Here Here!

A car is made to get dirty and to be driven, dont get me wrong, i'd love a show car, and do give mine a monthly wash, but i think a bit of dirt and grime adds character!

I agree with this.

But also i like to try and keep it clean and tidy to. Mine is also my daily driver so its bound to get dirty but its also all i've got thats worth any money so i like to keep it nice :)

Theres nothing wrong with looking after what youve got, and when im tinkering, Im partial to a quick squirt of WD and a wipe down here and there, but i do think some engine bays are a sign of absolute lunacy, if mine was covered in chrome and spotlessly clean, id be scared to drive the thing.

Mines got a few chrome bits in it. But the Capri's engine bay is lovely, see thats my money car i suppose (the one thats worth summat i mean), But id still like to shine my Cav up a bit, as i say though, being used near enough every day it would soon get filthy again :roll:

Needs a bit of a clean up and am in the middle of a little colour coding. Keeping with the black and white theme..
