Steve TDI Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Working nights. Everyone saying "i'm going to have a can when I get in" or "i'm off straight to bed" me.... "i'm going to wash my car " It was only 6am when I got back.Plenty of times in the dark. Dark and rain. Having to use hot water to stop it freezing over when i'm leathering it off due to it being so cold.Plus many more that I can't remember.

richdavs Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 wash my car every friday afternoon without fail, rain or snow. and if i hear 'you can do mine after' or 'you'll wash the paint off' many more times, im gona go insane lolbut the weirdest place... well, i remember once when i had my clio, id spent ages washing it on a friday and it looked perfect. but me and the misses went somewhere on the saturday and it meant going down a narrow lane. well a 4x4 came the other way, and of course they arent bought to go offroad so she wouldnt move into the side. and as it was a woman (lol only joking) she couldnt reverse back so i ended up having to reverse back and into the side but got it muddy. so with a bottle of pop, i emptied it and used it to wash the mud off with water from a stream and a napkin lol. just till i got home and washed it properly. sad i know, and the misses thought i was mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
