Was quite shocked to say the least when I arrived, but thinking about it would you want to leave it garaged and only taken out in dry weather or driven as intended rain or shine?

You know what? That really makes me smile to see that lambo sitting there all dirty. The birdshit on the bonnet really finishes it off nicely. It is just a car that can get and be as dirty as a £1000 fiesta and yes, it will not fall apart :eek: ;) .

If I had a Ferrari or Lambo I would drive the crap out of it and simply not worry about the dirt on the bodywork and interior - it all wipes off as shown in the thread.

You wanna see my M3 at the moment - truely skanky :D .
