You are all rank amateurs! To be properly certified insane you need to be laying on your back on soaking wet grass in the pouring rain at 7.30 on a Sunday morning under the car cleaning the aluminium undertrays and suspension ready for the AMOC concours white gloved judging to commence @ 10. Mine is on the far left and I only came 2nd that year :-(

Not surprised. The 4th and 7th spoke on the osr are clearly filthy and you have not parked parallel to the grass edging making for an uneven showing. You also knocked the sign down. I would have given you fourth for such a shoddy showing.

I've washed cars in the dark and rain on a few occasions over the years and have done full concours d'elegance with Porsche and MGA.

That explains why there was water marks on the grille then!

I was a bit tired after the 5hr machine polishing of your car mate...for free

3M Fastcut followed by 3M Ultrafina then a Harleys sealer.

Came up stunning

It's Nettuno.

It's Nettuno.

Don’t think it is, Nettuno is much darker

The sun was shining when I took it!

It usually looks like this...

Well done, all of us. It's good that we're committed / should be committed.

I thought we were which is why we frequent this place

Ah that does look Nuttuno now without your ‘trick photography’

I was once washing my car and had a neighbour come out and ask me

"You do realise it's raining"

Realising this was my 'Four Weddings and Funeral' moment, I responded

"Really, I hadn't noticed"

Unfortunately, my neighbour is called, Bob.

- Nice one - this setting looks familiar - when/where was it - did it have the 'automator' swan as a major attraction?

Raby Castle, it was an Italian car show - one of very few car shows that took place last year. It was really good.

Edit: on checking it was Auto Italia, 5th Sept (there's a thread on here with loads of great pics).

I think you're thinking of the Bowes Museum (with the automated silver swan).

So a great many of us find the need to wash cars in al weathers, many more are too shy to come out of the car wash closet

Washed the family waggon yesterday... looks like the clouds must have been filled with sand as its dirty everywhere and I've not left the house today.
