Well my old Black Dturbo went off to West wales for £550, less than 24
hours after i put it on ebay it was sold and collected the next day.

Day after took a trip to the midlands to get Matt_99's XS for £1000 96K
on the clock, bodywork not in great condition but i wasn't expecting it
to be, interior is mint. Only problems were a knackered wheel bearing
and a puncture in one of the Cyclones which are both now fixed. Also
there is a foglight snapped off its brackets, here is one waiting to be
fitted sat in the boot i just can't be arsed to do it yet.

Cleaned it today, spent about 3 hours on it, first time the cleaning
stuff has been out the garage since March so didn't do a very good job
on it but its clean all the same I used
Megs NXT wash
CYC clay with Megs speed detailer
Poorboys blackhole glaze
AutoGlym SRP
Megs NXT tech 2 wax (Liquid)
AutoGlym Fastglass

Washed with a value sponge, Dried with a CYC drying towel, polishes and
waxes applied with megs applicator pads and wiped off with value
microfibre cloths

Unfortunatly i didn't have any wheel cleaner and i'm skint so that will
be bought next month! Had to make do with a sponge and wash.

Then i was a proper dick and drove into a pile of mud, then onto a field.

Plans for it so far are to keep it on the road and make sure everything
is running tickety boo, then possibly a set of white cyclones...and
thats about it:)
