Thanks for the comments guys.
Lol, the truth of it is, I had to wait til 3pm as it had been raining all day before I could clean the car, only a couple of hours. But I was panicing thinking I'd have to go to the show, with a, eeks dirty car.
Aaaw, not much anyone can do about the weather, Winter still has it's joys. Beautiful crisp mornings, snow, then the light at the end of the tunnel, Spring. At least you'll have a reason to uphold that wingeing with.
