So I had to take a few pics just to proove it was not just an urban myth
Immaculate as ever and was complimented with a pint at the pub
Fad, you are lenseman extraordinaire as usuall.
It's just a shame someone left that driving school car in the way of all of your arty shots
Still, it looks quite tidy; and plenty of room for shopping too
Please do not punch me at work today James, I have just got in from the pub and am in a silly mood so would appreciate a bit of leaway

I'm certainly open to offers - anyway, she's still limpable.
I just need to get some decent recovery cover in case it all goes more tits up than Dolly Parton on an ice rink in Teflon drawers, any further than the end of my road

nuffin meant by it mate i just dont see the attraction sorry
Each person has their own prefferences and its generally down to taste. As many people here mentioned if you ever saw the car in the flesh you would definately think highly of it.
In my opinion its definately one of the cleanest corsas on here that has been waxyoiled to death Everything is tidy even the interior pannels have been T cutted and polished to make it that little bit more cleaner. Which most people miss when they strip their cars out. Its just the attention to detail like the polished exhauist heatshielf and the powder coated crash bar and Tie bars etc.
JR has been an inspiration to me and now i am tidying mine up to be just clean and perfected as concours did interest me in the past.
If i long for a dirty car it shall be an Escort RST Jim was my inspiration for this

So true, she is mint inside though, and I do occassionally wash her, but then I can see the little flaws in the paintwork and I get angry, and then two days later; she looks like I never even washed her in the first place.
The dirt does such a good job of hiding the little bits of paint damage that break my heart.
And anyway, black is such an effort - you can't wash without leathering, polishing and hand-glazing.
Also, having a back injury, a knee injury, a physical job and a torn shoulder muscle means I prioritise my relaxation time over my car washing time.
Besides, it's so much more fun driving the car than washing it
