..thanks Gents ... photography is my second passion - it's a treat to have some willing subjects and some great material to work with. Honestly it doesn't have to be shiny to make a great picture (see some of the other Oxford meets and you'll know what I mean)

Re the detailing Chris - you can find more than you'll ever need at Detailing World website. I've only picked at the surface of it as after a while there's is just too much advice to choose from and everyone has their own opinion on what's best.
I know you had a brief glimpse in the boot of my car - this is only the tip of the iceburg - it starts way before you put any wax on the car.
If you want at the next meet - or when the venue suits (Kassam would be good as it had plenty of room and we didn't really get disturbed much). I couldn't do a full wash obvioulsy - but a demo with some products should be possible.
I'd be happy to go through some basics and cover some things which even to me sounded scary before I tried them - but if you're into it can be so rewarding - especially on the dark colours. BUT you'd be amazed how much sparkle you can put back in sliver too...
This is a third passion of mine - so I could talk for hours about it too - I wont bore you with it here.

Anyway - must definitely get a pass for the curry next time .....now Josh about that Bentley..... ::)

Cheers
Ian.

...just a little off topic - but in the morning I was actually in Swindon at a Help 4 Heroes open day marking the 1st anniversary of The Wheel Specialist franchise (in Swindon) where I had my Omega alloys refurbished a few weeks earlier.....
Suprise suprise - a few pictures I took of the event...remember it's all about the wheels - so they dominate the subject matter a tad..

Look forward to a we demo/curry next time Ian....  :y

And yes the Rusty bullet got the day off.  :-X although a bit of tlc and he could have it sorted, nothing some decent doors and some time couldn't fix. Poor thing.  :D

Wonder if there's room for a detailing/tarting up/tlc type section? We don't get into paint and bodywork up keep much on here....  :-/. Certainly plenty of rusty arches to sort out.

It needed a run, and there was to be no childish arsing around on the roads, so no need to take the quicker, better handling Silver Bullet ;)

"That Bloody Elite" also needed an emergency repair to be performed in daylight, shame I forgot until it was dark, and I pissed off all the other road users

Its finding good prefacelift doors.  Thought we'd cracked it, but it fell through  :'(

Am I slowly bringing you around to the superiority of the minifacelift?

Don't be soft, move on, take the good bits off and fit to the new one... Or newer one, IMO.

Bit knowing you you'll take the doors of the new one to fix the bloody old one.  :D
Although I do understand an attachment to a car tbh. Even one as (t)rusty as yours.  :-/
