steve b Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Not wanting to wander off too far but a mate of mine has a very late S3 LTWT and the rear X-member has infill sections on the outer ends as the chassis is a civilian 88" . It also has a standard S3 bumper and civvy style axle drive members and halfshaft end caps . It's reg. is A****** and it all looks pretty original to me - one of the last maybe before the 90 rocked up ? cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigj66 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 They don’t reuse the nest the following year but will come back to the nest site. You can get powder to put down that will deter them. My workshop is guarded by it. I’ve got it everywhere in the joists. Your woodpile provides a ready source of nest building materials and winter hibernation for the queens 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
