Don't you just hate sandy rain...

Looks like we've had half the Sahara desert deposited onto us again...

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

I had a load of that as well last night.

Just gave the diplomat a wipe down with a microfibre. As it was polished only yesterday it came off quite easily.

Probably wash the LS on Saturday.

The V6 is looking good by the way! :thumb

Here in Manchester, we have had a recycling plant fire going for two days..

Despite living about five miles away both of our cars have had a heavy dusting of paper ash.

I dusted the ash off both cars a few times, but the roof of the Cav appears to have been marked :-/

I heard about that on the news, in Salford, wasn't it. Huge fire by the looks of it.

Can you not just polish it out? Best thing to do with ash is wash it off, wiping it off can leave marks.

No its in bredbury, literally less than a mile from my house. It's a big fire and was burning for a few days, not sure if its out or not now. But there's no ash on my cars.
