Dirty Cars Winter 19/20

[illmonkey]

The roads wern't making it dirty enough, so got it on track. Still not that dirty! Bloody good fun though

My effort. The colour hides the grime rather well, but hopefully telling you the alloys should be black helps perspective

i dont see even a mild fun factor of posting pics of how dirty your car looks. youd think on a car enthusiasts site everyone would be well into keeping theirs clean and certainly not wanting to share photos of it all mucked up. bizarre. you could at least jazz things up a bit with some juvenile writing in the dirt like you see on the back of vans.....

what next.....how many crumbs in your centre console ?

Couple of reasons really - some cars can look quite purposeful with abit of snot and grime on them, and also because it’s an antidote to all the cherished cars being put into hibernation

Why So serious? At least in my case it’s an attempt to make the gen III mini less ugly on the eye

I don’t think this thread is for you. I drive 5-600 miles a week, if I wash my car it’s dirty again within two days, so to me there’s no point washing it during winter. Posting it on here just makes it a bit more fun really.
One from Sunday, pictures do it justice, my jeans got dirty on Sunday from brushing past the car.

Toothbrushman = crawling all over his cars with a toothbrush! Boring.

I’m with you brush man but I’ve done my back in, so my usual car cleaning routine is out the window. So I posted my picture as it’s the dirtiest it’s been!

You drive a shed no?

Nothing cooler than a filthy car, preferably an exotic one.

I agree. There was a picture on one of these threads of some exotica after a run - they looked fantastic.

I also remember seeing a well used Elise at Malton and thinking it looked infinitely better than all the polished stuff in the car parks.

Detailing world is your forum. People who own cars but never drive them.

This! Long live a dirty winter car!

In for a service tomorrow so will be making the most of the free valet. Or paying £300 to get the car cleaned 🤔

Other half is taking a couple of her colleagues in the car tomorrow so asked me to give it a quick pressure wash

It would have been funny as someone else mentioned if you had left it like that.

Normally go for boring colours myself but that looks great even when dirty.

Nice effort. I have a Mini Clubman in silver/white and the alloys that give it away.

Been trying for weeks but it keeps raining

[carlove]

I’ve caved. It’s too dirty.

I'm just waiting for a dry day! So I can get some photos to post an advert to try to sell it.
