So this is what the wife came home to...

Mischief · 29th June 2018, 17:54

Decided to take the carpet out to dry it after a winter of sunroof leaks (massive puddle in the car even after the nice weather we had). I then decided to give it a good clean:

what our wives put up with

I filled my wife's airing cupboard and conservatory with bits drying.
And in her oven, cooked some bits with heat resistant rust proof paint

She was fine with it in the back garden it was when I brought it in and started shampooing it

Just tell her it's Ikea and for her birthday....

One night my missus came home early from a "coffee" evening with friends, I told her not to take her coat off and whisked her down the pub, got take out on the way home etc...

It was a nice evening so I took her into the garden and we watched the stars for a while.

I offered her more coffee and said no, don't get up love.

she kissed me and said I was a love...

I then went inside and took the 2 Webber 40 downdraught carbs out of the dishwasher and stuck them in the cupboard real quick like, threw the plates from the takeaway in and set it on quick wash....

I still live today...

Mrs B came home to find a Suzuki cylinder head in the dishwasher.

Cost me a new dishwasher, but the head was spotless. The old Zanussi has since proved it's worth as my parts washer in the garage.

Hi John.
That is a super change from what I saw last weekend at the meet, I bet it will smell lovely in your car now, and make for a more pleasant drive, you could have not done it a t a better time, this weather would have any carpet dry in days.

Don't forget the box of chocolates, and a few flowers the car will love them
