Cork Wash
The brushes spin past in blue and yellow while a black Micra sits in the middle of the cycle. This was 2005, so the driver had a newspaper open across the wheel to fill the couple of minutes it took. Water beads across the bonnet and the Cork plate, 98-C-6325, reads clearly through the spray. A small wait, before mobile phones took over that kind of dead time.

@donncha geez, cars from 2005 look so 90s today… but I respect the newspaper time! I wish more people today read paper magazines or books than doom scrolling
@hollowone well, it's a 1998 Micra. The number plate shows the year on Irish cars.Cars were so much smaller back then, weren't they? Less safe though. If it's not doom scrolling I'll be reading a book, on my phone! Definitely helps these middle aged eyes see the text. 📖
