Default Clean at Last

The sun has been unexpectedly shining here in Eastbourne today so at long last I had the chance to clean my car. A good wash and then polish - not quite summer clean but not a motorized compost heap anymore.

You could grow spuds on my car at the moment.

Wouldn't that damge the soft top ?
Now if you grew them in the engine compartment, the heat would cook them and pushing them out through the front grill would turn them into chips

Try a nice Trout with some butter and dill wrapped in foil on the rad and have some Vtec type fun for half hour or so , stop for lunch serve with the aforementioned spud and a cool bottle of what takes your fancy

I think 1/2 hour would be way too long for trout - 15 mins max IMHO

Reminds me of another 'alternative' cooking method - anyone heard of / experienced 'Dishwasher cooking'? It sort of revolves around the 'boil-in-the-bag' concept

Just a tip when cleaning, dont do what I did this weekend!!!!

Just cleaning the rear bumber when I dropped the sponge onto the drive, without thinking I picked it up and continued only to hear a dredded grind, a stone had stuck to the sponge and I know have a scratch the length of the number plate across the rear bumber, I managed to get rid of some of it with T-CUT but not all of it. Needless to say I gave the stone a right good kick in.
