You can come over and do my Nissan, Jackeroo, Toyota Blizzard and the Camry if you want, all have not been done for months due to the
water restrictions. I'll even supply the "Lemonade" .

The way the radar is showing ,still 20min before we get a drop at
Brighton , that will be G and T time rather than washing the cruiser ,after all a 4x4 is a dirt machine.

Finally some rain, all the fuddy-duddys of shorncliffe now dont have to have out thier opinions everytime I throw a bucket of washing
water over the ute.
You reckon they'd have nothing else to do.......
apart from running into your heels in those narrow Woolies isles!

I had the exact same thought earlier in the day when I heard that there was going to be a storm this afternoon.
A the first rumbling of the thunder, the bucket was filled with warm
water, soap and sponge readied for action. Over came the rain so I donned the waterproof parka and a washing I did go.
They was about 4 months of crap on the Nissan from various off-road trips which accounted for the baked on mud that has just sat there until now. No one is going to recognise it at work as I have been the blunt of many a 'Wash Me' finger marks on the windows and paintwork.
I even had the luxury of going for a run at the height of the storm to get rid of all the mud under the wheel arches and chassis. It now looks a treat.
I will certainly be using storms in the future to do the job on the Nissan, it saved a hell of a lot of
water.
Cheers, Patrick
