Tinfoil on the reg-plate looks a good way to avoid the dreaded speed camera


I'll get me coat...

I was thinking more like come to Brighton and so mine
Acutally my Girlfriends dad got some polish stuff from a motor show which he used on his car and was fantastic, much better than all the things i've tried from halfords and cliffords etc, but i've yet to try it on mine, i always end up washing it in sunlight, which the polish doesn't like

Lovely looking car. Nice blue.

Top job.

I too own a Blue scoob, but eveytime I wash the car and then use Autoglym or Mer I get horrible swirl and swoosh marks.

In bright Sun and darkess it looks like someones painted the car with streaks of oil!

Got any tips?

Thanks for all the nice comments guys Cheers


HKSubaru Yes they are 18"s. Not to bad to clean either


MikesWagon Yeah I know what you mean. If the girlfriends bed ever colapses it wont go far with the stash of coke under it Nice meeting you again. Has ScoobyloobyLou got over the shock of loosing her car? Has he smashed yet

fdpxfunix The way I polish my car is to put the polish on to the rag first and not pour it on to the top of the car. I usually cover the car in polish and then put the glass polish on and leave that. Your car should now look very white indeed. Then I buff off the polish on the paint work followed by the glass. Any swirl marks I get I just go over with the polish rag as it still quite damp and then just buff that off. Try to do it when the car is cool. Direct sunlight is a killer as you mentioned before. Hope this helps.

Martin

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! - Handbags at dawn is it!!

Hotmail AFAIK seems to be OK?

I was going to say that if it looks like a pimpmobile and sounds like a pimpmobile (Only a small SS B/Box after all) then it normally will be.................

ONLY JOKING. The car looks great.

Is there a reason behind the storage of the cans under the bed of are they a backup as you seem to spend a lot of your time in her bed (oo-er missus, I'll get me coat!)

See ya in 7!

Cheers Turboteeth. It does not stay like that for long though


As for you Wuz. What sort of exhaust have you got on your car again? Not the standard one is it?

As for my exhaust just a small scoobysport one like you mentioned plus a TSL centre section now.

See you in 7 mate.
