Also, he might have just wanted to do it again - I'm not really sure why everyone is so against Ray taking care of his care. But as far as bait goes this whole thread proves what an amazing bite he can get heh. Ray - I've never used any of the Zaino products, and of course it's hard to see the real finish on photos, but it looks good. Have you ever tried the Dodo Juice waxes? I used Light Fantastic on the V6 but I got a new pot of Banana Armour seen as though the new Clio is yellow. I don't have any pics but we gave it a real good going over on Thursday cos I'm heading to The Ring in it tomorrow with 2 mates - so it's got a couple of layers of Dodo on it, and a couple of layers of PoorBoys wheel sealent on the wheels as well. So hopefully it shouldn't grab too 'much hard to shift' stuff over the 2,600, week long trip (taking in Monaco and all the roads from the Top Gear greatest driving roads episode). Looking of course to get loads of photos, so hopefully I can find a jetwash or too and blast any dead flies/dust off. You're an active member of Detailing World aren't you? Have you ever seen any of Monaco Detailer's threads? The guy based in Monaco that has detailed some amazing kit over the years? Two of us are members of DW and we've been in contact with him and he said we're welcome to pop over to his premises for a drink and he'll show us round whatever he has in at the moment (probably going to be a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead...). So we're looking forward to that hehe! -- Dan Clio R27 F1 #65

Not overclocked at all though, my old Athlon 2200 running at 2700 used to tip 80c... -- Dan Clio R27 F1 #65

In a "makes it look shite" way, that is.

Yes, that's "single blind". -- David Taylor |
