Sandy dust!

Post by matthewlancs »

Woke up this morning to find the roc covered in red sandy dust!

Checked it out and found it is sand from the Sahara desert brought across by the winds?! How strange.

Everyone else in the same boat? I've resisted the urge to wash it as there is more on the way.......

Fortunately we haven't been hit by it. A quick snowfoam would do the trick .

Hope you get it cleaned off OK - but, after all, it is very appropriate that the 'Scirocco' should be covered by 'a dusty desert wind'! :D

Thanks, moulin - I was starting to wonder if my remark had gone right over people's heads! :)

So instead of cleaning mine (will be cleaned as soon as I get the chance) my black Rocco (which seems to show up this dust as if it was a new colour) someone has written rocky on the bonnet!
