Title: It Must Be a 'Blue-Moon' Tonight
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on April 24, 2005, 16:16:29: I've got a confession to make :oops:

I w*shed the Discovery this morning :shock:

It's only been done very rarely before (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=2706&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=d7f5454d3826dbd6b90e9a84315bedbb)

'Dave-with-the-Discovery' (next door but one) was washing his.
No!, I didn't feel shamed, or was told to do it (SWMBO was out at B&Q)

But seeing as he has a nice big diesel powered Steam Cleaner, I thought why not?

The thing is, I'm off next week as well (been off since Thursday14th) & I'm going exploring around the Otley, Ilkley & Bolton Abbey area tomorrow, so I'm sure it'll be back to normal by the evening :lol:

Mmmm... ('thinks') Pity Andy's probably working :roll: :wink:

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on April 24, 2005, 21:14:59: May I say, the reference to 'Blue Moons' gives a certain clue to the frequency of water with cleansing additives going near my Discovery.

What do you all think it is?
I'm up in Yorkshire, it rains a lot! Why bother, it'll get rinsed within a couple of days :lol:

I've just realised how bl*e it looks in those photos :cry:

This one is better :lol:

Sorry you're working Andy, I'll tell you all about it & where I go later :lol:

Mmm, an early dinner at The Wharfe View Cafe (http://community.webshots.com/photo/134495436/167107113LXnUGn) sounds good! & perhaps tea & buns at 'Buffers' (http://www.bufferscoffeeshop.sagenet.co.uk/)?

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on April 25, 2005, 21:38:17: Nice day out in Otley/Ilkley, but didn't get as far as I anticipated due to a late start.

Came back to the Discovery in Otley & found I'd got a flat :cry:

It wasn't much fun as it was the front-near-side & I'd parked on the right hand side of the road.
To top it all, I knew the bottle-jack was there, but didn't know if it worked or the handles were under the seat :roll:
Thankfully they were, but the tyres been condemned (it had felt a 'bit funny' for a few miles, but the road surfaces aren't too good in places) So I now need another Colway235/70 AT, only done about 21,000miles, & barely worn :cry:

Still I cheered myself up with dinner at the Wharfe View Cafe :D

Meat & Potatoe Pie, Chips, Peas, pint of tea, Treacle Sponge & Custard all for Ã‚Â£3.50.
Can't go wrong

Oh & it was nice at these locations as well
