Default Oh, the filth...

At the beginning of this month, we went on holiday and took the Crossfire around Dorset. It rained relentlessly all week.

At one point, I got stuck behind a tractor pulling a trailer loaded with bales of straw. My car ended up looking like this.

If nothing else, it proves we have adventures.

What color is your car? That almost looks like a deep blue. Get that baby shined up and post some pics.

You probably should remove the engine cover and check the filters and tubes.

not wanting to make you jealous ( and I wish I had my camera with me ) but my car was washed today by the England under 19 female cricket team. No this wasn't a special present from some of my mates.... but a charity event at work.

It’s a dark metallic grey - a curious colour which has very interesting properties. In bright sunlight, it has a depth, and contains small blue and green flecks. When it’s overcast or in shadow, it seems to have no colour at all. It will leech colour from surrounding objects and will almost blend in at times - it’s as if it has no colour at all.

Aaahhh...pretty girls.

Nice.

Except for the large, wooden weapon-like objects.

Could have been worse, it could have been a carrot or turnip lorrie. I've been behind a few of those when they start bouncing things at you.
