They are not circular they are more left to right
The paint was like new and they have cleaned it at least 4 times before with no issue.
Just this time I was there mid day.
He told me they only change the water twice a day!!!!!!

You will all be pleased to know I spent 4 hours of my valuable time today washing and polishing my car.
It looks as good as new still a little scratched but the Autoglym paint restorer and super resin polish did a good job.
I even cleaned her inside the doors car and my next door neighbours new Bmer!!!
Really enjoyed mysely to be honest.
Has anyone else noticed how bad the paint is at the front doors right at the bottom almost where they join the front wings?????
Shockingly bad!!!!!!

they did'nt have a problem with speeding & said both hated speed camara's

the No. plate recon system coul'nt read the plate so they stopped me & asked me to clean it, fair point as if the car was stolen etc it would'nt flash up £30 no endorsable btw but they let me off as it was xmas? Asked me to build up speed on the hard shoulder b4 re joining the m/way so I did not disapoint (1/2 ton of gravel must of peppered the front of the volvo .

Fair play to them thou, 2 nice coppers on the whole, pity a few more don't think the same way.

GOOD EFFORT!!!!
Mate they were just lulling you into a false sense of security....there is no such thing as a nice copper!!!!!
My own opinion of course.
I left the chinky at the back of the Market Square in St.Neots the other Sat night and gave it a little welly in first gear.
Cant have been doing more than 30mph and a copper just stood out at the end of the road with his hand up.
I nearly ran the **** over!!!
I wound the window down and said"What??"
I dont think he was too impressed by my manner.
Can you keep your speed down he said......I told him I was in first gear and he said " I dont care"
I drove off and gave it some round the corner still NOT speeding in a built up area I might add.
So my cars a little noisey!!!!!
I used to respect them but have had a few dealings with some and have seen a different side now.
I know theyre not all like that but you just cant trust em.
