*Entries are invited for this years Show and Shine competition.

An informal concours event with no marking sheets. We do not look under the bonnet or open the doors. The judging is based on how much pride the owner has taken in presenting the appearance of their car.

If your car looks good after a polish, then it is worthy of entry. Age and mileage are taken into account, modifications are not penalised.

The competition is sponsored by Meguiars, the Best in Show winner will be invited to display their car on the Meguiars Stand at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC

There are four prizes :-
Best in Show
Runner Up
3rd Place
Highly Commended - for first time entrants.

*please note that entry is for Club Members only

Ummmm (scratches chin!) might enter the Boxster in this. I don't have to polish it with a £4K pot of polish do I? :mrgreen:

Scrub the Boxster, it won't be going :(
Fuelled up today & took it for a wash & whilst in the queue it boiled over big time. When the AA guy got to it, it had cooled & he topped it up with plain water. Nothing leaked out so we started it up. As it was warming through the penny dropped. As I had the hood down I'd turned off the climate. This switched off the fans which run all the time when the climate is on. It looks like the fans aren't tripping in when it gets hot, hence boiling over! So it'll be off next week to have the problem sorted, the coolant changed & it may as well have its service.
So it'll be Jeep tomorrow as the 944 needs a few jobs done before I'd take it that far.

A question for Jon M, what triggers the fans on is it just a water temp sensor somewhere or is it from the ECU?

Car wash? Cheeky bu99er! I'll have you know they are a team of 12 highly skilled Lithuanians :lol:
To be honest I bought at the beginning of April & it peed down ever after. What doesn' help is that we went onto a hosepipe ban just as I bought (yes & it started peeing down :evil: ) so no snow foam as no pressure washer. So the local car wash are actually very gentle so at least it would have been cleaned & made up the numbers at Hatton, or gracefully retired whatever I could have got away with.
It was not really Show N Shine ready at any level, it needs the wheels refurbed & various paintwork sorted. Not sure I like the Turbo twists TBH, looking for a set of nice 18" wheels for it, like the GT3 split style & also the RUF flat spoke. Will see what is available, always assuming the OPC bill doesn't bankrupt me :shock:
