Looks awesome :) I live in Stourbridge too and have recently bought a new run around although it has died and is in the mercedes garage in Stour!! They look so looooong!!

Regards Blue

Uh oh! What happened?

I live in Malvern, but take the car to Simply Alfas in Lye. I just jump on the train when I leave it there. Takes about 35 mins to get there, but definitely worth it! :)

Bloody sun roof on him broke and it being electric is a pain in the bum!!! means I can't fix it. I live about 5 minutes from lye quite dodgy in some parts, but I suppose you could say that about a lot of places :)
Regards Blue

Just sorted insurance for our second year together!


Ordered & received some new grills for the front bumper - I have a mysterious hole in one of them!


Anyone want to come 'round and clean it?

It's bigger than my Mini ...! I run out of time at the jet wash!!

Don't use the jet wash then, does more bad than good those things...

I don't use the automatic car wash - I use the jet wash - the pressure washer & the hot foam brush!

The hot foam brush that the last person dumped on the floor? :-P

It's why when I've never let my sister have her car washed by the people in Sainsbury's car park, same dirty water for every car!

It's too big. I can't do it. I can't hand wash it! I'd be there hours. Eurgh.

I have a funeral to go to on Friday, which means I have to wash it tomorrow.



I wonder if I can get a lift ...

It's only an Alfa, I've washed Range Rovers on my own. I'm only 5 ft 8.

What time will you be around, then?

[Noah]

What time will you be around, then?

well, 9-5:30 but close enough...

[Bean]

You're going to take 8 1/2 hours to clean it!?

Eurgh. I'll do it myself.


In other news - if anyone sees any 18" alloys for a 159, please point me in the direction of them?

what i done on my own to our new van yesterday, a big van, took me about 7 hours:

• sat on the roof and scrubbed all the whole roof
• unbolted the front seats and took out painted the bases, hoovered the seats. and removed the centre console
• washed and scrubbed the cab
• cleaned the doors and dash from the concrete dusted then gave the inside all over a good wipe with wd40 to get that clean shine
• then took the wooden rack our the back
• hoovered the back
• then took all the seals off and cleaned them and put them backing on
• fixed the sliding door
• took all the stickers off
• washed the van all over
• changed the oil and filter.
• Installed a performance air filter and modded the air box
• put the seats back in and centre console

if i did all that in 7 hours then im sure your can give a car a good wash over and quick hoover in a hour or two

Yeeeahhh. Could do!








I didn't wash it though.

[Bean]

Washed it!

Then took it out - got covered in rain, mud & ended up following a hay lorry .. so the hay then stuck to all the stuff on the car!

It's grotty again!
