Well, show number two - a local 'concours' evening. We went along thinking it would be a few cars from the usual crowd but were suprised to find nearly 60 entrants, some of which quite hardcore with their detailing kits out in force.

Unfortunately no photos from us as the camera died :(
However there are some on teh Morecamber Car Club facebook page:

(No I'm not the one posing!)

There were som gorgeous cars there so we were suprised, and very proud, to come away with awards for Best Exterior, Best Engine Compartment & Car of The Show!!!


Next up is to stop the rear tyres rubbing the arches, despite the car not being that low na

It's not - just the first show was on a day where the roads were flooded and I'd spent far too long cleaning to spoil the work!

Pffft! Amateur!

Take one of those pumpy-pumpy-pressure-squirty bottles full of water & car shampoo with you.

I love your car, Graeme. You really deserve to enjoy it properly now.

Just need to get yours all sorted now :thumbsup:

I thought that type were easy to get and the wrap around ones more difficult?

The ones on the car at the beginning are genuine W&P ones.
