I haven't washed my car since Trax in September, as it got vandalised a week later and I just haven't been bothered since.
Still use the car a lot though, so went for a drive today and took a few pics by the sea:
The obligatory Welsh shot:
A couple of the very dirty engine bay with my Janspeed manifold fitted and my Dads old air horns, which I found in the garage and he had on his car when he was my age - The compressor has 'Maserati' imprinted into the casing too 
The brakes now they've bedded in:
And you may have noticed its sitting slightly higher than in the last shots - I stripped the rear end so I could remove all my audio cabling, including carpet:
But will soon be low again thanks to an ebay bargain:
Thats all for now

I know the feeling of not cleaning it cos it's damaged. I washed mine last June for PVS, I crashed 2 weeks later and it was February when I washed it again. The damage was sorted by the end of November but couldn't see the point in washing it then with the weather. Then got bored one day at the beginning of Feb so cleaned it. Everyone that went to the NWNW meet were shocked
Not cleaned it since then tho, I'm too lazy now, the dirt covers up the shit paintwork, and it looks like a rally slag

Thanks guys, I thought the Gaz fully adjustable coilovers for £100 were a great buy personally!
Colin, I'm quite surprised as well to be honest - it must be all that rain we get in Swansea

I've had mine like that, but this isn't really a topic to show my dirty car, more just to show some new pictures
