well define irony.

decided after work that id like a run out in the car incase the weather turned bad for a while. problem is the car is a little bit dirty. no problem il nip down the shops and buy a sponge as iv run out. perfectly reasonable excuse to take the car out. i need a 30p sponge.

so ened up doing 150 miles ound inverurie up to oldmeldrum onto banff and beyond and back again!




turbo power beats wind power


dirty girl!






so had some photo's on the way back but they didnt turn out great. caught up to an r32 skyline who must have been sleeping as when i passed him he suddenly decided he had a right foot. also did a bit of carbon offsetting by hooring it past a toyota prius. im sure the driver was muttering under his breath when i pulled infront!!

anyway about those sponges


of course what other normal shopping cars do you take to tesco



ah yes of course a tvr



stopped in past fennal to have a chat with the owner, sound guy and a true petrol head.

ok so back to the the sponge


preparing to clean




er, never got a sponge from tesco did i.... i had one in the garage all the time asda rules!


lazy way to hose the car down, actually i was going for the creating a car at the end of a rainbow and failed



i love my car but not that much, mid wash


almost done wheels are a different colour now!!!



attempt at an arty shot..



took too long fannying about with the camera that the remaining water on the car is starting to freeze as well as my hands!!




yeh yeh yeh you say whats the point of that car its not like its practical

Haven't been to Boyndie in years. A friend of mine went a couple years ago and our dads shop sponsor sign was still up on the wall hehe

Cars lookin great, tho I gotta say, getting the golf bag behind the seat is just damn cheeky, any normal sized person couldn't do that wink

and the sagaris is looking dirty as ever!

yes everything is well and the new tyres are brilliant. a little understeery though i suspect thats due to it being less than 7-8 degrees and not optimal for temperatures. so impressed with the overal grip and traction. 2nd gear full throttle in the wet (straight line of course) and it just takes off.

love to see a few new pics of yours scotty.

The skis are kinda cheating as well, given that they'll be about as long as an average pair of snowblades! wink

My theory on a car is it should always look either spotless or totally filthy!

Piece of trivia my Dad pointed out, the kart on the GKC sign was actually processed from a photo of me in my cadet kart... probably knocking on for almost 13 years ago now which typing that out makes me feel ridiculously old! (and probably means they need to update their signage!)
