I haven't a clue about mechanicals, but I do enjoy pottering with the appearance.

I often spend 10 mins, just cleaning and enhancing.

Nothing special but it makes me happy.

Paul

The Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge offers a number of descriptions which might be applied to coupes...
  • those belonging to the Emperor
  • fabled ones
  • those included in this classification
  • those that tremble as if they were mad
  • those drawn with a very fine camel hair brush
  • those that from afar look like flies


I'll get my coat... coat

Even when Neil is talking sense I seldom understand him.

Paul your car looks great, I can never keep mine clean under the bonnet, it lives under some trees and the leaves always manage to find a way in. I'm slightly heartened by the prop holding up the bonnet though! maybe this is what he's on about, the striving for perfection, unless your an Emperor.

Prop ?

I thought that it was original equipment.

The man at the main dealer, with his fingers crossed, said that it was.


Handy for a game leg, snooker queue, flag pole.
Edinburgh wanted me to shell out for proper rams, I got palpitations.

This is probably as apt a description of Neil as you'll get laugh

Looks nice and tidy. That water bottle would look better for a clean out mind.

Puts mine to shame,

I recently spent some time doing some cleaning under the hood of mine-but yours puts mine to shame.

Something to aim for!

Regards

Thanks for all the kind words.

I've been lucky with my car. All of the 623 previous owners seem to have tried their best with it.

Steve across the road laughs, when I clean the car a panel at a time !
It all gets a very good wash regularly, then a bit gets rewashed, clayed, polished and waxed.

My psychiatrist says that it helps me.
My wife thinks that a good slap would give the same result.
