My First Wash In, One Amazing Day!!!!!

[aquarius1984]

I honestly didnt know what to call this thread, so many ideas but nothing to capture how I really feel at the minute.

I also dont know what to put wordwise so il do my best for each picture.
Maybe keeping it to pictures might be enough and when Im able to il be able to say more.

I had the most amazing day of my life.....

Any guesses as to where I was???LOL!

If that wasnt a give away this might be?

After the excitement of Marks Hottie TL I finally got to see one yesterday, I never knew they were so exciting,

 

[aquarius1984]

Grins all round...

 

[aquarius1984]

Yes you guessed, the most exclusive address in Cheshire!

Mikes Spray Rinse!

Splashy splashy splashy!

 

[aquarius1984]

More pics of the wash tio come, but im amazed at how well these machines rinse and the spin is so dramatic

 

[aquarius1984]

Good old Daz TT, loving the suds

 

[aquarius1984]

Very thrashy!, Having fun.

 

[aquarius1984]

Of course Im not the only one absorbed into it all.....

1st Creda Spin dryer, fantastic piece of kit. Great sounds! Fantastic Demo Mike....

 

[aquarius1984]

Now for some classics, Im utterly amazed at how effective the Hoovermatic is, Having only seen youtube videos of them I wasnt really prepared for the rollover they achieve, nor the effectiveness of the Servis Supertwin.

Still dumbfounded for words at the minute. I know im saying pretty basic stuff but I cant get out what I wanted to say!

 

[aquarius1984]

One very important piece of history, The first Servis FL, Mk72.

 

[aquarius1984]

Mike,

I honestly dont really know what to say.

I had the most wonderful day its true, so il keep it simple.

It meant so much to me that you put all of this on for me yesterday.
You have a fantastic home, tremendous collection and great knowledge.
I feel so honoured I was able to share a wondeful day with you not forgetting meeting Ty and Ella.
And Top Marks on lunch too, wow it was fantastic, really well presented, couldnt have done better myself!

Look forward to coming across again, maybe il have more to offer talkwise than "oh my god" "jesus" and "thats amazing" and "thats unbeliveable" LOL!

~Thankyou again.

[mattywashboy]

Doesn't it just make u glad you found this site when there are people out there you can share this hobby with and have loads of fun with.

A toast to AW.org!

YAY for Mike and his machines!!!!! And his hospitallity.

Looks like you had an amazing day Robert!!! You can see the excitement and happiness written all over your face!

I was looking forward to the pictures and wasn't dissapointed.

I didnt realise the Servis Mk72 was so compact.

What a great selection of machines to use.

I must get some twinnie powder to use in the Top loader as suds are fun!

Mark

 

[aquarius1984]

ooo Hi Matt! Cheers!

Well I was shocked at how small a 9lb loader was, im 5'10 and it didnt even reach my waist! It truly was a great day Mark. Of course I have more pics but that was all I could manage today. Mike has loads more too, dare say a few more of me might appear soon. Lol! Of course I also used a few hoovers and that too was an experience. Used my first Kirby, Darth Vader Hoover and others I didnt know existed! Fantastic! Just Fabulous. R x

 

[dubstar85]

Looks like you had a great day! I loved the wee Servis washing machine. Facinating! It would be great if some of the Scottish folk could maybe hold one. A bit cheeky saying this since i don't even own a washing machine haha.

Really great to see that the Mk72 has had an airing. They are short, fat, cute little machines and, although I only encountered the Mk300 as a youngster (replaced the Mk72 and was of the same short construction, but with a non-metallic silver/light grey facia with a blue full width stripe across the bottom of it), I am still very fond of the series.

Did you plumb and plug it in at all guys? If so, how did it perform, bearing in mind it was hidden in a cupboard and basically not used for most of its life. Any chance of a Youtube vid Mike?

Also notice the 3301 was in action - congrats on the win!

Cheers
Paul
p.s this is the best image I have got of a Mk300 - nevertheless gives an idea of what it was like....
