Through the Tunnel

We were due to join friends for a special birthday today.  I was driving and after 10 days of sub zero temperatures my car was extremely dirty.  With limited time I took it to a car wash and captured this image as it progressed through.  It was the first time I've ever put my car into neutral, so that the hand brake wasn't engaged as the machine moved the car through the various stages of the cleaning process.

Sadly, we got a call later in the morning to say that they were feeling unwell, so we've taken a rain check.
