hhmm, cant really help there dude, I always take the aerial off the red car, although the aerial is seized on the valver, so it stays on, although it's never been ripped off....

Have you tried a balaclava and shotgun?

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere...

If it makes you feel any better, I was reminded of an amusing story that happened about 10 years ago:
I was on the way to a 'hot date' with a girl I had recently met, and on the way I thought it best to give the car a bit of a clean, so that it would match my freshly scrubbed appearance. So I find a drive through car wash, go in, wind down the window (very slowly due to an aging motor) and put in the money. With the window would halfway back up I noticed that I had forgotten to push the aerial back in, so I wound the window down again, and try and reach the aerial. No such luck, so I decide to open the door, get out (by this time the pre-wash spray had started) and push it down that way. By the time I started to retract the aerial the roller brushes had begun to move, so I quickly got back in the car and started to wind up the window.
Unfortunately not fast enough to prevent the soapy water from the brushes (after they had snapped off the top half of the aerial) dousing me through the half open window. It wasn't the best preparation for the evening ahead, although I did get to the pub on time, and met her a couple of times after that...

Sorry I can't be of any actual help!

Have you an old knacker you can get rid of?

Fill drivers footwell with quick settig post cement in powder form.

Drive into car wash leave in gear and switch off. Leave windows and sunroof open - set carwash going.
Run away.

Do this on an evening when its quiet - with luck they wont notice the car is dumped untill the cement has dried solid. as car is in gear it wont be easy to move.

Option 2 - as above but set fire to the car....

yeah your right, foam is crap for putting out fires, thats why they dont put it in extinguishers

And bandit, you tart, how do you pour a wire coat hanger into the controls of the car wash to fuck it up??
