For those who have found a (one) huntsman in their car, I seem to recall hearing that huntsmen pair up (not sure if for life) so if you find and kill one, you probably have its other, very pissed off, mate/partner in the car with you as well.

On that note, safe driving. (and I wonder if they found a nice place to lay their eggs)

oohh that one behind the clock looks nice. yummy

had me a spider in my shower the other nite. it was trying to climb up the wet screen. it kept on falling down. amusing, but SOMEONE(looking in cocos direction) would die. i used to be terrified beyond beleif of spiders when i was younger, (prob because i used to live in a infested house. whenever i went into the bathroom i used to check every possible place a spider could be before showering. uhhh.

my cats name is coco

im so glad to see im not alone. i almost had an accident when a huntsman crawled out onto the sunvisor in front of my face. i swerved off the road into a driveway and jumped out. refused to go within 5 metres of the car until i could see the dead carcass. my mate thought it was hilarious until he realised i was serious and had to find it and kill it before we could go anywhere.

Somehow just having the link the these fella's in this thread didn't seem to be enough.

But they are not as big as they look, that's the dude's sleeve on the right of the picture.

Still big enough but!!

coco, they've probably nested in your airvents, so when you put your heater on full blast their spawn are gonna come flying out at you and sting you to death...

ffs they're just spiders, they're intelligent enought to know that if you f**k with a 6 foot mammal you'll most probably gonna end up gettin squished. they use their venom to hunt shit to eat, and they know they can't eat you. they'll only use it on you if you act like a tard n poke it with a stick or something like that.

Whitetails on the other hand are the bastards of spiders... they'll sting you just to confuse you so they can make a quick retreat, unfortunately their sting makes body parts rot. :(

lmao... :(

id like to see coco in a car during a 45 degree day. He'd be too scared to turn on the air conditioning knowing that... i wonder if he'd rather have a heat stroke than turn on the AC

But like funky said, huntsmen are probably scared more of us than we are of them so im pretty sure if a spider could do a "get-this-human-off-me" dance it would be worse than coco's trademarked one.

My suggestion is to confront your phobia, possibly take a bath with a tub filled with huntsmen... just like on Fear Factor (god i wanna go on that show).

That is just nasty !!

Is that a hunstsman in the picture above ?

I am scared witless of spiders and the biggest ones you get in the uk are about 1/10 that size !! there is no way I could even contamplatedealing with something like that bite or not it is feckin huge !

I once had a spider deop off my sun visor in front of me was about 3cm across including the legs and I nearly crashed my car. I think I'd just pass out if one of those bad boys jumped out on me.

Dont trust little spiders they are sneeky bastards. :)

Big spiders do have a few advantages:

1. its harder for them to hide.

2.you can here them comming (the 8 footsteps)

3. when they bite you its easy to tell. The limb is missing or the puncture marks are the size of bullet holes. :skull:

Yeah we get decent sized spiders at my place all the time, it's an old 2-storey wooden place so there's heaps of places for them to hide and they've had many many years to do so. It's pretty common for us to get spiders the size of my palm, and not surprising to occasionally find one nearly as big as my whole hand. It's farkin excellent when we have exchange students... :bahaha:

When Mum's rellies from England came here a few years back, they spotted a daddy long legs, crapped themselves a bit but after an hour or so they were OK. Then one of them spotted a huntsman (one of the biggish ones that goes out about one knuckle from the palm) on the wall in the bathroom and they very nearly booked into a hotel :D

lmao @ 4ds, funny stuff mate :)

when they byte you

Haha nerd :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
