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.

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.

...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!
) 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!

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!

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
See you all tomorrow!!!!

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

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.

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!
