I bet thats about the same as a 355 in size / scale ?

It's the Lotus Exige S V6, but with the roof removed.

Can't say about size vs a 355, but it's smaller than a TR...

As Ferdinand Porsche once said: "Our cars are for driving, Not polishing!"

Not as extreme as some but had to visit a site yesterday and thought this was quite artistically applied!



Then a passing skip wagon kindly applied some to the other side...

Not my car or really a winter dirty car, but you have to admire the patience to keep it this dirty,

That's not patience, that's neglect!

I would agree, nothing to be proud of IMO

I was not going to wash my Van until next year, but have cleaned it at least twice. I hate the finger marks in the dirt and reduced visibility on side windows, due to dirt build up.

Aaaaargh!! Finger marks on the boot!

I was well on the way to a good dirty car for the thread when the wife shut the boot using the hatch leaving smudgy fingerprints...I had to clean the whole car. I just couldn't live with it!!

Blanked out the already non-visible number plate

corrosion: out of sight, out of mind

some on roof rails, but common. some peel on door from cheap repair before my ownership. other than that, pretty clear...
