If you're not careful Dan, you will wear away the pain on Rory! Once every month or two is fine  :thumb:

What! No No No - Mr car wash OCD me washes weekly for top results! ::)

Mines clean for ACE :thumb:

P.S. i hope Rory isn't in pain! ;D ;)

I used to have OCD when the car was new, as time goes on, i care less and less. I like seeing a dirty car, shows it's being used properly and the owner doesn't have time to clean it!

But mine's still clean at the minute!  ;D

Don't worry...... yesterday's rain didn't do a very good job at cleaning my car yesterday, either, and unless I can sneak into a car wash this evening, that's the only de-griming it will get before staging an appearance tomorrow evening!

so glad I spent 3 hours polishing Rory, he is now sitting in the corner looking up at the lightening and VERY VERY LOUD thunder and torrential rain! :fear:

I have found an outside tap at our office/warehouse.

so I might take a hose, bucket and cleaning stuff, change of clothes and do Rory in the afternoon I can then dry him off in the warehouse and then race him him and straight into the garage ! :thumb:

this could be my best bet, cos it gets dark now at 6pm  :o

roads were gr8, weather was VERY bad  :thumbd:

still, got the chance to give Rory a great test in the extreme wet and have to say how amazing he was and how confident he made me feel.

Went past Duxford on A505 and thought of you guys, I do love the roads up in Norfolk, the A505, the A14 and the A11 are lovely, then hit a few rural B roads and never saw another car for a few miles and Rory decided that was the time to stretch his legs  :whistle:

one hairy moment as we came down a hill and I saw the road awash with water at the bottom, I checked my speed, gripped the wheel and hoped Rory knew how to water ski  ::)

wanted to have a few photo shots ALA DF style, but with the rain it wasn't happening  :'(

downside he is now filthy 24 hrs after having a good bath... he can wait till the weekend for his next rubber ducky moment!
