How dirty is your J? - bhalay207 - 1:st-Jan-2016
With rain comes dirt, dirt all over the car that was once kept pristine during the summer months (or should I say summer week!)
So, who currently has the dirtiest car amongst us? Here's mine
Post away!

Awwww no! I may have won this yesterday but I attempted to clean it with a jet wash... Saying that, for some reason the dirt appears to have only partially been removed and has streaked... So I'll get a snap soon! Haha

I've been eager to do mine to be fair but it's tipped it down almost every day for what seems forever.

The wheels aren't silver underneath either haha

Wish I spotted this before I let the other half clean the car. Took the niece to my other niece's horse. Car was full of mud on the outside and sawdust on the inside. I'd have won hands down.

Think mines due a good wash but with me doing 500 miles a week seems to be no point.

Make sure you keep the plate clean, they fine you on the spot for that
