Default In the owners words "so you can polish a turd"

In the owners words not mine. "so you can polish a turd" as you'll know nate and supercue are off on a charity run as ron and ron to wrc germany to raise money for diabetes (sp) uk. a charity close to Supercue as his daughter is effected by it. They're taking nate's scoob and because of this he wanted it looking all bufty to go with their outfits. I went round on saturday to dig the scoob out of the avery and give it a polish. the weather was against me. it just pee'd it down all day. i went back last night to give it another rinse down and finish off the roof and boot.

here's a couple of pics. sorry they're cr@p only had my phone with me:
