Going backwards?

Do you ever get the feeling you are going backwards?
You know, like when the new part which you ordered 4 weeks ago finally shows up, but doesn't fit! Or the paint gun leaks madly when the final coat of clear is going on! That sort of madness!
I came home early from work on friday, gave the little car a scrub & polish. I even cleaned the glass! Friday night it rains!
Yeah!, i know! We've all done that!
My bloody mongrel of a dog has decided that friday night was going to be ' dig a hole to china night'! Not anywhere in the yard, but right next to the shiny little car! Mix a lot of dirt with water, & saturday morning things weren't looking so shiny!
Curse & swear as much as you like to them stupid animals, but they just keep lovi'n ya!
So i filled the hole back in, growled at the dog a bit more, & broke out the bucket & sponge. By saturday arvo, things were starting to get REAL shiny again!
Then it rained again saturday night! The freshly filled hole looked more like a goldfish pond this time! So me & the dog aren't talking at the moment!..............
Backwards i tell ya!!!!!!!

your like me, I like to have it shiny all the time. When I had my 930 conversion I think I washed it everyday.

Rain is a very rare commodity around here!
I have the car on the ramps, so i cant drive it, or even move it!
I think the dog is trying to hide it, as it attracts a fair bit of attention!
Did someone say " dont take the targa out if it looks like rain"?
