Default Why oh why did I bother.....

I've just spent 3hrs 20mins completing the following:

- cleaned outside of car top-to-bottom with Turtle Wax shampoo
- waited for car to dry
- recleaned outside of car where needed
- polished ALL bodywork and windows using shammy cloth
- cleaned bonnet, bumper, lights, mirrors with Turtle Wax 'Bug & Tar Remover'
- cleaned wheels using soapy water
- cleaned wheels using Auto Glym
- cleaned wheel arches using soapy water
- polished bonnet using Mer and waited to dry
- buffed bonnet to lovely shine

I then got in my sparkling WRX to drive to Halfords to buy a new Momo gear **** and you guessed it.................

IT'S FU**ING PI55ING IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont feel bad.there was a thread on here a while ago about people who wash their cars in the rain!!!

i have done exactly the same thing, washing and polishing the car and then you look up and there are the big grey storm clouds

hey at least your nice shiny new gear **** is dry
and i am sure your car appreciated the love and care you gave it.
(try doing that to your missus and see if you get the same result)

I don't live in Louisiana and if I did, I would've left in my scooby (with my aircon on) at high speed.

p.s. got a sense of humour? Thought not.

Yes, perhaps we should all give up laughing or posting tongue-in-cheek angry posts in case there has been a disaster somewhere in the world.. By the way, there are millions starving in Africa. I'd give good odds on the fat **** Yanks lasting a bit longer than them.
