Its a cooper D- £35 a year road tax, 65 to the gallon, and nearly as nippy as the cooper S.
It drives like a mini ZT, but I wont drive it in summer as she puts stick on flowers in the windows ( winter is ok as they are replaced by snowflakes)

Clay is VG
The car looks full of TLC, the clay shine never fails to impress me wish i had discovered it years ago all them times I had polished and not realised the surface was full of Sh 1 t
Must of died, now smitten in 260 heaven.
Shame to have to get it dirty. But always makes cleaning easier. Good to maintain the finish by claying it every couple of months with a fine grade clay, polish and wax again and she'll be looking good all year.

Puts my 'black olive' to shame at present Steve! I find it very difficult to get correct colour shots. It's either a bluey colour or looks more black. The shot on the drive of the front wing/bonnet seems to bring out the colour correctly.
Using the 'clay' saved my day when I got the car 3 years ago. It had a very bad 'gritty' bonnet. It had been around at dealers and it seemed that there was some industrial 'fallout' on the paint. I asked for it to be Diamondbrited and I think they just sealed in the problem.
A rep. from Diamondbrite visited me & tried to sort it but could not. He recommended it was resprayed & I went to see a paintshop. They agreed.
However my son had just found out about the clay tricks and it sorted the whole paintwork!
Cheers
