I was originally supposed to be passengering in a mates e46 CSL as I didn't bother asking for a stand pass this year as I wrongly assumed the car would be sold.
Unfortunately, the day before my mate called the storage facility he's got his car at to arrange a pick-up and found they'd closed for the weekend and he couldn't get his CSL out - and that was after spending £200 on detailing products that we were going to spend the afternoon using on both cars.
So, my car ended up being the taxi, and it didn't get washed either, but having to do the Liverpool-London-Liverpool commute in the rain would have made it filthy again very quickly anyway.
