Willy P Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I decided to wash my car yesterday (in the freezing weather) and then went for a pub walk between The Lamb Inn in Lambs Green and The Plough in Rusper. Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my car whilst it's clean. Treacherous roads though... I hope you all had a merry christmas, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesc Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I've been to The Plough a couple of times. I'm not too far away from you it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Love the first two pics for different reasons. Hope you've got some shoe shoes on the beasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy P Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I've been to The Plough a couple of times. I'm not too far away from you it would seem. Yeah, I'm just down the road in Horsham, where abouts are you? Love the first two pics for different reasons. Hope you've got some shoe shoes on the beasty. Still rolling on nasty nankangs seeing as they still have tread. I have the money put aside for a set of Falkens but I don't want to get rid of relatively new tyres, regardless of how slippery they are. I'm used to them now anyway. The way I see it, when I get new ones it will be such a shock how much more grip there is it'll feel like a totally new car again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good way of warming up after freezing your knackers off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy P Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'm in Crawley Have yet to pick up my Zed, but hopefully will be in the next week or two. Gunmetal too you've been on here ove a year and still waiting to pick up your zed? Also, why you blushing about being in Crawley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I washed mine the other day in -4 temps. It took twice as long to clean because the car was so cold and the air around it froze the water to the car. Managed in the end and she looks great. Going to finish her off today with a polish with my DA and get her ready for Jan weather lol. I may even take her out for a photo shoot if I can find a suitable location without her getting too dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunmetal too you've been on here ove a year and still waiting to pick up your zed? Also, why you blushing about being in Crawley? When I first registered on here I was looking at getting either the 350Z or RX-8. I chose the RX8 because I'm impatient Needless to say, I have put it up for sale and have put a deposit on a Gunmetal 350z but I can't pick it up until the bloody Mazda is gone I have friends in Horsham and they have a few choice words to describe my beloved town!

Get better shoes on, and flick the others on fleaby or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I thought that might be your response, we are a bit snobby round here. We always take the pi55 out of our Crawley mates as well but it's all in jest. There are quite a few rotary converts on here, what was the final straw for you? Wanted the low end power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get better shoes on, and flick the others on fleaby or something. Yeah perhaps I will part with some cash but I'm a little skint at the moment. I have had some scary moments on those tyres They seem like they have all the grip in the world and then they just throw you off. I've learnt that, at least in these conditions, it's a point -and-squirt machine. No sense in trying to put any power down whilst stearing, especially with these tyres as all hell will break loose.

The RX-8 is a great car, but I've grown tired of its power delivery, constant 13mpg and generall quirkiness. I'm also wary of the fact that the engine can go boom at any time. It's just too much of a headache really. I really cannot wait until I get in a car with a proper engine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
