Carwash by phil_howcroft

Carwash

At the car wash
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Talkin' about the car wash, yeah
Come on, ya'all and sing it for me
(Car wash)
Wooh oooh oooh
(Car wash, yeah)

I don't normally do car washes, but the local paper was giving away "free car was tokens" so we used the said tokens this morning.

I was worried how my wing mirror would behave in the car wash. It was vandalised when I went to watch Bolton Wanderers at Rotherham a couple of weeks ago.

It would have cost over £100+ to get a new one, but the garage recommended a little body shop lock up run by a nice Iranian man who bred canaries inside his lock up as well as doing his car repairs. He charged my £10 for the repair and did a neat job. The only issue is the mirror will no longer retract, so I was worried the car wash brushes would snap it off.

BTW the wing mirror is the nearside mirror not the drivers mirror as shown here
Awesome shot

Hi Phil! Its true we never forget our 365 friends! I have often thought of you when scanning the footie results! So you have an Iranian canary breeder who mends cars.....how English!! lol

I was worried about you Phil. I hadn't seen you on 365 for some days. Glad to see you back, my friend. My latest resolution is never to wash the cars and that's because they get dirty immediately I wash or have them washed. Love all those water drops on the glass.

@Cherrill cherrill, i have an iranian friend who i used to work with in coventry / birmingham . Knowing the iranian community is not very big i emailed behnam to see if he knew majid the canary man , he said he thinks their wives are friends :-)

Cool abstract, I like the way the red is scattered across the composition by the refraction in the droplets.
