There are actually mildly aggressive people driving Picanto's? That must have been quite funny. On the flip side, if someone asked me "what's my fucking problem?" Well, er.. I'd kinda leave them to it, then they can decide what their own problem is.

Also keep the female in the drivers seat like they were designed for.

Sorry, but I completely disagree with the "yellowish" and "won't see any benefit from wax on white" comments. Sealants can provide their own finish anyway, so I wouldn't say don't go down that route. In fact, if you wanted a sealant you sound pretty lazy so you might aswell spend a bit of money, use Ceramishield and get 2-odd years protection.

I fucking love this. With the exception of the fact that the words 'sleeper' and 'HDi intercooler' do not go well together in a sentence. Otherwise, top work. Also, clean that fucking Toyota badge up, it looks disgraceful.

How snowbored do you get when snowboreding?

I was REALLY fucking excited for this, like, REALLYexcited, but I read a review from someone who'd played it on a gaming website and they said it was shit. I have nothing to be excited about now.

For a general wash, post-detail I'll always use the following technique: Snow foam entire car, inc. wheels and arches Use recommend dwell time for specific foam, blast all foam off including arches, wheels and hard to reach areas Fill up two buckets with warm water, one with Dodo Juice Born to Be Mild, the other with just plain water I use an EZBrush to get right inside the wheels, and an old mitt to clean the surface of them. I always ensure I've used Planet Polish Seal & Shine on the wheels, this is a sealant which makes maintenance of them stupidly easy. For the car I use CarPro Wash Mitt (by far the best wash mitt out there) and using the two bucket method go over the top parts of the body, if car has been washed recently then I'll go over the bottom parts at the end with the same mitt. If the car is moderately/heavily soiled I'll use a different mitt to clean the bottom parts Once car is washed, I'll take the adapter off the end of the hose so that you have an open stream of water (if you have any wax on your car, this is a HUGE help.) What this does is instead of making the water bead, it sheets so it will all run off your car. If done properly you'll be left with next to no water remaining on the car. I'll then get a drying towel with good pile (there are many out there) and without applying pressure remove the very small amount of water that remains. Provided the car has been waxed you can normally take the "dab" approach, this means you won't be inflicting swirls onto the paintwork since you are literally just touching the water area and allowing it to be collected. If the car hasn't been waxed recently and a large amount of water remains, I normally lay the towel down flat and pull it from one end so that there's as little pressure there as possible. I normally give the car a spray with Zaino Z8 afterwards which is a spray sealant which helps protect the wax layer until the next wash.

What exactly do you mean by "fiddling about"? More likely to be cold air more than anything.

Noone ever did, tbh I'm pretty sure it was all a lie. Also, I got a Veyron after my Starlet, but it was too fast etc so I sold it. As for the MX5, (you cock loving hairdresser) I'm more impressed here than when you were telling me the other day, it actually looks quite decent for a pile of shit. If I wouldn't have a mouthful of flies afterwards I'd actually be quite looking forward to being a passenger for blaps. I'm rather impressed that you didn't spend about 4 hours getting sidetracked talking about aerodynamics etc yet aswell, keep it up.

I was in touch with the owner on here for a while, I kept the message in my PM's and it seems to have been automatically deleted at some point which is really annoying. I'd like to know what the deal is with it these days, I miss it and I'm curious as to whether it's still looking awesome or whether it's been ruined. For those of you that don't know it, the plate is N617 AMS

Lurking in the background! Couldn't make it to JAE as it clashed with my holiday, which was gay. Sounds like you all had an awesome time though, fingers crossed my mates don't choose to go away at the same time in 2013!
