I have this theory that when I wash the car something will break shortly after! Its happened a few times before, so I find it best not to wash it until I actually get filthy getting in & out! And then its a quick once over with a hosebrush....

Mind you I live down a very muddy and potholed track so if I wash it - its minging by the time I pull out of my track. Plus at this time of year with road salt & grit - its filthy after 10 miles anyway, especially if you get stuck behind a lorry or tractor!

That's my excuse, we live in the middle of a farm and have to go along a forest track to reach the road, it not just the mud you pick up in the winter, in the summer it gets covered in dust. :-D

At the moment both the Berlingo and C5 are utterly grim having covered a combined 1900 miles in the last 9 days between them. 1300 in the Berlingo, 600 in the C5.

Well, My C5 will be going for the Rally Look until I get the alloys sorted.

Some low life pond scum pinched a wheel trim! Why???????

Great to see Rattiva II again. Fond memories :-D

Both my working cars are very mucky. Hard to tell the colour of my C1.
