    hiya everybody!

    Hello. Why would you move from W.Yorks to that smelly place darn sarf though?
  3. I was feeling emotional at the thought of you consider me a mate, I'm trying to be nicer and happier now remember
  4. Where does someone get these "mates" people keep talking about?
  5. I couldn't be bothered with all that, plus there is always the chance the the middle lane moron is some mentalist that then decides to follow you to the next junction before eating your heart.

    snow foam

    It's not really a detergent as such in standard form, its just a foaming agent to cling to and hopefully pull the grime from the car so you can then minimise the risk of scratching when washing. Some of them do have detergents and nice smells added to them though, at the moment I just add a bit of shampoo in there to give a bit of cleaning as well as filth dragging. I get mine from here: http://www.cleaningproductsuk.co.uk via eBay: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AUTO-RAE-CHEM They do the citrus version that has a detergent in it but you may find this also takes a bit of wax with it whereas the basic stuff won't. I just mix a bit of Zymol autowash in with mine, smells pretty too The same company also sells the foam lances for use with the power washers, I have the HD one they advertise and it's huge amounts of fun, great thick foam. http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100357.JPG http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100361.JPG You still need to wash the car afterwards if you are doing a proper job of things but if it's well prepared and waxed up you can get away with a midweek foam and power wash and still get a nice finish without going near it. An alternative to the lance above is something like a Gilmour Foamaster gun, I have an original one of these too but don't use it now that I have the other one, gives a nice foam but not quite as thick - you can buy it from me if you want £35.00, it'll just fit on the end of a normal hose, if you have decent water pressure you'll be fairly happy

  8. Thanks for the offer, bit of a trek though
  9. It's the Americans you are picking on that get my pity

    Some pictures

    You still suck at photos but they are improving slightly... keep trying
  11. I'll probably be on here moaning about something, the invites aren't exactly flooding in and the thought of going out on my own to places packed with morons doesn't really appeal Maybe I'll go to the pictures or out for a drive...
  12. You presented the thread title, I'm just analysing it, and you, a little
  13. You don't need to remove any trim do you? I haven't looked at my car for a while never mind open the rear hatch but I seem to remember all the bolts being exposed and easy to access with a socket. Just do one at a time and have a length of wood to hand to support the hatch when you only have one on, they hurt when they embrace your head.
  14. I don't think it's fair to say "typical American" really is it? It's just a general "knob" who is full of crap, we have them too *looks around and points some out*
  15. I just saw him get his ass kicked by some pretty boy - he doesn't seem as "undertakery" as he was when I last saw him (WWF days!).
  16. Pretty much every day on 2 stretches of motorway, it's great, I have a whole lane to myself from home to work, drive along at a steady speed and get there with no stress at all. On the US thing is it legal to undertake across the whole US? I was told this before I went over there but when I was out with the locals they told me it wasn't legal in California - true or were they just scared of my driving?

    Loads!!!

    I was thinking £25 but I think he wants to keep it

    Wow, hardcore, you'll be drinking next!
