How would you wash your 550 Barchetta?

Just spotted this guy pressure washing his 550 Barchetta at the local Esso. The amount of water that went into the interior was astounding!

I hope not, I watched him aghast whilst I filled up my car though!!

Still about £150,000s worth!

Don't particularly see the issue. He isn't spraying it directly into the cabin. I would probably wash it at home with the roof up, but then it's not my car

Witnessed several big waves of water was up over the top of the windscreen as well as spray and a lot of spray whilst washing the side windows and rear deck.

Is that Harry Metcalfe of evo fame in the pic?

He has a 550 Barchetta.

Nooooo, his is a RHD grey on red with an EVO registration.

Harry Metcalfe said there's a German-made replacement available which is good for something like 130mph. I don't know what it looks like, but it couldn't be much worse than Ferrari's attempt.

There's one that looks very Porsche Boxster Spider, I'll see if I can find a picture.

ETA: Can't find a snap, but there are loads of fugly hardtops too...

Not much better, really.
