First winter clean.
This isnt going to be the best 'i just washed my car' thread. but ill give it a go.
So i just got my bucket and sponge out for its first winter clean of the year. didnt come up to badly in the nice winter welsh sun.
took a few pictures with my phone so not to great. but my mothers stolen the camera to take some pictures of some george micheal geezer.
these are also the first pictures to be posted since those stupid 17s disappeared.
RIP.
i await your compliments and abuse both are welcome
Thanks.

clutch, central locking, water leaks, exhaust kept falling off, rubbing, squeaking.
it just seemed that i had the car and then as soon as the warranty ended. all the problems began. complete nightmare tbh.
im not to keen on the vtr wheels myself. i kinda miss the WOW that the 17s give off. its not as noticable anymore.
