Does yours look as bad as this at the moment?

A few cold days and we go road salt crazy, what a mess it makes of your car...

My car now looks more Bonatti Grey than Zambezi Silver!

I know, mine looks just as bad. It's hardly worth bothering to wash it at this time of the year. Looks good though RRUK - it's got that "hard at work" look about it! Very Happy

Bonatti grey probably shows the dirt less than any other colour I've owned Laughing
I wash the RRS less than any previous car. Matt

You should have seen mine mid week spent some time in one of the companies quarrys. With all the heavy machinery running and potholes and poor road surfaces it certainly was not clean. Looked more brown than black, soon came of with a pressure wash though. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Clocked up another 300 miles and 6 hours driving this morning alone...Oh dear...even dirtier now, got to pressure wash it as it's becoming difficult to even open a door without getting filthy. L319 D4 HSE

Joking apart, mine is mucky & the worst thing is getting your hands dirty when you shut the tailgate. Why they didnt fit electronic closure I dont know. It works perfectly well on the Lincoln Navigator.

Have you noticed how quickly and dirty the rear windscreen gets in this weather? Even Giverny Green looks filthy today!
Your hands will get less dirty if you close the main section of the rear hatch using the handle/ recess in the left side of the base of the boot door!

I find it amazing how snow always has some kind of childish attraction even at the age of 40 it has that appeal over me Cool Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Listening to the traffic reports, there seems to be quite a few traffic incidents because of the snow that's coming down in various places. Here we go again - UK completely unprepared for a few flakes of white stuff. I expect the trains have ground to a halt too... we are crap at this kind of thing, aren't we? We're meant to be visiting some relations up in Norfolk this weekend - hopefully that will still be a goer.

I'm prepared - I bought a tamogan yesterday. I have a RRS and a wife to drive me uphill after a fast run on the tabogan. (She still thinks I'm sad!) Laughing 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Attach the tobogan to the back of the RRS and then get your wife to drive downhill again!! Fun for you and the wife! Might all get a bit messy, but hey... Laughing
