Bug Watch - Out of San Francisco

We discovered recently that Ita is a cold blooded killer. Well, of bugs anyway. Most vehicles are aerodynamically designed so that the air flows up over the bonnet and windscreen and down the back. This usually provides a safe outlet for the majority of bugs to avoid being splatted as they navigate busy highways.

However, Ita isn't most vehicles. She has a conveniently placed big box above the windscreen which acts as a massive bug swatter along the highways. We will take photos along the road to show here progress but the early prognosis is good. I'm looking forward to getting into the real sweatbox of the middle of America where the bugs get bigger and the roads get wider.

Watch this space.....
