So with winter coming and washing the car becoming rather unpleasant (but still feeling the need to keep the car clean) .................just have a guess what I have invested in...

Answers on a postcard, well a post actually........ first one that gets it right gets a brownie point.

Sits back and waits for some humorous answers....

An inflatable garage so you can polish your car inside, even when it’s outside.

No i have a garage for indoor washing and shame on anyone that puts a car through a car wash !!

So no one is even close yet.... although the car wash thing has some merit.... :P

Hi :)

Are you going to invest in a wife/mistress who is turned on by washing/polishing in the cold ?

All the best Brett :)

I'm pretty sure that they are going to leave it streaky.

My guess is a 924, leaving the 996 in the garage nice and warm and clean. :lol:

All of these ideas have merit, but I think my purchase is not quite so glam..... it certainly cant compare to the Playboy naked car wash !
