Cirlie and i went wheeling today got prity muddy, with water restrictions on in Brisbane its hard to wash the car
So we went to a fresh water creek on the way home drove in and used a bucket to wash the cars and didn't cost anything
The creek is normally about 300mm higher than is is there.

water restrictions have severly limited my offroading of late. I cant stand leaving my car covered in **** after a play in the bush.
I heard a briliant idea yesterday. buy a wheelie bin as a portable water tank and use that for car washing. either just with a bucket or plumb a pressure cleaner into it. I have been wanting to do something like this for ages but couldnt think of the right tank to use.

We will more than likely end up on restrictions too once

When we do a beach run we call in at one of the creeks under the highway to rinse the salt off
