Default Painting the Forth bridge

After spending another afternoon cleaning my car, the second in a row (Ian - pick yerself up off the floor) I have come to the conclusion that keeping my black car clean is very much like painting the Forth bridge - never f'ing ending.

So, anyone that wishes to see a black S2000 looking excellent, get to Fleet in the next ten minutes because at the SuperMeet my car will, no doubt, be dirtier than a Hugh Hefner wet dream.

Oh god, it looks like rain......

Keith - now you tell me!

I was driving through Fleet about an hour ago and I would given anything to see your car looking clean - I mean twice within the space of 2 weeks is nothing short of a miracle!!!

Keith, there is a commercial Jet Wash right near the Lord Hill (details on the SuperMeet site) so we want no such excuses; OK?

Nothing beats a shiny black stook.























Well maybe two shiny black stooks.

Hi Everyone,

Continuing with the general advertising theme that I've had all evening, I'd like to sing my praises for Auto Glym products. (I know this has probably been done many times before).

Washed my S with Auto Glym Bodywork Shampoo and Conditioner yesterday - came up a treat. This morning I polished the S with Super Resin Polish - WOW what a great product. Only took just over and hour and car is absolutely gleaming (car only three weeks old but has 2200 miles already!!). Well it was until I spent all afternoon driving and got it dirty again.

Tyringe - I know what you mean about cleaning. Spent yesterday, all morning today cleaning and seeing as I'm not working tomorrow what else have I to do!

Can't beat getting in a clean S and watching the heads turn as you drive down the road

Well Keith, I just ordered the Zymol Japon starter kit after Chris (Tifosi) persuaded me it was the way to go at the Basingstoke meet. My brand new black car looks like yours always does when I see it after only a week.
I have never in my life spent
