Pretty sure I saw you on the main street in Cork on Sunday morning about 1130am. If it was you, some noise off her!

Cheers, would've been me alright

Apologies for the blatant narcissism, but I gave the old girl a wash and polish over the weekend (leaf in splitter was an optional extra!)

The best time to drive the car is at night, the cabin and the Burmeister sound system combine to create the best nightclub on 4 wheels!!

Thoroughly enjoying every minute driving the E.

Absolutely lovely machine fair play! - Big fan of the new E.

Still waiting on insurance to decide who's at fault or if it'll be a 50/50 but either way, the car will probably be getting a full respray once it's sorted, too many other niggly little bits annoying me to just do the repair needed after the accident!

I think you should upload some photos of that car dirty, I want to know how far its allowed go before you go mad on it.

It actually gets quite bad these days as herself is from Clon and I'm regularly tipping down there and back from the city! I tend to get a lot of crap off with just our pre clean and power hose down in work which is what I do when I'm lazy and don't wash it It wasn't washed in weeks before the accident, maybe it was punishing me :pac:

It's actually bordering on annoying now how clean that 5 Series always looks!!

We deffo need to see some pictures of it dirty, just so we know that there is indeed some balance in the universe!!

Treated the car to a paint correction and winter protection detail, it'll probably stay clean for half an hour but should make maintenance much easier going forward. Work done by Taffs Valeting in Nenagh, would highly recommend his work and reasonably priced.

Stunning colour but an absolute pain in the ass to correct right, ask me how I know :pac: Did you get a ceramic applied to it?

Impressive results. Can I ask what kind of money we're taking about? Asking for friend 😄

I'm no fan of red but that Golf looks really stunning in red.

Ugh I keep forgetting that’s on.

I knew I recognised that car from somewhere! There were some stunning cars there today. I'll put some photos up this evening. I was parked near one of my childhood heros, an Audi quattro although by the time I got to take a photo of my yoke, it was gone.

Thanks, you should have said hello. There was a great turn out today. That 918, wow.

I just missed the 918 unfortunatley, I'll make sure to say hello next time.

Leonard Hofstadter

The NSX was gorgeous as well. Only one of two in the country. I'll put up some photos later, I've a video of the 918 firing up, what a sound!

Didn't go for a ceramic this time no, big bucks! But he put a good hard wearing wax on and as it's a solid colour said I should get months out of it. Surprised you said that he was delighted to see it wasn't black!

I'd much rather see a metallic black than a flat red to be honest, to get a good clear finish on any flat colour is an absolute pain, you can get it looking fantastic to your average Joe but using the correct lights and the right eye can mean you spend hours and hours refining flat colours right :pac:

hooch-85

Maybe I'm an average Joe but it looked great when he was finished to me, it did get a stage 1 machine polish and wasn't really bad to begin with so I was very happy with the results! I might go for a ceramic coating if I was getting it done again alright. Thinking of other priorities next though, remap, VWR springs and maybe new wheels

How long did it take? Thinking about getting the Lexus done but don't know if there's anyone around Clare that does it.

hooch-85

Full day, I dropped the car Friday night, he started it at 7.30 Saturday morning and it was ready to collect at 3.30. Worth travelling up depending where you are in Clare, he works from his house and it's a very tidy set up he has there.

The results look top class anyway, definitely worth looking into further!

Colm is spot on, that's where it is now.

Unbelievable selection of cars on show at every Limerick C&C - far better than Dublin.

Mostly down to JP McManus though?
