You could rapidly become my NEW best friend if you can provide video evidence of cleaning 'Me Mi' bits in the dishwasher.

Only had a pair of shorts on as it was soooo hot like... Had to put plastic bags on me feet to make it to the shower... Gunk should be your friend. Don't worry about greasy paw marks, as Mrs BM isn't there, and she never comes in here reading this stuff anymore anyway does she?Have you transferred engine bits into the kitchen yet btw?THAT has to be done. The kitchen is once again full of Mini bits... Oh... and is there any lube between the brake pipes and the pistons or just screw them in tight like...? Sweet. Loads of greasy rusty bibs and bobs sitting on newspaper is an ESSENTIAL part of renovation...in ther kitchen, always. Not too sure about the kubing bit tbh. I'm not a mechanic. Got back from walking the dog and this bloke turned up and asked "are you the guy restoring the Mini?"He has fifteen of the bastards! Had a long listen with him for two hours... he strongly recommends the dish washer for restoring dirty parts and such... Oh yes, I've heard that one before tbh.Most excellent, and putting it to really good use that, only some of the wimmin' in here will probably have a moan at you. Failing that, you always have the washing machine I suppose? The washing machine you say eh...? What temperature like...?

Anything metal and grubby if you can squeeze it in like, but watch alluminium if you're using proper dishwashing soap tablet stuff things.Wonder if you could put Gunk in it instead?
