Had to take the old dear to the dentists today (which carried its own set of grievances, but let's not digress further..).
On the way back I became aware of a sort of rushing noise; like driving through water. Transpires that the relatively fresh tarmac has convincingly melted; causing it to cling to the tyres and for them to attract / retain whatever crap they happen to roll over next... Including the surplus of chips that have accumulated on the roads presumably because whoever did the work couldn't be arsed to do it properly.
You could also apparently feel the effect of this adhesion in the car's unwillingness to accelerate; such was its grip.
I dread to think what sort of state the paintwork's in now - if I wasn't driving a shed I think I'd be extremely unhappy at this point...
