Title: Post your real world dirty car pics!
Post by: Andy B on 28 January 2008, 17:24: It's all well and good having showroom photos, but it's the winter, and a hatchback has a job to do.

Here's ours in deepest mud-strewn Dorset, two mountain bikes in the back (yes they fit if you take the wheels off!) and a load of other luggage. Steamed up, splattered, doing the job it was bought to do...

Yes! Well, not a 4x4. We wanted something to drive, not wash incessantly (or more accurately *be* washed by a gang of latvians at tescos), which is apparently what 4x4s are for round our way :grin:

(Clarification - When I said that you could get a couple of bikes in the back if you took the wheels off, I meant the wheels on the bike, not the car :laugh: :grin:)

Thats nothing!!! :grin: :grin: At least yours is shiny and the water still forms beads on the paintwork. Mines beyond that - a dull grey/brown colour with not a bead in sight when it rains - just a flat wet look. :embarassed: :embarassed:

Post by: 08micsta on 29 January 2008, 10:48: It hadly rains here in South Africa. So car stays clean for ages but is cleaned weekly anyway. So no dirty pics from me :wink:

But I may find a few with the 4x4 dirty but not muddy or anything and chances are they wont be entertaining.

Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 29 January 2008, 20:52: ROB Mk5 are u using spacers at all with your wheels as they really seem to fill the arches spot on, or what width and offset are your CH's. Also could I ask a favour, could you measure from the centre of the wheel to the centre of the wheel arch for me and let me know as your ride height at the rear also looks perfect, and I've been fiddling with mine trying to get just right and yours looks it.

The garage doesn't have any drainage and so isn't the best place to clean the car.

As for being a man - I'll be one when it's a bit warmer :rolleyes:
