Not the dirtiest on here but, this was just from a early morning run on Saturday.


I passed you (going in the opposite direction) - all I thought was "brave man" - it was freezing!!

New 530d is getting there.... biggrin

Off to Germany on Thursday from Northern England so it should be a bit more thread-worthy when I'm back.

I wouldn't be too sure - just went from Essex to Trier (so not as far as you're looking at!) but the car remains disappointingly un-filthy frown

This is all coming along very nicely. Doing a lot of rural driving just now.

My Cooper S was in a similar state but couldn't get a pic to show just how dirty it was. Then it rained and buggered up my efforts... Gave in today and washed it but that just means it's fresh for a good coating of new muck biggrin

My spin on the thread. One action cam after one drive.... it wasn't even raining!

Took about 30 minutes to go from sparkling clean, to that.

Nice! But why the rear wiper delete?

No off-roading involved, just a couple of days A and B road commuting...

A previous owner did it, presumably to ensure it could never be cleaned.

That plus a non working reverse light makes things very, very interesting, especially in the dark!

Some of the guys at my place of work make a good effort, driving 500+ miles per week around sites means pretty dirty cars!

I didn't realise you were on here, sir.

Keep up the excellent work - your content is brilliant. Even if this time of year is destroying your camera.

Superb work. I can now see the appeal of a white car bow

Cheers. Yeah their company cars typically have to be white as they're used as site vehicles with high-vis markings etc, so white is preferred - which obviously means they get utterly filthy biggrin
