Got a few moans when I parked it on my local Peugeot Club group stand at the Pugfest show! Managed to get a run up the hillclimb again which was cool.
I think they moaned as it made there Pugs look dirty ;)

Clio wise I arrived late in the day, only the ktec Turbo to be seen, eating a scooby up the straight!
First time at the British GP for me today, only qualifing but not bad for free! Early start but and aftyer a great cross country blast, and finally finding the pre event meeting place was good to meet some fellow CS members to spend the day with.

Its official the PC can and will go through your clearcoat.
Picked up a scratch on the way home from the FCS yesterday on my wheel, at a guess must have been a stone with nothing to lose I hit it with the PC this afternoon, SSR 2.5 and a light cut pad, and went through the laquer!
In honesty...
Just finished sorting my pics from the day.

Neil came up today for PC'ing on the valver.
Things started off well with the a wash and the sun out - but the rain soon came down meaning fighting with it to get the car done. Ended up defeated though.
Managed to PC the top half of the car, but the rain set in meaning we could not do the...
Adam (acrebo) travelled all the way up to mine for a PC'ing on his 172 today. 120 odd miles all the way up from Exeter, to try and get it prepared for the FCS.
He clayed the car the other week. Paint was in good shape, no real swirl marks, odd marks here and there, so plan was to clean it up...
WARNING - If you go to a a car show in your Clio, and decide to park it on Peugeot owners club stand as your still a member, be carefull if some of the fellow Peugeot owners dont get jealous and abuse it! :eek:

A few mess around test pics. More plus some random stuff on my site!
