Even my 7 year old great nephew has an opinion....
Late in the afternoon yesterday our club day out stopped for a comfort break and I wondered where my 7 year old co-driver had disappeared to and found him drawing in the dust stuck to the side of the car. Once out of public earshot he was given the option to walk the 85 miles home if he doesn’t like the car..........



Incase you need a translation it says “Poo” and I don’t think he meant Winnie The Pooh either......

Anyway my niece found out when she came to collect him and this morning he was delivered to my house with water proofs and wellies to help wash the car. Thank goodness the GTechniq was done last week as there isn’t a sign of a scratch anywhere
after a gentle spray off with the garden hose. Co-driver was the wheel cleaner rather than bodywork cleaning (saves me all the backache from bending over to clean them!)

The great thing about not having my own and having relatives who do is that you can hand them back when you’ve had enough. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

That's too true Tim Laughing Like you and Greeni, I have no offspring so when the relations come round you can hype the kids up by feeding them e numbers and let them drink pure tartrizine and then once they start kicking off, waving them home from their car seats Laughing

My wife's God-Daughter decided she would 'polish' her Mum's car with rag which had been kicking around the ground in the dirt. The result was many many little scratches, and a couple of really big scratches which didn't all T-Cut out so ended up having the bonnet resprayed.

Probably just as well you had the bodywork treated as this will stop the little finger work doing any 'lasting' damage.

Many years ago when my other half was a young girl she decided to help her Dad clean the car, so she used what Mum did in the kitchen, Vim. As you can imagine her Dad wasn’t best pleased Rolling with laughter

I believe a member if the D5 forums has recently had several panels of his pride and joy permanently redesigned by his young children carving pictures in the paint with stones from the garden.........I’ll consider myself lucky it was “Just” a finger and dust. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

You need to tell him to give Ecco his login back ~ he's been a very naughty boy and got our foreign friend into a lot of trouble. Whistle

Those photos brought me out in a cold sweat!
I’m so glad we chose to have dogs instead of sprogs. I know for those of you who have them, you think they are the best thing to ever happen to you, but for us, and I have to say a good number of our childless friends, we see people with them and we all really struggle to see what the draw is to be honest.
Still, it’s obviously a good job some of you are having them or there will be no one going out to work to pay for our pensions when the time comes! Rolling with laughter Sold the Puma Defender and bought a brand new Pangea Green 2020 Defender D240 S with a few factory extras!
