....Until I read it was your dad, I was convinced it was you and was very amused by the contradiction of filthy well-used overalls and the pristine designer-mat with the Greek Key pattern! Does your missus know you borrowed the mat from the house!?

I'm struggling with a bad back at the moment so i couldnt do it. The matt is very old to be honest, its a 'garage matt'

Ferrybridge issue overalls.  :laugh:

Just washed her. Used Auto Finesse Revive on all the external plastics and its really good, the rear wiper arm for instance looks like its brand new! :happy2:



Use Megs Endurance on the tyres, 2 coats. It seems to repel water well, which obviously means that in turn they will get less dirty.
