I need to get out more!

I was bored when i got home from work so i got my perfectly clean car out the garage, stripped all the polish off and started from scratch. 3 hours later and i had to stop because it was getting dark :roll:

Now i have a car that is only half clean, what a bloody waste of time!

Did give it a quick blast before putting it back to bed tho :D

No, the cecotto stays at home in the garage im afraid. Il be up and down the motorway every 2 weeks (300 mile trip) and we only have 1 covered parking space for our flat which my mate has claimed for his e46 cabby.

All this means il be driving my shitter e36 318 :cry:

Are there any decent meets up there?

I wasnt really happy with the level of finish mate. When the 1st layer was applied i think i did it too quickly, meaning i still had swirls visable.

Crime scene investigation, it's on channel 5. I was joking, polishing a clean car is a bit sad though, dj off the e36 forum does it or comes to mine to clean my fleet when they're already clean :roll: Think he just steals my meguairs
