First Wash Of 2008: Cup/Trophy



Today was the day that I removed a few months of grime :eek:
I'm normally pretty good with keeping my cars clean over winter but I covered a lot of shifts over xmas and new year so I did a fair lick of commuting over gritted roads which down south tends to be some artificial crap made from organic substances!

Anyhow I took full advantage of Ady182 of shine-detailing.co.uk's tea making facilities and driveway.

As you can see there was rather a lot of dirt to remove!

Along came the rain which meant I didn't have to towel dry (I hate this bit).
Once it had passed over the sun sorta come out so we headed down to a local beauty spot (Portsmouth remember) for a little photoshoot:

Yes, I know you'll all ask "where's the splitter?"
This is all that is left of it anyhow!
Dansta wins the bet :(

  Whichever has fuel
Sounds daft me ol' fruit, but your car actually looks better in the flesh? Most look better in the pics, but you would be different wouldn't you...

VVV nice car anyway.
 
Both cars looking sweet, wish mine had a similar level of shine after just a wash.

6x4 looks like it's hanging low.

Dan always gets away with it! Mine was the same height as yours day... And it had had a fetish for stones until one day it took a real hit

Do you miss Jinx at all Mark?

Yup! The VTS was a cracking replacement until i gave that to the mrs! I will get another Cup though! Just going to settle down into my house with the mrs and then ill be on the look out :D
 
haha! good skills there Day. Really cant be arsed to wash mine yet...

my splitter is still going strong. There actually shitload of speed humps on my new main road and one i actually ALWAYS scrape no matter how slow i take it unless i take it at an angle which pisses people off. It helps that Mike bolted the new fucker on with about 15 screws! pmsl

Really like the harnesses in the trophy - are they legal in a road car?
 
I think his are.

He uses the normal belt for everyday use. Only ever seen him use them at the Nurburgring.
