Following on from last year's thread, it's about time to start one for this winter. Ive just cleaned the panda ready for the winter but this is how it looked beforehand

Nope, can't do it.

Washed by hand once a week generally, once every two weeks max.
I used to be the same, 2 kids later and I do it when I can!

Doesn't seem to be the love for dirty Cars this year compared to last year. I'll give it another bump tho.

Here's mine currently. Much better than the Volvo from last winter.

Here's my contribution. 4 days of commuting down country lanes, the joys of living in the sticks. I've been slow sorting my new daily driver lease car so still using this as a daily!



This is what I'm talking about. Awesome.

No - just using it, I live in Devon the roads/lanes are 40% mud & st this time of year...... Great fun.

Its super clean underneath 160bhp and 165k on the clock and in almost daily use.... Despite having other cars this is always my first choice as its just "right"
Whoosh

Nothing wrong with that cool
I had a MK2 2001 XC70 a couple of years ago 2.4T. Probably one of the best cars I've owned. Had a V70R afterwards which was good, but not as good. Currently look at a late MK2, 2007 D5.

That Aygo is superbly manking!!!!

C1 great too but may not count if it's not a current pic!

I too am a fan of XC70/ V70 XC.

I drove a 2001ish early model - 'Ocean' edition? Was it Ocean? Some kind of edition and it was lovely. Wafty.
Ocean Race. That was what mine was.

Took this on the way to work this morning, as having not washed it in weeks, I thought it would be a decent attempt...turns out I was wrong;



Despite multiple trips up and down the M40, and a lot of commuting it still looks rather clean in a picture. Looks far worse in real life, although it is making me wonder how filthy some of the really dirty ones in this thread actually are!
Readers thread?
