Been meaning to take the ST170 down there for weeks but can never be bothered, it'll be just as dirty by the time I get back!

Never a great wash, but dead convenient as they're grafting at all hours, and better than doing it myself in the snow or leaving it like a salty mudball

Go to IC in Ravensthorpe... Ł4.50. Buy 4 and get 1 free, I say, you buy 4 and get 1 free!

They love me down there... must be known as the bird that changes her car every day....

I did contemplate giving mine a vac out this afternoon, came back from shopping, saw the external temperature guage reading zero and thought better of it.
