NOOOOOOO! It makes me cry.

I know people lead busy lifestyles etc, but, REALLY!?

The black Phantom is gorgeous, registration "7 **" - I wouldn't put a fiesta through the local hand-wash, never mind a Rolls! Come to think of it, I've seen a whole array of luxury vehicles going through. frown

Anyone else admitting to this crime?

I am sure he had enough money not to worry.

Alright Jim!

As per the above...I don't think Wes has to worry about that sort of thing!

You could always leave a flyer on his windscreen...he's always leaving it parked about town.

Ross - small world! 'Wes', do you know him? I've often seen it parked up down Castlegate.

Two Ferrari's queued up together - must have been quite something! Were you in convoy with the 348 or?

I hear that some places are 'up to speed' now with techniques etc but, I still couldn't hand it over to anybody else.. I know that all my kit is fresh, its clean (and not contaminated from previous uses), and, it will not strip any previous protection or damage wheels/trim! My alu window trims are heavily tarnised from a previous life because of strong TFRs at the car-wash. Fail.

Yes and no, Tamore. smile I just can't get my head around wanting to take your £200k+ car through there! Maybe I've looked into it far too much.. As others have said, "enough money not to worry."

I'll be quiet.

They arn't exactly going to wash it themselves are they.

Well off people are normally tight aswell, so they arn't going to spend £100 getting someone to valet it every week.

I think it was Jay Leno who said that hand washing an E Type Jaguar was like bathing a beautiful woman. Your hands were likely to end up in the most interesting places. I am sure that is true of a Phantom as well!!

Went through there today. Great lads, those Kosovans. At least Wesley never put his Enzo through!
