We are building a new house at the moment. One of the main design considerations was to have a well shaded area that's partially covered to wash the vehicles. Bugger having somewhere to sit in the sun and drink beer. If I've got any spare time, I'll be riding one of my bikes.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Now that really is dedication!

Very clean Rebecca  :cool:

I would seriously love a black car again but think it would end my marriage as I'd probably end up cleaning it daily....!

Seems I only get to work on Silver cars now....

Maintenance wash for this pair for a friend then a quick wash and dry on mine today. The Tungsten is starting to grow on me now, wasn't quite sure to start with. Definitely changes depending on the light.

Thanks Watts.  It’s nice to have it free frompollen, sand, bug splat.......for a day!   :grin:

Thanks Jim.  :smiley:

Haha!   But if it never gets dirty, you never have that satisfaction of bring it back from the brink.  :laugh: Well, that’s my excuse for not cleaning it daily, lus a few other things!

My son and I are going to the Players Classic at Goodwood on Saturday.  AKA the Goodwood Festival of Chav, it's a magnet for modified cars of all types, from the "money no object" full-on professional builds to the "shattered dreams" variety, usually slammed and/or stanced with more enthusiasm than budget or skill.  All of life is there, including a good selection of detailing equipment and potion suppliers, often with special show offers.

It's a good day out for any enthusiast of the modified motor vehicle, and a warning not to get carried away when you start a project car.
