My Bad - what?
I've got your back - Why?
Innit - Didn't this used to be an abbreviation for 'isn't it' but now seems to be a word in its own right with some mystical meaning?
Dissing - surely you mean being disrespectful?

I'm sure there are loads more.

Indeed there are! I blame Cab Calloway!

You may be surprised how quick a 964 C4 actually is . They were regularly measured at around 5.1 s 0-60 and could top 160 mph. Only 250 horses, but they weigh about 1450 kg so positively lightweight in this company. I had a more focused 964 RS and no way would you blow that away in an SD! Again only 260 hp, but they felt like very big horses :lol: Accel was brutal and linear right up to the red line.

Spent a lot of Monday washing and waxing both cars (my other half expressed a wish to "snow globe" her car after I finished, which is basically her way of asking me to wash hers too).

I'm learning that "snow globing" doesn't really do much to remove dirt from cars and I have to hand wash them afterwards.

I used my current Autoglym on my car and tried Collonite on my other half's Fiesta. The Collonite does give a nice shine.

I was too lazy to wax the roof of the Macan after spending too long washing/waxing the alloys.

I forgot to pressure wash the mud off the tyres, so just sprayed over the mud with the tyre detailer.

A day trip to the rainy Isle of Wight yesterday resulted in dust spots all over the car and mud sprayed along the sides.

Back to square one again then.

You'd be better off, once washed, just never taking it out again. :shock: :lol:

It was a choice of either washing the cars or jet-washing the dog piss from the side passageway.

When it's sunny outdoors, I'm not allowed indoors unless I have a broken bone or I'm bleeding.

And when I'm bleeding, I'm allowed no further than the utility room.

Single blade wipers never clear the screen properly. They always leave a bit of over-spray, usually exactly where I'm looking through.
