The weather forecast for tomorrow is for effectively sub-zero temperatures (taking wind chill into account) for most of tomorrow, and not much better on Sunday.  Monday, however, we're looking at 5-6c.

I'll be washing my Golf on Monday then.  And hoping that my dryer arrives before the following weekend.

I've not bothered to sort out any other hosting platform since Photophuckit, so no.  :grin:

Today the weather was less horrible than the last few days, and my new Bigboi dryer arrived yesterday, so today has been lost in a whirl of snow-foam, citrus pre-wash, Gyeon bathe+ shampoo and air drying!

Air drying is the future, I have decided.

Had a demo on the BigBoi mini today at UF, great product! Going to ordering one after Xmas as they have more stock arriving.

Been working on this... the paint was absolutely terrible but got it looking pretty good.. Sorry, look away now if you don't like pimped up Wranglers....  :whistle:

Ha that's what I thought! He'd just bought it, previous owner was pop idol turned soap star and reckon it had spent its entire life at the £6 hand wash....  :shocked:
