    Garage queens: Look away now..

    Posted this in a thread on the Turbo board, but in case some of you missed it, this is what a Porsche should look like in winter

    Re: Garage queens: Look away now..

    Haiai sir!

    Too clean!

    Mine looked way worse last week after a long drive and a short excursion down a muddy track. This what they were meant for: driving and getting dirty.

    Re: Too clean!

    Black does tend to suck up winter road muck. Taken last winter (hence a lack of retrofitted PSE tips) only 20 mins after washing...

    Re: Too clean!

    Looks like a person who uses their car. A little dirt never hut.

    Re: Too clean!

    It's a car, not a piece of jewelry.



    It's an insult to its engineering not to use it in the elements.

    Re: Too clean!

    I think there's a big difference between keeping it clean and using it. I know a lot of guys that don't use their 911's when its not sunny.

    What a pity.........

    Re: Too clean!

    for the first few weeks of owning my C2S CAB, i tended to keep it clean and driving it in bad weather...

    but now.. i drive it even it is heavily pouring outside : )

    Re: Too clean!

    I believe that Porsche were made to be DRIVEN - regardless of the elements.

    Re: Too clean!

    How about a 'dirtiest car' picture contest?

    I have to agree. Mind you I have no choice, it's my daily driver and I live in the UK!

    Re: Too clean!

    For me it's kind of a relief when the car gets dirty (say, if I get caught in a rainstorm on a long drive AND the wheels needed brake dust cleaning BEFORE the trip).

    When it gets bad like that I just leave it, knowing it's got a good coat of wax on it under all that grime.

    THAT means now that it's winter I can drive it more often and not be so concerned about getting it dirty.

    I'll probably leave it dirty until there's a nice string of good weather predicted.


    Re: Too clean!

    how about this after a days driving...
