Huh??  It's a hideous old Escort estate.  This vintage were CRAP new and only got worse with age.

Doing the automotive world a big favour, methinks  :y

At 10lb to a gallon thats 88000  lbs !!!

at 2240 lbs to a ton thats just under 4 ton of water !! 

No wonder it bent !!

so .... if that 'small' amount of water weighs 4 tons, just think of how many tons of water have battered various bridges around the Cumbria area.  :-?

Pushing the dirt through the roof and out through the floor is a new car-washing technique to me!



Water is an amazing product.
