How can you spend 3 hours on a car which basicly has nothing to it?

Could be worse Rich, I just spent longer doing the Liz and the f***ing Smart car! :(

The Smart car is going in to a show at Ocean Terminal so needed to be A1 and the only way i could find the motivation to do it was to clean the Liz at the same time :D

should be out driving it.

the only time as elise should be washed is when its in the garage to be fixed (so therefore couldnt be driven anyway) or when someone else does it for you ( whilst you are at work, and therefore couldnt drive it anyway)

Not saying it shouldnt be cleaned, just that you need to get your priorities right. :lol:

The stuff lying about that room looks like the aftermath of a Village People themed fancy dress party.....

Richard,

Cracking effort. You need some tyre wall black for that though. Halfords 2 in 1 tyre clean and shine is what you want :-)

Get that brand new look back, you'll be amazed how much it brings out the rest of the car.

And I suppose your going to "claim" that the rope lying about is for the tow ropes your making for people and absolutly nothing else. :wink:

Of course it is! All that stuff is under the bed! (Sisal chafes!) :wink:

If anyone wants ropes for an other purpose I can get nice cotton rag rope...... :shock:

(Actually I can and it's really soft! :wink:)
