Hope this one comes with full instructions as to how to use the handbrake 🙂

Now that was completely uncalled for.(but very true):D

Well Moggy you must be one of those who wear their skidders for a fortnight and then then turn them inside out for another two weeks!:D

If you are going to get a nice classic this is how to keep it clean. First stay away from car washes and car washers and bin your sponge then

never wash the car when hot, first thing in the morning or early evening. ALSO never use a sponge on your paint. where do you think the swirl marks in the paint come from. get a decent lambs wool wash mitt.

get 2 buckets one for the washing of the car and one for washing the dirty mitt, keeps the wash mitt and wash water clean, get good buckets with grids in the bottom to prevent grit on the mitt.

a good shampoo is also a must. you want a shampoo that has NO harsh detergents, because when you have completed the next stages you do not want to undo all of your hard work by stripping all of the protection and waxes off

no need to dry at this point.

go over the whole car with clay, one panel at a time and rinse with fresh water. for the clay, you will need a lubricant. but why buy expensive stuff, i use a spray bottle of warm water with a few drips of fairy liquid, not to much though, the fairy adds a small amount of lube and stops the water from evaporating as quickly. do not put to much fairy in the water.

then wash the car again and dry. chamois leathers are bum droppings and put in swirl marks, get some decent drying towels. you will need at least 2 because you need to let them dry.

then mask all of the rubbers and plastic parts.

then use M105 Ultra-Cut Compound

then use 205 Ultra Finishing Polish

then use ultimate polish

after all of that lot, its wax time.

2-3 coats of this stuff. Collinite 476 Super Double Coat Wax

then a finish top coat wax enhancer for extra gloss mirror reflection

you will not need to do it again for a year.

Dodge Viper and they are getting quite cheap now. The money no object is in feeding the 8 litre engine

Superb as always Alex. As an avarage modeller I am blown away by your skills and could only dream of reaching your standard.
BTW I took the liberty of posting the link to your Whitley project on the Britmodeller site some time ago that made some of the advanced modellers feel like giving up!:D

Will you come and join us or may I post your pictures of the Hind on their site?(I would prefer you did it though.)

I wonder how long before it becomes legal to allow this? Not for any humanitarian reasons but to ease the strain on the Treasury. I for one would like to think I had a living will that would allow me to be euthanased if certain conditions were met.
