Default There's untidy and then there is ...

Saw this Fiesta that had been left for a valet at the local car hand wash today.
The seats were outside being pressure washed



Cheers Ian

Looks like my daughter's VW van, and that actually smells like a hamster's cage too!!

Just like my son's van and daughter's car.

In fact that's clean compared to my son's company van that is more like a mobile hovel !!!!!

Reminds me of when I got the ZT 1.8T. Guy had a predominantly white Spaniel and the interior was thick with hair, woven into the seats, carpet etc. I removed what I could then got the car valeted, took so long the guys left here an hour after they were supposed to start their next job! Removing any interior trim still results in a cloud of hair.

This is where they emptied their wet/dry vac!

Im a bit OCD about keeping my cars clean. That would make me need therapy!

My son in-law and daughter have a Vauxhall insignia, top spec: full leather etc: nice enough car I suppose but it is a total mess from front to back and inside 'n' out! the leather has been totally ruined by the grandchildren ... digging their toys into it, mud and foot marks all over the seats, door cards, carpets, glass, sweet wrappers everywhere, 4cwt of biscuit crumbs in the door pockets ..... and on and on it goes.
Ok it's their car and they can do what they like with it I suppose but the shear lack of respect for what WAS a very nice family car simply astounds me.
If Mrs gadget leaves so much as a hair in my 75 I just have to remove it! a bit OTT maybe but that's the way I like to keep my car ... CLEAN.
I figure that if I do the 'right thing' by my 75 ... it will do the right thing by me! hahaaaaa... only time will tell !.

To most folk a car is just a means of transport, when it’s worn out they go and replace it with another.
