Those wheels take some serious cleaning........but the end result is worth it!!!!!
I'm glad i had that option......just wish the black top was a little smoother and had less holes in it!!!!!

Unfortunately the route i drive to work every day has a lovely winding section of road that the pikeys (for the pc brigade and our US cousins......travellers, tinkers, gypsys) have decided to nick all the drain covers for scrap!!!!!!
So that can make the journey a little nervy!!!!

and lovely car. Unfortunately with April showers on full swing here, you will find that it is hard work keeping the body & wheels shiny like that all the time. But I suppose thats half the fun

Beautiful motor mate.

I totally agree about the roads and weather. Sadly i do live in the sticks and my 20's ACS have got two small dents in (thanks wincester council)

Buy a jet wash and a foam lance and just foam the sod every 5 days or so and the motor will be brand new again!
