Gave the E55 Bus a clean yesterday

Been raining here since 5pm and there is no chance of cleaning the car for MSL tomorrow Oh well.
Supposed to be fine tomorrow though.

Yeah been raining here for a while too. I keep checking the forecast and it looks good tomorrow, so hopefully roads will have dried up a bit for our journey up to MSL.

See you tomorrow, will be good to meet

Looks like all the rain will finish overnight and roads will hopefully be dry

It's funny guys I was looking online at car covers earlier to help keep it dry and dust free.

Unfortunately my car lives on my drive as I don't have a garage and I would love to find a suitable way of protecting it. I can't convince myself that a cover is a good idea though as my car is used daily, but it would have been great lately with all my neighbours building work going on and now the poxy rain!

A cover that touches the car is a very bad idea as any dust or grit on the paintwork when you put the cover on will cause scratching.

Google "carcoon" for a possible solution.

Yep, I live on a main road with only driveway parking. It hurts to see the road dust build up during the days I'm not using the car.
Those car covers look a good idea but in reality I think would damage the paintwork.

That was exactly my thoughts on car covers which is why I can't bring myself to think it's a good idea. I have looked at those carcoons, they look good but my drive is too tight to accommodate it and also it would probably look a bit odd dominating the front of the house If I had more space that is definitely what I would opt for though.

seriously if that was my car id take the front of the house out put a lintle in and use the front room as a Garage lol.

Haha - to be honest I have thought long term if I can get finances sorted about trying to buy my neighbours bungalow and doing exactly that

I knew someone who lived in Biggin Hill who did that 40-odd years ago. The planning authority had a conniption fit - especially as they'd turned down his application to build a garage on the plot 6 months earlier
