Whoo, Cleaning new Car

Postby G UK » Sat 27.10.2007, 20:28

Just spent several hours giving her a good clean inside and out and it decides to rain just as I stand back and think Job Done. :banghead:

Couldn't even put her in the Garage because I was at my Dads house stealing all his car cleaning kit. :-D

Decided that being as though she was now wet anyway I may as well take her for a little trip down the country lanes :rally: which must be one of the most enjoyable motoring experiences possible. In fact I was having so much fun I discovered one of my Intake pipes wasn't secured properly. So with toe down I suddenly here an almighty HISSSSS of escaping air and very carefully limped home where I found a Jubilee clip wasn't secured properly. To put it simply I almost cacked myself.

Will probably take a few more tomorrow although I reckon the interior needs sprucing up a bit.

Ekapol, that road is one of the best (and worst) we've got.
It's officially the most dangerous road in Britain, mainly because lots of bikers go up there after watching Moto GP and thinking "it's not that hard, I can be The Doctor too", and end up simply seeing lots of doctors!

Have a read about it here.
Oh and this is a good idea for a site which gives a nice little tour and "pace notes"!

Oh and G, great pics, but if you're taking the trouble to blank out your number plate, then you might as well reduce the pic size just slightly to 600 x 450 pixels. It then displays them in the thread rather than putting them in those annoying "download" boxes, and keeps your upload quota down too (so you can post more)! :D
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

A537 - The Cat and Fiddle

COMMON HAZARDS :

* Vehicles coming at you on the wrong side of the road
* Arriving at recent crash site(s)
* Diesel spills (sometimes alleged to be deliberate local sabotage !)
* Random grit dropped on the road by various trucks
* Sheep


Guess they ain't kiddin' huh :evil:
