dont have one mate, work at home so the vee is just a toy! :)
If Im stuck I have a Isuzu Trooper (farm jeep) which has been named "the escalade" by mates lol
my mums 182 or maybe my girlfriends polo! :)
its very addictive, Ive always kept my cars ultra clean, mainly using autoglym from just halfords and the like..
but i blame rich for finding out about all these american products and the megs #'s range you cant buy in most shops!!
damn you and your stupid shiny car rich!! just...
there were a few on X, mainly development and press cars though, as far as I know..the official launch date was mid 2001 with most cars being picked up sept 1st for a 51 plate, i know car number 6 was on a 51, and I owned number 35 which was a 51 (registered 01/09/2001)
there was even a T...
the only thing thats putting me off doing that..is having to separately order the transformer and plug etc..no great hardship..just hassle really!
from cleantyourcar..you get everything, all ready to use and go! plus..delivery is ultra fast,
he reckons 2 weeks will have them back in, :)
I have just been back on www.cleanyourcar.co.uk and ordered..
megs #00 hi tech wash and a sonus sheepskin wash mitt
megs #7 show car glaze
clearkote caranuba moose wax
so will see how this comes out!
they are out of stock on PC polishers :(
i see the shift light regularly in my vee, and did in my old vee, and 172 cup too! once its fully warmed (say around 15 miles + ) then its doing no harm! drive them like they are made for IMHO
who cares if peak power has tailed off..changing early always feels wrong when your in the mood...lol
I am hoping that the 255 will gain classic status and I want to have and keep one of the best ones in the country! I am an absolute perfectionist with my cars and when i say this one is flawless im not joking..not even a scuff on the chin spoiler or the wheels!
might sound sad, but..i get as...
i only had it one week today, drove it home saturday, and drove it sunday/monday, then had it tucked away since!!
weathers been crap, and its only done 9000 so keeping it low as i plan to keep it for aggges
Daz..yes i see your registered on the vee forum now! good luck in selling ur 182..they are fantastic cars though, my mum has one and I used to have a 172 cup..much more chuckable than the vee...and for a quick short journey..much easier to just jump in and go!
:)
....briefly..its back inside all nice and safe now! :):)
cant stop taking new photo's :S
i must stop polishing it and start driving it...maybe...possibly..;)
i have applied some megs #83 by hand using sonus pads and microfibre cloths to remove...results were awesome, just needs a PC to make it 100% perfect..
anyways...what wax/sealant to go for now? bearing in mind this will be applied by hand too!...what is this P21s everyone raves about...
lol! guys the interior is spotless!
well..except for the footrest next to the clutch!! oops!
the mark on the mat etc..is just the way its been hoovered!
the camera flash has just made it look so wrong :(:(
have ordered some megs 83 from cleanyourcar.co.uk and getting a PC asap for it....black gold is a fooking amazing colour!! :):) Only had it 5 days and washed it 4 times, polished it 5 times already lol and waxed it twice!
certainly have mate.....
you can see it in the lakes meet pics..though it was dirty then..
i gave it a quick polish and took this pic...
cant wait to get C1 CDG on it, may as well do it when it needs taxed though :)
FPMSL!!!
so very true...
i think the fact that the 255 is currently appreciating in price whilst the meggy, 182, 197 drop like stones says it all really :)
