I used a car wash once, after being offroad at Yarwell.

The woman doing the pre-wash shook her head in disbelief, and took quite some time

As I went in I saw her jetwashing the floor behind me, as it was covered in lumps of mud

I had to jet wash mine the other day as I went through a few puddles and got both the sidesteps and the mudflaps dirty. Incidentally the caravan was also splattered at the front which mean't that it had to be cleaned also!
I think that in addition to dog owners having to clean up the sh it from their animals that farmers should also have to ensure that the roads, particularly at harvest times should be cleaned by them so that we considerate road users do not have to put up with damaging dirt and excrement on our pristine cars.  Ralph

Try coming with some interesting subjects on the forum instead of stupid egoistic crap, or at least follow the rules of the forum by placing your boring stuff in  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I would certainly put car washing as Maintenance. Methinks Mr Grumpy needs to take a chill pill 

cleaning the car is maintenace based so it in the right section

AndyC and Chicken George keep it polite

And that goes for anybody else am trying to watch a movie  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I quite agree that car washing is maintenance . However the chicken needs to make his contributions on a non-personal, non-family basis, and which are not filled with baloney. Alternatively put them in the Off Topic section where they can duly ignored by all that do not want to encourage him.

Otherwise, I was mealy responding to the chicken’s rudeness  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

By the way the machine made a pretty good job of the car, not so good on the wheels and a few places like around the edges of the top of the back bumper, but for £6 I was happy. Finn sat in the back laughing his head off so it was worth it. At work
