Question

Anyone esle out there got a Scoob shinier than a new penny?

Not just all those with Wax Wizard treatment, but real concours standard?
I reckon Nito's wagon is a strong contender (from the photos at least). Any others?

Well, I did have the cleanest one, until this morning when I drove into work. I now hold the title for dirtiest scooby in the UK. People walk by screaming 'unclean, unclean!'

Call me weird, but I actualy like it when my car looks dirty! Mud and grim over the wheel arches, streaks over the bonnet making an interesting patten where they meet the scoop. Gives it a 'I'm a working car, so don't give me any trouble' look

Also, don't always have time to wash it.

And before anyone comments, yes, I do try to keep it clean during these salt strewn winter days..

Nah! My old '99 car was the cleanest - I had it from new and it was never taken out in the rain, and kept under a cover in the garage as well, so there.

My wife even caught me vacuuming the dust off the wheels after a run one day! Beat that!

Oh god I am sad.

Please stop this behaviour immediately. You are setting a very bad precedent for the car

It'll just get to expect this sort of "spoiling"

Oh and they go quicker when they're dirty

Floyd,

That's fantastic. I thought using a toothbrush on the wheels was a bit left-field,
but hoovering the tyres has to be worthy of some sort of award. I'm sure someone can suggest a suitable title....

Dane, the owner of Adams Subaru in Aylesbury has a 22b type UK that don't look like it's ever seen the light of day. I'm not sure it's even been used!

Surely it's gotta be the cleanest.

I called in last year, saw it, was bowled over by it and bought a P1. There's testament for you.

One day I'd like to buy the 22B, but they want £49,000 for it.....

Regards
Kurt

I used to have a Sport - that was washed regularly every 6 months whether it needed it or not!

Then I bought the Turbo - washed it 3 weeks later - my girlfriend almost fainted. Just as well that it's been wet so much recently - I nearly started cleaning it again last weekend. Two car washes in two months would destroy what little credibility I have left

(A friend who used to work in London had a Range Rover. He'd come out radio operating on the RAC Rally and spend four days trying to get as much "designer mud" on the car as he could so that his would be the only muddy Rangie in London.......he used to hate it when it rained, poor dear, washed all that lovely grime off:rolleyes
