Once Washed ...
Does anybody else's car attract any amounts of flies? or is it just cos they're flying around my $hit heap?
Oh and while i'm at it, washed today and fooking raining as per usual!

I see that in the warm weather i actually get billions of flies landing on my car!
its really strange 
maybe its due to the fact that my car is white?
