Do you know if there are places which actually allow this?

Pretty sure ColinD looked into this a while back, and most places prefer to use their own cars rather than letting people use their own - mainly because their cars are more often than not on "cradles" and so they have a fair amount of control over the car, and also you don't get someone with "slippery" wheels driving home and sueing them for the resulting accident...

That said, hiring a piece of ground and getting some hoses on it wouldn't necessarily be too hard...dunno, just a couple of things to be aware of...
