The nice Polish peeps who usually wash my car for a fiver aren't allowed to work at the moment,so the wagon was salt encrusted and looking a bit neglected.

I haven't washed a car in a very long time and I'll never begrudge them a five spot ever again. I was foundered.

Reminded me of Winter commutes on the bike in times past,when I was almost crying my hands were so cold and painful.

I'll be saving up the dirt for when they start back,from now on. Fork dat for a game of soldiers. :thumbup:

No but it's surely only a matter of time :o

Getting down towards 2mm left on all four, really notice the drop off in how they deal with wet conditions.
