I have, and I have been warned to stand a good three or four ft away with the washer. They have given me a top up kit which involves lots of gentle caressing and dabbing, all a bit poovish

They took out about 15 chips and other scuffs and scrapes, but this has damaged the body of the clam. They made it much better but it's still getting right on my tits.
So to answer your question, NO.

Meatball,
Snap!! came back from Skye on Wednesday. Great driving roads too just go to watch out for the sheep strolling along and camikaze locals behind the wheel.
Where did you stay?

Ah yes, same area as the Stein Inn. Fabulous part of Skye (its all fabulous though).
I stayed at Skeabost House. I dont think I could live on Skye full time - too remote. But if you want to get away from everywhere and everyone there is no better place.
Bet the tourist were loving the Lotus!!
cheers Jamie
