Apr 6: Free car wash

PotD No. 467. It's been a while since the '64 has been in my PotD. It's out of the garage today so I could give it a good clean, prior to taking it to its first car show, 'Wheels Day' this Friday, an event which like Ray's bus show last weekend has outgrown its former home at Brooklands.

Typical April weather helped out this afternoon by giving the little car a good rainwater rinse. Then the sun shone and it sparkled like diamonds!

If I get a chance I'll come along to Wheels Day and see the beast in the metal.

Beautiful. I love cars. One of these days I am going to exchange my collection of hot wheels cars for a real old car.

Beautiful. Will Ray be joining you?

Man you must keep that car in good shape for it to shine like that after a bit of rain!
Guest 06-Apr-2004 16:10
I like this. You would blend in really nicely in San Francisco, although you may need to grow your hair long again, hippie!

Wheels Day has never been so eagerly anticipated! I can't wait....

Ahhh wheels day, I remember the good old days when it was in the industrial estate in Guildford with a Rock'n'Roll band on a flatbed truck. Now I'm remembering my cars... Cal Look Morris Minor anyone?

Hey, this is lovely. Look at all the shapes here - the classic Beetle pattern against the herring bone paving. I've had to make do with a rather more modern version of the same idea today!
Guest 06-Apr-2004 15:20
WOOHOOO!!!! Gorgeous! It DOES sparkle like diamonds! Glad it's going to a car show, I'm sure there will be lots of people fascinated with it!

YEAH !
I've been waiting and waiting to see this - and this time it's not your house, it's not your umbrella - its your VW :-)
I really like this shot - love water drops on shiny car bodies.

Great picture of the coolest car ever made.
