Neighbours and comments when cleaning?

[Seal_LCR]

Lol misinterpret when u can only take someone's reaction by text.

I agree with you though if I see someone cleaning a crap car I think why bother

People can call me whatever they like but at the end of the day I don't care less

My car is the 2nd most expensive thing i own so i want to look after it . You normally find the snidey remarkers have nails of cars . But my next door neighbour has a flat boggo 1.6 focus and he cleans it religiously everyweek waxed polished ' im sure he clays it aswel ' . I just think fair play its better than siting on ur arse

I have noticed lately how ppl are being abit snappy on here . Its a car forum not fb or so on . Chill boys

[DOLBY]

Never wanted to offend anyone y'know bro but as you say people take things too much to heart for some reason, I cannot fathom it!!!!

Anyway back on topic, don't u hate random conversationalists when you are putting the 5th layer of carnauba wax on

I'd rather have a lesser car modded to take the smile off people's faces than just buying a fast car out the box.

I was refering to the 1.1 mate chilax lol. I no the gti is a pocket rocket.

I was saying that in a jokey manner as said before its hard to interrupt people over the net which is why so many people get arsey!

I'm if you ever meet me am very hard to offend and don't take much to heart at all do if you ever read a post off me and think it sounded arsey it properly wasn't meant to be

This is all my fault

I was just bringing it to you attension, didn't think it would have caused outrage ha ha.

I do kinda see where you are coming from though. If say, i had a 'boggo vectra' i wouldn't bother with it either

[Seal_LCR]

Well if I had a boggy Leon cupra r I wouldn't bother......oh wait off to vac and adjust the exhaust!

No problem anytime

I've had about 5 people say to me "What liter is it"?

There must be about 8 ways of asking that question and "what liter is it? has to be, without doubt the most pikey way.

Why not say "what size engine's it got"

Far too many pikeys round my way

[Dawesy90]

^ beastly eastleigh? lol

Love this thread, fortunately I wash my car away from the main road as my drive way is sort of behind the house so the only people that go down there is my house and next door and next doors lads clean their cars just as much as me so there is no hard feelings haha

I never understand that either. Its not even as if having a big engine necessarily makes it quick.

I've had a 240bhp 1 litre , and a 115bhp 2 litre. I know which one was more impressive.


As for the OP, I'm always out doing something to some kind of car, and my neighbours never even comment. You clearly dont have a very good 'crabbit face'

WTF was that then?


Have always cleaned, waxed and polished the cars ever since from day 1 sh1tters. A bit of pride and effort no matter where you are in the scale of things goes a long way (imo). Even now the Pug gets almost as much looking after as the others and is the one that gets the most 'clean motor' comments. Probably as the 306 is just such an old design I suppose.

Even if I had a diesel Vectra it would get the necessary attention. Just the psyche to all objects - look after it.
