'Kin cold.!!!!!!!!!
« 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".
