It looks like he just scrapped the path out in front of his house and must have thought I'd do the car aswell

Hes probably on a budget where a car means absolutely nothing a replacable object. Hes not addicted to cars like so many on here. Its also his property & should not concern you in anyway.

Old boy down the road from me washes his nearly new micra with a stiff broom. I watch him every weekend, he will sweep his paths with the broom, go get a bucket of water then dunk the same broom in it and whip it over the car. Then just launches the bucket of water back over the car for a rinse, job done
