nixy Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 What a great feeling this morning - opening up the garage door, my pride and joy is stood there gleaming from the clean it had yesterday before I put it away. Lovely black tyres. Just got to work and it looks like a pig that's rolled in mud! Quote
Beavis Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 One of the great things about living in the UK, summers are not much better either. Bright yellow car and british weather = I have considered selling it just because of the weather in this country. Quote
nixy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 What I need is a little man to travel around with me touching the car up between journeys. Bit like film stars that travel with a hair and make-up crew. Quote
Stew Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I like cleaning my car so I don't mind..... Quote
nixy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 me too, I love cleaning the car, it's like a hobby to me BUT I hate driving it dirty and when you're at work all week in it and it's dark when you get home it's really frustrating! Do you want a job Stew? Stylist to my Zed? Quote
nixy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 but you have to live in the space above my garage. Quote
martinmac Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Hmmm, this is starting to sound like the plot to Mercy Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 could always cling film wrap your car after you clean it. drive to work, un-film it. and re clingfilm it before you drive home. will look spotless in the work carpark, but will look like a mobile packed lunch during the commute Quote
Stew Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 but you have to live in the space above my garage. Done! Quote

Beavis you need to move countries. Quote
Beavis Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Beavis you need to move countries. I have considered it bronzee Quote
bronzee Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Beavis you need to move countries. I have considered it bronzee Very cool. What countries take your fancy? Lol, sorry for the thread jack Nixy, I know what you mean about the Zed being dirty. Winter is so irritating attempting to keep a car clean. Quote
jim Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 What I need is a little man to travel around touching me up between journeys. Are things really that bad, Nixy? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 My car is absolutely disgusting. It's got more salt on it than a packet of Walkers crisps. Just going out to brave the cold and give it a wash Quote
jim Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 How very dare you! I wouldn't dare, honest! Quote
nixy Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 just done mine again - disgusting! Back in the garage now all sparkly clean UNTIL TOMORROW! Quote
bronzee Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Aaaw Nixy, we understand, know how you feel. Washed the Zeddy early on Saturday morning ready to go off to a car club meet, all shiny for the day,stayed that way all day. It was still shiny when I left home yesterday morning, then I got back to it yesterday afo to drive home after the trial, and birds had done massive dumps all over it. Target practice on the Sunset, me thinks. Poor Zed had another bath last night. This was on Saturday at the reserve backing onto the beach. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I think we should ban anyone who lives in a sunny climate posting up piccys during the British winter which by my reckoning is for around 9 months of the year Quote
nixy Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 I totally agree, although you can't beat the shine on a sunset in the sun! My ungritted village was like a skid pan this morning - lucky I got here in one piece never mind clean or dirty! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Take it easy Nixy. There's a time and a place for practising your drift technique Quote
bronzee Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I think we should ban anyone who lives in a sunny climate posting up piccys during the British winter which by my reckoning is for around 9 months of the year Aaaw, we have horrible Winter too, but it's when you're having Summer. It's been raining there the last two days if that makes you feel any better. Take it easy Nixy. There's a time and a place for practising your drift technique Need a set of D2's in the Zeddy Nixy?!
