Its silly really.. loads to do around the house and garden, yet I'm worrying about when I'm going to slot in a couple of hours to wash and polish the car for the Weekend.

Still.. Mr Sheen's prabably been doing his all week

Anyone else got the bucket and sponge at the ready then...?

Cheers
Matt.

Have no time this evening

Will find some nice Lithuanian chaps on the way out tomorrow afternoon!

....have to keep a close eye so they don't spray the entire interior with Halfords "Cockpit Shine"...

Sunlight hits yr dashboard from the wrong angle and burns yr retinas.

I'm not going to have time, but I was out in the rain (Getting some new rear tyres - they're bloody slidy when they're new) yesterday which seems to have done the trick

I have left the LeMans dust on the car as protection. I will leave the car out in th rain tonight to clean it off and then maybe a quick rub down with a damp shammy in the morning.

Was just about to venture out here in sunny Andover and give the car a clean to get the muck off from Sundays cloudburst and the heavens opened, so back to the PC to do some work instead! Maybe I will wait until tommorrow now!

Well, I have admitted defeat

Tonight I tried to fit the new springs to 'Copenhagen' (I broke one leaving my drive in the usual manner ) but the lack of a suitable 5/8th socket (got one too long - got one too short ) has buggered it up.

So its the blue shopping trolley for me

OK, I admit defeat - seeing as it looks like it's going to lash it down in the next 5 minutes, the car stays dirty.

Even better, its going to Fernies on Tuesday, so I wont need to clean it after getting back from P'Fest as I am sure they will give it the usual excellent once over - yippee!!!
