lobotomy Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 For me, a day off + a dirty car usually means a good opportunity to give the car some TLC and get it sparkling for another couple days.So this morning (even though it's anout 0°C) I decided to get my bucket ready and run out the hose, After doing that I looked up and half the sky is blue skies and sunshine the other half is dirty bastarding clouds I decided that it would probably hold out so ran in the house to turn on the water. Then my mom says: "you're not right in your head boy! Washing your car out in that" I replied: "It's just a tad cold, I'll mix in some hot water"She gestures to the window, and low and behold it's a blizzard of hailstones, there's about and inch outside now, looks to be turning to sleet now though It's always the same... car hasn't had a proper coat of polish and a wax since the end of the summer!! And it's mocket! And I'm bored stiff with nothing to do!just a rant! Sorry... Quote

paul w Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Ha,fair enough. Mine only gets a quick slosh over only takes half an hr! Bloody skyline and GT4 used to take ages,at least an hr a go! Quote
lobotomy Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Woohoo -- got mine washed earlier, then went and did a flush and changed the bastarding filter! Had to take off the FMIC pipe and near enough cut my arm open about 50 times on the A/C rad, and to be trueful my friend eventually cracked the seal on it so he has to get the credit (damn these people with overly developed forearms!)Think I'm gonna invest in an oil filter relocation kit!
