How Filthy is Your Car?

[Nick2449]

It's Winter, there is a hosepipe ban, I've not been very well. I've had my car approximately 6 weeks and haven't washed it. I read all the forum posts and am desperate to get it gleaming but in the meantime I'm going to celebrate how dirty it is. I can't be the only one so post your photos.

Mine was filthy when I picked it up - over a week before I had chance to clean it and make it mine, after taking all the tat off of it

Where’s the dirt on the first one?

All of mine get properly filthy at some stage

 

[pvr]

All hosepipe bans have been cancelled as far as I know though?

We will settle for your first excuse

I would love to join in, but unfortunately due to my OCD, and never actually going anywhere, dirt is not allowed near any of my cars.
Just looking at those filthy cars is giving me the shakes...

I checked and you are absolutely right it has been lifted in Kent and Sussex.

As for the dirt the joy of Orion Silver is it doesn't show as much as my Ruby Black did.

Back in March for some days we had rain from the Sahara which brought with it heck of a lot of sand. It covered everything buildings, streets, cars, still today there are many buildings which should be white but are now brown! This hasn't happened for well over 80 years and I am hoping we don't see it for another 80 years. I believe it reached other parts of Europe including the UK too but being closer to the Sahara we got the brunt of it. Here you can see how it turned what is normally a bight sunny sky to a vivid orange hue, it felt like something out of Armageddon. :rofl:

 

[Nick2449]

Wow that is extraordinary, for us it left a few sand spots and that was about it.

 

[MerBrook]

This was at my parents place at the same time and an example of how it left the buildings etc.

 

[Silverstar]

It felt quite surreal at the time.

Bet it didn’t do the glass much good turning the wipers on

Bet it didn't do the paintwork much good getting it off, either.
