I hate this weather! :x

You wouldnt believe it but I actually washed my car 3 days ago!
:o

I was driving to work yesterday and the amount of sh1te on the roads was SO bad, I used almost an entire reservior of screen wash just keeping my windscreen clear - I couldnt see through my lights - not good when you have to drive 50 miles to work on the motoray every day!

So how scankin's your nova?

Here's some pics of mine (I'm scared what that sh1te doing to my paintjob!)

just think of allllll that lovely salt getting into every nook and cranny around the shell and what it will be slowly doing it.

sorry for the non subtle approach but this is why i never drive mine in winter and leave it hidden away (thank god for company cars), i know summer is similar judging by the last one but all will be done for 2003 :lol: :lol:

weathers a bitch ennit - i wont take my car to a car wash either as they usually come out looking worse with streaks and everything everywhere, gonna have to start using jet wash, but dont like that either as people leave the tools all over floor - collect grit and shit ennit - wankas

so i will have to start my religious routine of washing car every weekend now or summat

have to go moms work and borrow there steam cleaner

Its not the driving the car that gets mine dirty, its where i park it,
I park across the way from a building site, theres nower else to park, and so all the mud off the roads gets blown onto the car by the lorries, its on the main road aswell, so other vehicles splash allsorts of shit onto it! the amount of dirt n dust n crap that gets onto my car is phenominal, i can was my car at lunchtime, and it'll b dirty by 5 o'clock, and that aint a lie!

I've not washed my car since the beginning of the month.

I've actually found the weather hasn't been too bad so far this winter. Either way I'm saving for a re-spray so hopefully as much rust as possible will be removed and the body work will be in good condiition. I'll try and keep it that way then, but for the moment I'm enjoying driving my car :)

:evil: bloody yahoo! :evil:

damn pics down again!!!

they keep changing naming conventions!!!

:evil:

For those that care - it was red now its black with sh1te!

Mind you its currently p1ssing it down outside - well heavy so hopefully it'll wash most of the crqap off the roads and take the dirt off my car aswell

:)
