off, seats torn, spare tyre
cover torn! He drove around the outside of everyone in a rush to get out but it was too late.

The fools that ignore the signs and pop food on the roof of there cars get the worst if this.
When I went one was enjoying flicking the roof aerial, the little bugger dragged the aerial back as his mates came by let it go so it smashed them in
the face.... Naughty little monkey!

Oddly enough my funniest experience was some 4x4 owning a-hole who had already cut up a fair few people in his brand new Range Rover. He ended up in
front of me and they just went for it and tore it to shreds. Air vents, wing mirrors, wipers, anything they could get a grip on got the treatment.
On the other hand, we got a monkeys butt print on our car windscreen and that was it...

The exact same thing happened to my dad's car, they bit a massive chunk out of the rubber spoiler on one of the sides. This happened about 25
years ago and I still laugh now when I think about it.

I had a customer a couple of months ago who phoned asking if I could get her a couple of washer jets. She'd been to Knowsley and the monkeys had
ripped them off. "No problem. I'll order a pair, call in sometime tomorrow" Then I call the dealer who, without looking the part
number, say he's not got any. He knows this because he sold them all the week before (8prs) to people who'd had them... ripped out at
Knowsley. '
