Dirty Cars - Winter 16/17

[moreismore]

Portsmouth to Staffordshire a few years ago in heavy snow, much sideways

It's not in the same league of cool or of dirty as the GT4 Lusso, but this was the weekend after I got the RS4 and we decided to take it to Wales. In March.

Miss this car...

Last year's efforts, still early days this year...

And an older one to compensate for the relatively clean ones above:

I had a contender going for this thread but while in the lakes dirt got into the housing holding the wheel speed sensor which then wore away the sensor... and the dealership cleaned the car after replacing the sensor

Love it!

Even better that it's a 50th anniversary, most of which seem to be garage queens - please tell me it's a manual, instead of the usual PDK.

Certainly not a garage queen - 30k of hard miles done so far! PDK i'm afraid but horses for courses and all that.....

Some excellent examples, Ferrari and 50th anniversary 911 but also some terrible terrible efforts. Some of those cars are not dirty, not even close.

Taken a few years ago during a euro trip, stopped off at the Nordschleife.

Would have taken a snap of mine today but the wind and the rain up here has washed it!!!! Nearly cleaner then when it actually does gets washed!

That had nothing to do with sandstorms and a lot to do with donuts...

Does the paint not get scratches though?

All those people with dirty salt covered cars....come the spring when the sun comes out the paint work will look terrible, not to mention all of the accelerated corrosion. I just could not do it, mines off the road for a few months.
Mind you I suspect most new expensive cars get handed back to the finance company after a year or two, so drivers don't care.

All 50th Anniversary 911s I've seen (advertised or in the metal) seem to be PDK - If I had the money I'd love a manual one, the special details are just stunning on that car (I don't have the money so its not really an issue). I'm just glad to hear your using it as it was intended.

I think your head might be too far up your own arse there
