Default What made your blood boil ?

Sorry about being wrong car in forum, but this made my 'Blood Boil'.

I had my Porsche entered in 'Concourse De E'legance' .After hours of hard work she was absolutely spot on perfect.

On the way I stopped at the traffic lights, and this 'Horrible Man' rushed to my car and proceeded to wash my windscreen etc. with a bucket of the dirtiest, grittiest, water(?) I have ever seen.

Hours of meticulous preparation gone in seconds

Then The Horrible Man' had the nerve to as me for a Quid

I don't normally go round 'Killing' people, but.................

PS: After some massive help from 'that' clubs members my Porsche took
the Gold Award.

Well done in achieving your gold - why did you not get out and stop him, or at least offer to re-locate his mop for him?

Sorry Dave (Stoctake)

No pics as I was busy fighting off a 6' 6" man who had a big mop & bucket.

Full credit to the guy for trying to earn a quid, but not my quid on my car

I know full well what I would have done with the mop!

Congratulations on winning Gold.

What type of Porsche is it then?

Could have been worse. My nephew washed his dad's car with a scouring pad! Swirlies to die for. Literally!
