My sister recounted an interesting story to me last night. Apparently, on returning to her car from a shopping trip, she noticed a few strands of hair-like material sticking out of the exhaust pipe.
She decided to tug on the strands and was most surprised to pull out what she described as an entire horse's mane. The material was, she reckoned, silvery-grey in colour, too fine to be rope, and about a metre long overall.
Assuming nobody had shoved this stuff up the pipe when she was shopping, what could it be? My only theory is that it is the catalytic converter breaking up, but for some reason I always though these were made from a honeycomb structure that broke into tiny pieces?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Luke
