The Three Brethern

Well has,nt life been rosy over the festive period, over indulging in all sorts of ways. The time had come to get some fresh air into the lungs. Decided to come good with my promise to the wee boy ( age 5 ) regarding some off road 4 x 4 and lots of mud.

The quest was The Three Brethern, http://www.selkirk.border-net.co.uk first driving to the top pond and if the kids managed to walk the hill section all the way to the cairns without complainting or being carried, they would get the pleasure of sitting on dad,s knee and driving the motor on the return leg of the journey, having upheld their end of the deal i was duty bound to come good with the driving lesson, this turned out to be a scream for the kids as well as their mum but for different reasons. Anyway all,s well that ends well, no damage done to said vehical other than a visit to the car wash required.

That reminds me of previous "stupid" experience with my new Audi. The wife had suggested that i stop using the car wash because the roller brushes pick up all the grit and dust thus causing scratches to the paint work of the motor. This seemed like sound advise so i decide to use the basin of soapy water and the pan scrubber for a change, problem was i used the scour side of the sponge and removed all the lacquer from the body work, this was only noticable when the paint work dried, OOP,s lesson learned.
