A day in the life of...

ONE day's driving (for work) has transformed my car into this:

Fortunately, they paid the £6 to get it back to this:

What's with all the black-crap on the roads? :S

 

[Turkish]

I've come to the conclusion its a mix of rocksalt, crap and moisture. Happened this time last year, my car was black top to bottom after two trips up and down the M5.

^^

Someone mentioned that it's not just grit.... but there's something else in the mix too.... they also use it on the continent...

Any ideas?

If you can still tell the original colour - keep trying. Good effort though Omar. 3/5 "Could try harder"

 

[fizzy_drink]

Lol!

This time last year... when I went to germany... my meggy was stealth black all over!

But that's 1500 miles return... so I guess that's why!

Still, not bad for 300 miles eh? Dammit... I bet all my wax has been stripped off now.

down here in Kent they're gritting the roads with some kind of sugar beet mixed with sand, bet that's going make a right mess:

Cool... I might just lick my car clean after all (I've fantasised about that for a long time).

(lick... lick)

I get a line of black s**t on the wondow if I open it a bit.

I can't read my rear number plate at the moment, front isn't far behind either. Best make it legal me thinks.

[Chris n nic]

Mine was like that until 15 minutes in Morrisons jet wash. lol. It comes off easy enough witha jet wash, but it's almost sticky to touch...

Should have taken a before shot really lol. Was pretty f**king shitty. The Clio's seem to get the dirtiest arse out of any car I've ever owned.

 

[badinvincible]

Agree with your last comment lout, the bumper seems to get f**king filthy.

Omar i thought you had the anthracite version of the Super L's for a min there lol

 

[Ali]

Rat sandwich was it?

 

[fizzy_drink]

Ooooh... rat sandwich (I think I had one from Morrisons the other day).
