Nipped by Hairyarse 's Last Wednesday on the way up to Hull from London and spent £65 on cleaning products, oops!

Spent the next day claying the entire car, then polishing it up, I finally got the wings back from pink to almost red!

Put the Sportline into my garage in Spain in 32 degrees. Tucked him up, left dehumidifier pack inside, disconnected battery and fitted cover, told him to be good till I am back at end of October. Just back to UK, soooo cold but having withdrawal symptoms so will fire up the Clipper and go for a spin later wearing woolly hat!   O_o

Unfortunately SANJP this was before you'd seen it (so you can see how bad it was after being in a garage for a few years) - so I'll still come pay you that visit one weekend if the offer is still open!
