    I thought they went together nicely, the Mrs. and the washer. If only I could get my Mrs. to understand. "I'll do the driving you do the cleaning."lol
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    You guys actually have to DO SOMETHING to get your cars dirty? Who needs mud and clay when you can just live in MD and wake up every day to find 1/8" of pollen covering your car?

    Gonna try to get a pic of the car (black) one morning with the fresh coating on it. Black turns green FAST. ANother reason why the VX stays in the garage until it's time to come out and eat.

    You're missing the front tray too... I'm going to get a nice steel one made I think.

    Watch for all that thin mud blocking up your radiator as it dries - its what happened to mine after this outing:-



    The engine bay still won't be winning any show 'n' shines!

    You know what? After looking at the pic I realised that Crotch's had a little guard over the electronics around the diff mine hasn't got. Maybe there isn't meant to be on, but I still think its necessary.

    I'll try and get a price for a couple made up with mine as a template.

    If you're running hot (and mine sits at 80 to 82C according to my Scangauge and with the needle slightly to the cold side if vertical on the gauge) then some advanced rad cleaning is probably a god idea. I removed mine (15 to 20 mins - most of the time trying to remove the clips from the two small hoses at the bottom - don't forget the atf cooler is integral) and gave it a damn good hosing. An alarming amount of crud came out...
