    My previous P/Black B7 S-Line always looked naff this time of year.

    I have heard it said and it is true......Lava and the 19's still look real good when caked in it



    Obviously it normally looks like this

    HIS - XC90 D5 R Design (sorry, had to be done)
    TOY - 2001 Westfield 2.1 SEW,172bhp SOLD TO MY BROTHER, I needed a PANERAI.
    HERS - 'R' New 7spd DSG and 310 rampant ones. 4.2 off the mark will do nicely

    Not got any photos but I'm back from a weekend in Germany in evil hasty conditions so the car is filthy. I especially like the way it has collected a neat line of sand on the rear bootlid spoiler Oh and the brake dust all over the wheels will be fun to shift

    However I can say that my wife gives up and pokes me before the car does on the derestricted autobahn!

    At 220 kph and accelerating hard, she woke up, told me off, waited until I slowed down to 180 and went back to sleep. And I mean accelerating hard - the S4 was pulling much harder at 220 than my mini cooper does at 120

    This is mine after 4 weeks of not cleaning it...



    When I chose white I thought I'd be out with a bucket, water and mit every other day. But I must say it does look cleaner than it is...
    The wheel break dust is bad tho'....

    It's damn hard to keep them clean at this time of year. I have been working weekends and been abroad for work so mine had not been cleaned in about 6 weeks. I had to give it a quick going over yesterday, my wheels were awful! Now it is pouring with rain this morning so as soon as the wife takes the car out it will be awful again!

    I'm not leaving it that long again before I clean it...

    I had to wash it twice today to get it clean, although it didn't look that bad at first...
    It was in the door jams, sills, engine bay and boot shut that was the worst to get clean....

    Here it is... All nice n clean...
