Did a job on the wheels today. Cleaned up and sealed. Pain in the ass to do but glad it's done. Car is due a wash now though, it's a bit grubby :)

The green would not be my choice, not for a dislike toward it, more because I'm a boring bastrd, so I do applaud anyone with the courage to go for such a bold colour.

A tad late this time but... It's that time of year again :cool:

For context:

2017

Seeing as this year I have been working on a 607 and restoring it to its former glory, I think it's fairly predictable what car is outside the pub this year!

That's correct and spot on: a red Fiat Panda :cool:

I've done a lot of work on this in the background, mostly ironing out the bodgery from the previous owners... :rolleyes:

You all have a wonderful Christmas and like last year, what'll be outside the pub for a portrait this time next year is anyone's guess!

Many happy returns dude. If I had done the same, it'd be the same bloody picture every year for the last 6!

Really nice car fair play , great colour...I don't get those alloys at all on any of the models just don't in any way do it for me.

I have a black RS and they look amazing on it imo.

Very good I'd say. Especially it's the non-crippled 150 BHP version of 1.8 DiD.

And even though it looks like good old days of extremely reliable Made in Japan cars are gone forever.

I've had the MX5 for a few years now and still love it. I've recently picked up this Civic Type R which is in very good condition and a much spicier drive! I know the styling of this generation is somewhat polarizing, but I've always had a soft spot for them

2.2HDI! Loud and clattery outside, insulated and refined inside. I've never owned such a wafting couch of a car before

I only have one more pic of it on it's way for surgery (in bloody portrait!), surrounded by some of the familiars mentioned elsewhere:

First wash of the new year, she was absolutely manky the last few weeks. Been doing a lot of rural driving lately and a tractor would be better suited to the road conditions :pac:

Speaking of long time coming car washes...this thing was filthy over the holidays (but there is an AutoGlym Lifeshine protection underneath). So out with the Bilt Hamber snowfoam, 2 bucket with Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash, dry and a coat of Orchard Perfection. That was 7 days and 400kms ago and it's still looking presentable. Have it 7 months now and done 8k kms.
