The weathers been pretty cr@ppy down here in Norfolk today but for some strange reason I simply couldnt stop myself from washing the car in between snow showers.

I am on night shift at the mo so didnt get out of bed until 15:00 today - but I found this strange compulsion to take the car out of the garage and wash it.

Not only did I successfully wash and shammy the car (in between a succession of snow/sleet showers), but as an additional measure I then put her back in the garage and put an electric heater on for a couple of hours to try and make sure it was as dry as possible.

Two questions:

1. Have I lost the plot?

2. Does it actually do any more harm to put the car away in the garage wet?

Thanks mate, I was starting to think that after having:

'Redecorated' the garage,
painted the garage floor,
cleared everything except essentials out of garage,
screwed sections of carpet to the garage walls (where doors open),
washing car in snow/rain/sleet etc

I was going a bit fruitloop...

Went out to play in the battle bus (Volvo), but its just not the same as some rear wheel action!!!

Must have been something in the air. I would have washed mine if the machine at the filling station had not been out of order.

The answer to the question is in the first line. You come from Norfolk. Yes, you're bonkers!

We probably know the answer to question number 1 .

But what are your opinions on question 2?

Good work fellas - The night is passing much quicker with your entertaining input.

So, am I to understand that these mates of mine who have advised me not to 'put the car away wet', are infact talking out of their toothless ones?
