Likewise. We in NI also have the added incentive since all our MOT test centres are government run, and here is one really good incentive from their own website

"You must also ensure that the exterior, interior and underparts of the vehicle are clean or the examiner may refuse to test it."

Photos of that car always make me drool, Brian. The D2 is, IMHO, a truly beautiful car but, if I were ever to be tempted away, then an RS6 estate (in that very same colour) would be high on my list. :love:

....here's my poor/half-hearted attempt to compete with Brian's superior washing skills: Herman snapped quickly on my 'phone, one week on from a quick wash, and five minutes on from getting his Ronin showshoes fitted.

Better pics to follow, possibly, after the weekend ;)

Looking forwards to admiring Herman on Sunday, shame you won't be there too.

Yep, and they're worth as much as the whole lovely red interior ;). Seemed easier the dragging the Tesla across Manchester to act as a pick-up truck :p

I thought you usually had professional help to do such lowly tasks as washing your car?
Isnt it a bit late to get winter tyres on. Mine have been on (and needed) since early November!

They're my second set of winters David - one for each side of the New Year :ROFL: And the wash was a quick 2 bucket job - the ceramic coating makes it much quick and easier to wash - so much so that even I can do it...
