Gave mine a wash today - parked on a farm track the other day, came back to the car and one side was pretty much completely covered in mud, the other side was still clean! Both sides are now sparkling again

Looking good Kieran

Got my over mats dry cleaned and for my troubles I ended up with a flat tyre, anyhow took said wheel to a well known tyre replacement firm on the high street, only to get a call half an hour later, its my alloy that is corroded on the inner lip. Now struck with a space save on the front for a few days, until sorted

Needs washing badly everytime I go too do it starts raining and it puts me off lol. But I agree it needs washing bad . I've got my door handles too fit aswell but haven't been able to do it due to the rain , just been out for a drive and those 6000k's are a whole lot better I can actually see a good distance ahead as opposed to before the 10k's weren't altogether bad but a mixture of rain and misted windscreen glass I didn't feel comfortable.

Grrrr you have to rearrange youre life according too rain.

Took my boy and his mate to play their first football match and ended up with very muddy cream leather back seats. Cleaning tomorrow!

Be a man and take a soft broom to the car when it's raining.
I do, it's rain, from the same sky.
Amazing that even in a photograph those lights are a pain in the arse
Just saw a bloke doing the weather on the Japanese news? Huh??????????
What is it, international swapping roles day?
I'm gutted
