My new (to me) winter daily. This audi is possibly the muckiest car I've owned, I don't understand how it picks up so much filth!
I recognise that Waitrose wink and to be fair the roads around here are exceptionally minging at the moment. As well as wet, they seem to have a layer of grime and mud sloshing about. Seems worse than other years despite the fact we’ve not had much gritting this year.

I am sorry but I have caved, the car had reached the point where I didn't actually want to touch it anymore to get in, thankfully it had an electronic boot so you didn't have to get dirty fingers but I did dirty some clean jeans leaning against the bumper to reach into the boot.


As a bonus I have included a picture of my MX5 after an icy morning and salted track at Oulton Park back in February.

Booo.



Sadly I gave in and cleaned it a day after taking that. Since cleaning it has developed a squeaking from the nearside front. Lesson: keep dirty.

Going on 3 months I think. 3rd time I’ve done the plates and lights.

Thanks.

It may look that way.

How well do you know your CSLs?

Great effort, where had you been to get it that dirty?
Cue outrage for not using rear wiper laugh

This appeared on my car while in the office car park.
It’s got worse, I’m going to have to bow out and wash it after work.

This was on my works laptop dated 2016. I presume it was saved off this thread from back then but just had to share.

Hopefully, if it was posted here the original OP will appear and take credit biggrin

Doing about 300 miles a week just now so will present my own effort at some point.

EDIT - Just seen the owners reply and it doesn’t seem like the same car. Very cool all the same!

I used to occasionally see a super filthy white GT3 on the M5, it may well be this one as I can’t imagine many are used in this manor. Used to make me smile seeing it being used in the awful weather.

I’ll try and put a photo up of my dirty Porsche this evening, the box arches seem to catch all sorts of gunk!
