depends how desperate they are, but on my latest I had mats, full tank and 5 years servicing

fuel and mats should all be agreed / negotiated for before you even arrange a pickup date - thats something I hammer home when they're still trying to get me to sign

Bilt hamber clay bar

 

/close thread

 

This.

 

Or better still a clay cloth....

I have one ...... but how long should you keep them (or how many uses)

nobody's actually mentioned their preferred weapon of choice yet for the clay bar (other than megs)

gotcha - I see it now

not sure what you're referring to ........... is it the rusty looking coily bits behind the springs ....... if so, how do you go about removing those ???

This is going to be soooooo beautiful when its finished

I once got vascar'd from a motorway bridge doing 60 in a 50 - we were on our way to the airport and I was in no hurry, so had been doing that speed for quite a while and just hadn't spotted the restriction. Anyway, couple of weeks later, letter in the post saying the usual - I thought that there was no way I had been speeding on that stretch, so contested it - requested the full details and got a pre typed form in the post with the missing bits filled in by the pair on the bridge ie date speed time etc - except the date was wrong and it also had "and my colleague reported the number plate to me ....."

I let it go to court with a letter statement from me stating it can't have been me me as I was elsewhere on the date they recorded and hearsay ie "my colleague said"

it got adjourned

they sent me a revised statement with crossings out on it

it went back to court and I wrote another letter because they'd still got something wrong (can't remember what) - it got adjourned again

couple of days later I got a knock on the door from a pair of local bobbies looking rather embarrassed with another statement altered (the original offence was in the borough of Avon - I'm in SW Wales)

went back to court I obviously complained about the "amendments to the statement" - got a £40 fine and no points - so a sort of a win

that was easily 20 years ago - never been stopped or otherwise since (hastily touching wood)

ANY NEW IDEAS FOR MODS MOST WELCOME

a new keyboard that doesn't have caps lock on ????

I'd go with red on black or preferably boaty McBoatFace

I really enjoyed both cars..........but for very different reasons

the TT was a far more practical car and drove like it was on rails, but if you wanted to let it loose ......... it was quite difficult. The AWD was superb in the snow

The 370 was a much better looking car, although the TT wins on interior - but only just

which would I choose - the 370, but would never turn down a TT

this is obviously my taste and opinion - as other have said - you need to try them - I was always able to manage unaccompanied drives of 24hours if they could see you were genuinely interested

dodo supernatural ?

the whole vid appears to be just Russians (or eastern bloc) ...... are any of them even remotely aware of other road users

 

The Zed vid looks like the US though , generally Russians seem to drive the way I play Grand Theft auto

The zed was definitely playing GTA

You can wax this film but dont use compounds or polishes.

what waxes are safe - the ones with petroleum, I'm aware are the ones to avoid

I had expel applied (after a full detail) to the bumper, bonnet and front wings only on the Jag about 7-8 months ago

to be fair, you can see the edges (its a template cut), but you have to be pretty close to see it, however I have none, zero, zilch stone chips on the front end.

sadly, I didn't do the doors and typically had some stupid b1tch scratch it (its only small but its through to the primer) with either a handbag or something else sharp on her person - I have video footage, but couldn't ultimately identify them

So, for all those doubters out there - if you hate stone chips - do this !! - ceramic coating gives you a nice finish and easy cleaning but won't protect against stones

Keyser's holding his black chopper in the photo

he really should go and see a doctor about that ....

nothing will beat a good 'ol van for those mundane everyday tasks

also ............... there are many, many threads on this subject

take a scoot through

Here's hoping a new pussy cat has now taken permanent residence

for the route - set yourselves up a group message ............ highly recommend not posting it on a public thread

moved

I would suggest you add some photos here as well as opposed to just a link
