Have you heard about the latest idea in car beauty treatments?

Park in the right stream and some little toothless fish will swim along and nibble all the dead rubber off your tyres.

I wasn't aware that there was live rubber on my tyre?

I've seen that before, but I suspect they'd be pissed off if I drove the 500 there and put my wheels in

OK, I agree, that one was a load of pollacks.

The problem for some of us was that the water level was particularly high and flowing very fast and the PUB was on the other side of the ford. Mind you, once we got to the pub Rob did encourage some of the others to go back for more, lol.

I think it is called a double dip procession.

Bad joke

Personally I wouldn't have gone through but that's just me. I went through much deeper stuff in my 406 and it was just fine but the idea of putting a car that's actually quite nice through a watersplash doesn't fill me with confidence. Just the force of hitting water at speed is enough to break things.

Back a few years ago Petter Solberg had to retire twice I think in Argentina because at the speed he was going the water did so much damage to the front of the car. Of course he was going a bit faster than any of us would go, but I prefer not to take the risk at least on a car that's got plastic bits on the front which break nicely

I'm starting to flounder a bit now so I think I'll skate off back to bonnetmouth cos I feel a bit ruffe, (who wouldn't after writing this crappie).

And if any of you think I am an aholehole ........... That's oKOI by me.
