Hi all , haven't found a snake in an engine yet BUT, me and a couple of mates were loading an old customline in the bush in S.A and a 8 ft king brown hopped out from under the front guard as we loaded it onto a trailer. I was pushing on the windscreen pillar so I got a pretty close look at him. He went one way I went the other. The locals weren't as forgiving as I was though. Cheers .Pete.
