Car Wash

Fellow blogger Spare Parts and Pics has a truly great post here, that got me an earworm and many memories when we traveled Australia´s Outback.

First, let us get rid of the earmworm, OK?

  
I had no idea this song is from 1976 - my Dad fooled me till my school days. There is but classical music.
Certainly I found out there is more!
Mom had ABBA in the car then, after I was "lost" (I later on Dad´s request learned to play classics on the piano) - and I listened to The Sex Pistols. Never lie to your child!

Anyhows, thank you, bloggy-companion - and please... hop by... wonderful photography always!


Back in then Wanneroo, now called Madeley... washed and ready to be sold.


The best car ever. To Germans they are male.
He was our car to drive through adventures, he was our bedroom and on rainy days in the Outback we had our lunch or dinner in him.
He was our home.
He was our protector. Built 1985. Took us around for 6 months. Best time ever. I sure miss the Outback a lot.

Car wash these days often mean you have a drive through. 
I had one company car where I took care - boy, was I scared I do it wrong!!!!
Boss told me he never has a car wash so the next 3 company cars... well... ;-)
 
For River:
 

 It was wonderful  in Elsey National Park!
It can never be hot enough outside to hop in hot springs!

I love riding through the car wash. I ride. Himself does the driving.

What a memorable adventure you had in that car! I would have loved to do something like that when I was young, but with 4 sons in tow by the time I was 22, that wasn't going to happen. Ah, the choices we make.

I don't do it enough because it's expensive but I love going to the car wash! I love the car youshowed -- the stories it could tell!

Jeanne said...

I love that cars in English are usually "She"

I like driving through the car wash and coming out the other end with a shiny car!

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, LOL, I relly never washed my company cars! To a great new week, hugs

Rajani, thank you.

Sue, wow, yes, you chose a different path! I am glad we went.

Jeanie, yes, that car could tell a lot!

Jeanne, she sounds strange to me. I am old-fashioned (and German), I like the thought of a male protector...

RedPat, I am so glad I don´t have a car anymore! Traffic has gotten crazy and finding a place to park even worse...
