Burble Burble Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm on shift, I do 4 on 4 off, fri to mon this weekend, then the next two week I'll be in on the sunday. Three weeks before I'm onto just weekday working so take pics this time and post them up if you get together on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Sunday? Weather looks good. Maybe, but it'll be freezing! I'm not sure I fancy standing in a frozen car park for a few hours. Then again, I'll be washing my car this lunchtime, so I'll see if the cloth freezes to the metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've got loads of work on at the moment, but I could be tempted if enough people go, also got to put a new water pump in the MX5 this weekend, it froze up on Tuesday, it would appear it didn't have enough anti freeze in it. oops!!!

That's good news on the work front, at least. I bet that's been a nice start to the year. I wanted to wash the car at lunchtime today. I had the bucket, shampoo, mits and wax ready, and unwound the hose. I turned the water on and I couldn't understand why there wasn't much water coming through. I checked for kinks, made sure the tap was full on and checked the links. It took me a few minutes to realise that the residual water in the hose had frozen, and that put paid to cleaning the car for the day! I went back to work with a partially damp car! It definitely needs a wash now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's a right pain as the water and suds freeze before you have a chance to rinse them off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
