The weathers a joke
I spent 5 hours last night giving the car quick clean, polish and hoover inside etc, then get up this morning and the minute it comes out the garage the heavens open... What a JOKE!

Tell me about it ...
My car was spotless and now my car looks brown. Soon as you wash it though within hours it will be back to brown again.

The idea of using the polish was that the dirt wouldn't stick but that went out the window with the puddles, my car is so low as well that the puddles are even worse.

Spent a few hours myself yesterday, just wiping off the last bits of polish and the gods decide to piss all over my hard work.

The weather does generally suck over here...It's typical, you spend hours giving all you got to the car and it all gets spoilt by the goddamn weather..grr!

well i hate it when it snows in the night, like it did here, and then turns to ice, then when you start your car up in the morning you accidently catch the wind-screen wipers and for a split second pray they dont break or the motor burns out. flippin heck eh, ROLL ON SUMMER
