Can appreciate the amount of work that's gone into it.... but not my cup of tea.

The only person that sees my engine is the bloke at the garage when it's being serviced, what's the point?

Poser's engine. PMSL

So cos his engine is clean then he doesnt drive his car?

Thats a bit of a unjustified statement dont ya think?

Gotta love you guys

unjustified lol, just look at the work time and effort that must have went into keeping that bay clean, how in gods name does he find time to drive it



i suppose its not in the UK so he wont have all that salt and crap to mess it up...... Scoobytoo's engine bay is a bit like that too aint it


Very nice, but personly, i dont have the time to keep it like that, so it aint for me.

On saying that, i know of a set of lads who probably would keep it like that for you, was in STRATTFORD high street on saturday when i was in london, stopped to get some much needed fuel, (at the Texaco ) and the car was a little grubby, For £5 i have never seen such good work at a hand WASH


inside all the doors, sills and the windows polished, as well as a full dry down, not with the horrible flexi wipes either



top job

Makes you wonder if he's actually had the guts to switch on the Nitrous without feer of making the pistons moulten blobs of metal in the sump and sparying his lovely engine bay with oil when a rod goes out the top of the bock.

Anyway, I agree I can't see how a clean engine bay means a car isn't driven.

My cousin has had several show cars. One a 150bhp MKII XR2 and the other a 4?0BHP Shapy Cossie, obviously the engine bays on both vehicles had many many mods to achieve the power. But also, he made an effort in making it nice and shiny, neat and tidy - as was the suspension, subframes and underside of the car. As it was meant for concours as well as driving purposes.

But they did get used - very well used indeed

We heard you the first time

First reversed inlet manifold I've seen that retains the aircon, wonder if that can be done on a classic?
