I was thining the same thing - but then I haven't even got any anymore!

A How to would be awesome - I never know what to use to get all the muck off without damaging anything! Engine bay looks awesome in those pics, good as new.

Well it was touch and go with this one for a while, had a serious case of "i'll kill a few fuel pumps". So I called the Doctor: GT Matt sorted the car, after fixing out a few issues of earths and other gubbins we tracked it down to the fuse box and one dodgy melty connector A. Replacing the fuse box with a mint one and a new connector A, plus a new pump has seen the Storm rejuvinated and I am now enjoying this go-kart every moment that I get to drive it.

Huge thanks to Matt for the top detective and rectification electrification work. I learned a lot buddy

Big test today. Took the car for a trip to Leicester. Ran really sweetly and i loved every minute of driving it. Car turned some heads on the journey to and fro to.

This has turned out to be such a brilliant car, one of the best I have owned, really enjoying driving it, puts a smile on my face.

Emma treated the car last weekend, as I am quite rubbish at the washing and polishing side of things, she does a much better job than me. The pics do all the talking, thanks Piglet, I fail to get cars looking this good:

...I am quite rubbish at the washing and polishing side of things, she does a much better job than me.

All I used to get was, you won't improve without practice. Your technique is obviously better than mine.

Looks nice, makes me think...one of the things you don't notice until you see shiny pictures, white cars don't reflect in the same way. I'll never see clouds reflecting off my bonnet for example.
