Yeah, its been those kind of conditions today, where all the muck of the roads is kicked up by the car in front and the bonnet and 'screen get plastered
I actually ran out of screenwash a short distance from home

funny how dirt doesnt photograph well isn't it! must be something to do with your eyes focussing differently to a camera lens (and being 3D!)
my two best ones of late... apologise for bigulationess
Lost somewhere near preston... trying to get to birmingham... from notts..
In real life the un-wiped part of the rear window was more-or-less opaque
later on after getting back, starting on the aerial
It's been washed since (well, halfheartedly rinsed) and is STILL dirty
is it any wonder the rust is coming back?
ew!
stupid vauxhall putting only a "2 quart" (US) washer bottle in their cars BTW - i've run the astra dry twice in less time than it would take the polo to do it once - which hits home particularly hard in these horrible conditions

i eventually came off the motorway, searched in vane for a petrol station so bought a bottle of water from a shop and used that
this morning i went into my boot and discovered a bottle of water i'd filled up from my tap as my "in case i run out" precaution
why didnt i look in the bloody boot? balls

nice parking
funny, i thought that at the time as well
but i'd got an aching desire for the lav so i just slapped it into a space and ran inside... helped that the corsa to the left was typically badly parked too so it fitted right in and didnt notice til i came out!
calm down dear it's only a photograph i'm really a very good parker etc etc
can't beleive no-one clocked on to the jumper hanging out of the door in the second pic btw.. only just spotted that meself!
yeah... the bottle of drink from the shop thing... done that before as well... though i bought some fizzy pop, drank it, then filled it from the toilets instead
i'm carrying a (de-labelled) 2-litre pop bottle of ready-mixed stuff in the boot of the new motor from now on though... 1.9L tank is a joke.

i just decided it would be best to do that in case some retard (such as one of my little cousins) found it and thought it was blue raspberry or something. without the cola label it looks a little more sinister and less fizzy.
(that retard almost being me when i drained the old coolant off into a couple of 'em still with labels on.... looks brown, check, smells sweet, yep... hang on... doesnt look fizzy... and i remember doing *something* to the car here earlier
)
