Don't panic Luke, ive got some men in white coats on their way to take you away ..... A Maestro!
Got to be careful here as there is a MG Maestro owner on the forum ...
I saw that at the Classic car show, lovely isnt it
My uncle used to have one, kind of got passed around the family. Up until then he said it was the best car he had owned, it replaced his Lada Samara, the Maestro was replaced by a Skoda Felicia ... Real taste in cars
You will be on with Montegos and Metros in a minute
Two very nice Montegos sitting next to that Maestro in the above pic ... Who knows what else, Datsun Cherrys and Toyota Corrolas .... Dull.
Stick with the Renaults Luke or most French cars, you dont want to get bogged down in all of that rust and dullness of some old tat!
Ok, so when i was 6-ish i liked the following cars .... well best not go there as its embarrassing, but it did include some of the mentioned Fords. I might have liked them then, but id have to be paid to own one now.
Nice dash lights, obviously its in fine fettle, there are no warning lights! Or is that a tyre pressure warning light?
Dog hairs ... how i hate those!
The best way to get them out is a strong hoover, my dyson seems good at pulling them out of carpets and seats. I usually hoover the boot floor with the upright bit, then do the sides with the hose bit. It can take a while but as i try to hoover my car every week the hairs never get into the carpet grain. Plus my dogs are short haired which makes it easier. So tempted to buy an old heap (Escrot?) just for the dogs car!
I also have a thing which looks like a saw blade in a wooden handle, thats good for getting hairs out of velour seats (not to be used on any other material though) And something which looks like a thick wiper blade rubber with a plastic handle, that can be used on all seats and is very good.
As i hoover mine so often i dont have a problem with dog hairs, but i know when buying cars which have not been hoovered for ages it can take a while to get them looking anywhere near tidy.
Some carpets and seats in cars are worse than others, C5s arnt too bad but our old Saxo had carpets like magnets, every bit of dust or hairs would weave into them, awful.
Just keep at it, they should come out eventually. As long as it doesnt smell of dogs! That is hard to get rid of. My dogs get bathed regularly and are short haired so dont smell.
Failing that, try some really sticky selotape ... i remember my dad saying that when he bought a Renault 5 (the very early type way before my time) he spent days picking dog hairs out of the seats with a pin! Before hoovers maybe!
How are you enjoying being behind the wheel of your Meganes big brother? How do they compare? Handling, ride, comfort etc.
