Title: 'Kin cold.!!!!!!!!!
Post by: amigov6 on 24 March 2008, 22:45:04
Just about managed to wash the Mig today but it was a struggle. The water was freezing on the roof/boot as i tried in vain to shammy it off. Done alot of running about this weekend & it was filthy, i could'nt leave it 'cos i'm a tart!
    At least the muck's off. :D

We had a mixed day of snow/rain/wind, but the temp stayed up, even to almost double figures at one point

Was going to do a tractor oil change and look at MV6.  Auto Addict rang, and gave me a little job to do, then by time I'd done that it started to snow, so I stayed in.

You have to be beware what these car washers use to clean your pride & joy. Some of the supermarket outfits use the brandname washing up liquid. NEVER put that on your car EVER. Plus their shammying leaves something to be desired. Tried it once & ended up doing the whole thing properly when i got home. Best wash your own car or entrust it to a tart like me!!! :D
     Yeah i know i'm a bit particular to say the least. I HATE mucky cars.
   No need for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-)

Don't think i'd have a problem "looking" at the MV6, i could sit & look at one for ages, can't afford one though so i'm making the best of what i've got!!!!!!!! ;D

I'm giving mine the first proper do in a while - I'm having to nip in and out between hail showers... I'm mildly peeved, since none of the local weather reports said anything but "fair".

 The muddy pics are the result of going to York Raceway at the weekend...

Looked out yesterday morning, saw clear blue skies & decided to wash the mig after its inverness run left it white with salt.

Every hour on the hour it bloody snowed all day, till about 3pm.
In a break in the weather, I got the hose, jet wash, bucket, wheel cleaner etc & got stuck in.

was all done & giving the alloys a final rinse when the blizzard started again >:( :'(

then went to feed the beast & got pebble-dashed by a frickin gritter.....aarrgghh
