1 word Gav, stunning! Love it top work and a credit to its current and previous owners :)
[QUOTE=AndysR;708393]1 word Gav, stunning! Love it top work and a credit to its current and previous owners :)[/QUOTE] Its all down to your car mate and your attention to detail, gives me summit to work at :) :B_thumb:
easy to clean a dark car and a dark interior though, try a red car with a cream interior (i'm in all day tomorrow lol)
[QUOTE=merc85;708398]Its all down to your car mate and your attention to detail, gives me summit to work at :) :B_thumb:[/QUOTE] I can't take the credit for your hardworking attitude, I feel your car far exceeds mine for condition and appearance :)
[QUOTE=T5frankie;708403]easy to clean a dark car and a dark interior though, try a red car with a cream interior (i'm in all day tomorrow lol)[/QUOTE] You gotta be kided Blacky was a Pain in the Ass lol, so dont miss having to keep that clean, I can imagine your light suede is a right pain
[QUOTE=AndysR;708405]I feel your car far exceeds mine for condition and appearance :)[/QUOTE] me and you will have to agree to disagree :bow_kneel lol
[QUOTE=merc85;708406]You gotta be kided Blacky was a Pain in the Ass lol, so dont miss having to keep that clean, I can imagine your light suede is a right pain[/QUOTE] well at least twice now i have been laying in the mud under the car on my old front garden then got up and sat straight in the drivers chair lol, so its darker than the rest lol, i also put some engine parts in the boot and let them roll around lol oil everywhere
I've had a red car before and it was a right git to keep it looking red. The mrs car is black and, although its a b*tch to keep clean, seems to get dirty within a few days, and shows up all the swirl marks, at least it holds its colour. Thats the problem with old red cars, if you don't constantly keep polishing and waxing it, it goes pink quickly.

[QUOTE=merc85;708417]same here mate fmpsl,[/QUOTE] And here........... My cars are all pretty clean inside, but I cringe when I even just move my wife's car, as litter falls out of the door map pockets onto the street. I can usually fill a carrier bag with ££££e from her car.

When the kids were younger, it was the lollipops stuck to the upholstery that used to really get to me. Now they're 14 and 15, we're past that stage gladly.
My old M3 polished up
My old Type R polished up
Never going for a black or red car again. Lovely when clean but with our crap weather looked crap within days.

At the risk of following a tradition and going off the op's original topic those both look stunning Mike, I'm guessing if you could turn back the clock to when either were still your car would you still sell them today or do you wish you'd have kept either one?
