this is what i was battling this week in gateshead. driving thru literally 12"-18" of water! luckily it was the wifes car not mine. i doubt my car would have made it thru the water to be honest...

the following day it was covered in all that sandy sh!t and underneath was a disgrace.







so i decided it deserved a wash polish and wax afterwards.... then it rained again...

I am tempted to clean her up , but with more possible dirty rain on the way it seems pointless  :sad1:

Clean, polished and waxed the OH yesterday and washed mine yesterday and just finished polishing and waxing, just got to do the bumper trim stuff, windows and exhaust its done. I know its going to rain Tuesday they reckon but mine was filthy before the rain due to where I've been working (they are constantly digging so get the dust rain alot on that site) so I couldn't leave it any longer

never did get round to washing it which is probably for the best as it has rained all day today. Goes to Lepsons on Wednesday for a few days so maybe i'll get to wash it come the weekend.

Isn't NW London Thames Water?!! If so the ban was dropped a few weeks back, not that it was ever needed in the first place  :fighting2:

*edit* just asked the mrs as she is a london lass and it appears that not everyone in london is supplied their water by thames water - that's the new thing i learned today!  :laugh:

Unluckily we are supplied by Veolia Central (used to be Three Valleys), who still have the ban in force :sad1:
