What fun the car washing was? One poxy hose of around 3m in length!

Glad I took a sponge/bucket...come to think of it they are still there. Anybody going to own up?

there were a couple of buckets there when I got there, remembered my sponge, which I then gave to someone else.
A very nice man in a white EVO even gave me some of his shampoo so I could was the car properly

Haha, i went there with low expectations (a hose was a luxury!) so went well prepared smile

What did you expect, an army of skantily clad wash girls with sheepskin mops and two buckets each!? laugh

3m of hose, damn someone must have nicked some by the time I got there! I was just glad to find the place after half an hour touring the entire NEC. I seem to had made a mistake following the Piston Heads signs!

I have a white Exige, but not the one that was there last night - there (will) be 2 at the show. The one you saw last night is a normally aspirated car, and when my car eventually gets there (long story) but in time for the show then there will be two smile Mine's an "S" (supercharged)...so we have the best colour for the car, and the best of both worlds for the engine.
