Drought Drives Aussies To Topless Carwash, Photos

Australia's worst drought in memory has had many weird side-effects -- but noone expected a nude carwash to be one of them.

In Brisbane, it led to water restrictions, including a ban on residents washing their own cars.

The result was a boom in professional carwash services, a phenomenon which caught the eye of strip club entrepreneur Warren Armstrong.

And he has set up a carwash service where customers can have their cars washed by a topless woman for 50 dollars, or a nude woman for 100 dollars.

Armstrong tells a paper: "I'm just trying to make an honest dollar".

When asked about the carwash Premier Anna Bligh said no complaints had been received and, since the washing took place out of public view, no criminal offence was being committed.

But she couldn't understand why anyone would want to use it: "It seems to me a pretty weird and wacky way to get your car washed", she said.

UPDATE:

The car wash has been given the all-clear after police and officials say they are powerless to stop it.

"If it was approved for a car wash then I can't imagine how we can stop them," Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said after a council meeting with local lawmakers... We don't want any traffic accidents caused by people looking at the girls instead of looking at the road".

Somehow this story just doesn't seem complete without some topless car wash photos:
