Default Clean Toy(s) - Photos

Just had a very therapeutic few hours cleaning the bugs off the blackbird, and the brake dust off the S

A bit sad, but rewarding............ until the next rain






Car booked in for the Oil Bolt / Spark plug thingy's on Wednesday, hoping all goes well?

Yes! For two days to get the recall work and a new rear window.

We can choose our own cars - but can't choose our neighbours

How do you not get the oxidised rotors when you wash?

you drive it round the block for 2mins and touch the brakes to wipe off the rust - leaves them nice and shiny before you take the pic. Car manuals normally suggest you do that to take care of the rotor surface.

Couldn't do anything about the Volvo - but I cleaned the rotors and shut the garage doors!
