Blimey !! You must have her well trained !!

I cant even get mine to wash her own car let alone mine !!!

Nice looking car mate although please please please ditch the rear wing !!

Doesnt compliment the car, have you raised the bonnet at the back to get more hot air out ? Is it effective ?

Top looking Rex though.

I am the only one that washes my car, the other half is too scared to go anywhere near it. I seem to have set this invisible cloak shield around the car that set alarm bells ringing if a kid,football,greasy hand prints etc gets anywhere near it.  Cos my wife is too scared to drive it, not that she can\'t its just she will never forgive herself if she smashes it. ......nor would I !!!
So for that reason she is not on the insurance.

i wish i was able to tuck mine up for the winter.  ......in a nice cosy garage with a sheeps wool lined cover [opps woken up now].  
unfortunatly its my only car, so  looks like it will have to brave the grit and show me a good time, be it in a straight line or as the case is more likely to be....SIDEWAYS

lol, i think mine is going to be used less now that the weather has changed. the roads are greasy even on nice sunny days. took mine out for a quick spin on the weekend and it kept spinning the wheels when i put my foot down... which was no fun at all :(

tucked her back int he garage without a smile on my face :((

Having similar problems with just spinning the back wheels in current weather (mind you I am running jap tyres.. oops). Just need to get my garage all cleared out ready for winter, but will still be using it. Just dont want it lying outside all the time.
