How am I supposed to polish the car, ready for Japfest? :(
|
Tell me about it, took a bloody day off to do it all today, the car has just come back from the bodyshop covered in dust, the outside ain't so bad but the interior and engine bay are a mess, and thats after they cleaned it, or am I just a fussy bugger.:D

Did mine yesterday, spent ages drying it nicely etc...then this happens!
|
I've been checking the weather the last couple days, it looks like it will be better than today, but does state patchy rain.
Fingers crossed. simb [Edited by simb 2 - 5/16/2003 10:07:23 AM] |
<sigh>
...more of the same over the weekend, I think. Shame - my first track day (Castle Combe) on Monday, and it's going to be wet! :( I'd just bought some PIAA wipers (before the group-buy, by days! :rolleyes: ) and was going to fit those today, but it's raining... Hopefully there will be a dry day next week. My Swissol wax kit arrives today! :D </sigh> |
JUST CHECKED OUT THE BBC WEATHER AND JAPFEST HAS JUST BEEN RENAMED WETFEST !!!!!!!
|
NO NO NO
Lets be positive Its going to be fine :rolleyes: |
There is always a silver lining Fatman. If it is wet you wont wear your tyres out:)
Glad I waxed mine on Tuesday, just got to miss as much of what farmers and sheep leave on the road as possible if I can. Really looking forward to it anyway-whatever! Les :D |
What wax did you use as I want to do my car..
Regards Kev |
Yes - I s'pose there is that point Leslie. Theoretically the Scoob should be (relatively) even better in the wet. I just hope that I'm up to the task!
|
Not looking great is it. :(
Cleaned mine last night as todays forecast looked grotty and I am leaving at bleurgh O'clock on Saturday. Furiously excited though!:D |
Well I'm in Bristol, and its stopped raining and there are a few bright patches. Local forecast for tomorrow is cloudy with sunshine and showers. IE they don't know.
Gonna degrease the engine bay in a mo, then give it a wash. Seems pointless waxing it, in case I get half way and it rains :D See you all tomorrow!!!! :D:D:D:D |
So much for praying....think I'll try blasphemy next.....
weather ...... http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smiley-026.gif |
Just stopped raining long enough for me to give it a quick wash, so much for polishing her and giving the interior a good vac.
Not long now:) |
Andrina If its raining tomorrow, i want my money back:eek::eek::p And we all know what you look like now:) I'd hide if it rains;):D Its probably my fault anyway, i washed my car yesterday:( Dont know why i bothered:rolleyes: Greg |
I'm washing and polishing mine later, my mate has keys to his place of work so we can use the facilities they use to wash the vans, INDOORS!!! ;) The rain isn't going to stop me ;)
|
It will however ensure it looks 'orrible by the time you get to CC. :p

What's with all this griping about wet weather. The 1st time I drove a Scooby was in anger on a rain lashed circuit after 6 dry weeks (greasy) and a Caterham had dropped its sump onto the surface followed by 6 cars sqweegeeing it all around. It was one of the best days of my life. It's why cars have side windows and 4WD.
I know it's nice yo have them look pretty and shiny, but it's more satisfying to use them to the extreme. |
Just fitted a new MAF and original airbox in the rain not a happy bunny at all.
|
I need to do my rear droplinks but i aint lying on a wet floor!
|
Dunno what the hell yer complaining about.
So far as I'm concerned, this is SCOOBY-WEATHER! Who else is gonna head out into this downpour and drive for fun. SCOOB = 365 days-a-year driving pleasure! How many other cars can make that claim? (For the money ...) I'm outa here for my great 22-mile B-road blast home! |
Japfest is out for me, im scoob-less! just sold it & waiting for the new one. Spose i could always bring the clapped out mondeo estate shed that i use for work,
second thoughts, think il stay at home eh! |
What's all this complaining for? I'll be leaving to drive down in the next half hour or so (and without the benefit of 4WD) :rolleyes:
|
Rain or not who cares. Just think of a Scoob with the rain drop pearl effect ... luvly.
