Okay, I have a slightly odd request, but don't worry, you won't be stood there with a sponge or anything! I'm looking for a PHer in the vicinity of me (Fulham, London) who has a driveway or similar space with a hosepipe available where I could wash my car on Sat. Like many people in town, my P&J is stored in a car park where there is no hose or anything that I could use, it's too far for me to lug endless buckets of water to, and the main road I live in is really to busy to be able to park in front of my place and do it (I tried it a few weeks ago, running my garden hose through the house, but it was a bit of a non-starter).

Any help would be much appreciated and there'd be a beer in it for you! tongue out

If you don't mind driving up to Harrow you can use my pressure washer. It's on a big driveway so you can have the wheels off too if you like, I have a proper garage-sized trolley jack etc.

SE3 is probably too far away for you - but you are welcome to drop by if you don't get any closer offers.

Mr Spock, do you drive along the road with northwick park golf course in the mornings? Around 8?

Just saw your profile pic, sure I've been going in the opposite direction for months, sometimes in the ferrari but usually in my volvo lol

No, there is another black GS (may be a 4200) which I see down the Kenton Road fairly often. I commute on the bike down to the A406 via Neasden. You will probably have seen my wife in her Citroen though smile

i do have a polish hand wash outfit v near me who are good, but having been going there with my previous cars, it does take a bit of a toll on the paintwork as they don't use the two bucket method, so i'd rather do it myself if possible to be on the safe side

yeh mate thats near the harbour club.. the big warehouse looking gym with loads of milfs in 4x4's

ill draw you a map as im nice.. its not on munster road I was being stupid.

they had a hose last time i went, but was a wee while ago. failing that where i used to live at A there are some other PHers who might let you into ours to use the water. another 355 owner, lambo's, 430, rr, and hamster.
