Decisions, decisions...
« on: 25 November 2012, 09:55:09 »

Do I go outside and freeze to death washing the car properly, or do I take it down the road to the Romanians?

Freeze to death and do it properly is my vote. You know you want to.  :)
A cup of tea/coffee halfway through will warm you up again.  :y

Agreed. The one and only time I've let the Kosovans / Romanians near it they had clearly dropped the sponge in the gravel a few times during the procedure. >:(

That's why I recommend option 3. Don't bother.  ;) You've only had it a few weeks. Can't need a wash already. ;)

Would be nice to to quickly wash the car then drive it into a heated double garage , sadly "quickly" and heated garage wont be an option  ::) , slowly and freezing cold is  ;D

Is it cold out in deepest Northamptonshire then. Not made it out of the bath, let alone outside.

The thought of it being cold, I may just let some water out, and top back up with hot - just dont tell my physio  :-X
