Nothing worse, but a silly move with such unpredictable weather....20dhs mall car park wash at best at the moment.

i guess

i've stopped having my car washed in malls or any other location that isn't a proper car wash place....there is so much residue that accumulates between the car panels and the lights - my car deserves a proper wash, clean & polish.

who pays 145dh for it to be cleaned!

mission

it's not just a 'clean' - its a service from having the insides thoroughly cleaned to having the car completely polished.
They have different tiers of cleaning services - it's a proper car wash place - not a petrol station.

Meh. My car has long since gone beyond the time when I really, really care how good he looks.

Nigel doesn't mind the mall car park boys, bit scratchy, not enough water but he survives.

mission

you named your care Nigel

scrubbedexpat141

Yeah, plate letter is 'N' so thought of the most normal, non-exciting name I could and first to pop into my head was Nige, lengthened to Nigel.

It's a total 'Nigel' my car, 100%.

My car would love to be cleaned in a mall..... Currently it sits in a rancid state until I go to site and then the team boy does it. However, I have to drive 8km on a unmade road and so its pretty dusty once I get back onto asphalt..... Generally couldn't give a hoot about it. One thing I have noticed is how much cleaner the inside is now I have quit smoking. It used to get silly dusty but now it's quite acceptable. Don't even mind people coming inside it now..... Owww Matron!

I thought everyone named their car. Mine's called Tony.

It's true.

Lady Scamp's car was 'Gareth' after 'Gareth Keenan' from the UK version of The Office.

It was as green as his green suits and a Volvo and was about as Gareth as a motor could get.

Yep, deffo a Gareth.

Mine's named after Tony in Men Behaving Badly. I remember him calling his toilet Trevor and his shed Steve.
