Washing Machine

Transmission starts.....

"Do you ever get the feeling you're just moving the dirt around?"

"Yea, that's why I stopped doing it."

I was about 3/4 through washing the Audi when Jimbo Baggins had made me jump with a phone based SURPRISE! prank.

Yea.

That's what we're like.

Anyway, after I'd almost thrown a bucket of dirty hot soapy water at his smug face we'd had the above exchange. He went on to say he preferred car washes. They are indeed quicker and easier. But (never start a sentence with 'but') they are definitely not cheaper and I always feel a little guilty about the amount of energy/water I've just consumed for my convenience. What I was doing was clearly not the best way as the Audi almost looked a bit dirtier so I went and had a chat with my old (not really) friend Google.

Results ranged from the usual adverts that somehow redirect me to MySpace through to some soul sold American recommending products on video.

Anyway;

E-how gave the simplest answer with a 10 step guide. OK for most, but for my particular brand of anal retentiveness it wasn't quite enough. Besides, they talked about something called a 'Terry Cloth". Riiiiight. (As far as I can make out it's some sort of generic term for a cotton rag or cloth).

So;

I retyped the search but made sure that it was specifically restricted to this United Kingdom. The best result was by something or someone called 'Video Jug' on the website 'Desperate Sellers'. Sounds almost like it could be porn? Well yes actually. But no, unfortunately, Ahem, sorry fortunately NO. That's EN OH.

Sorry.

Where was I?

Ah yes, the video 'Jug'.

The video outlines no less than 17 steps to a washed car. That satisfied me.....

Oh, and by the way; DON'T USE WASHING UP LIQUID.

Transmission ends......
