The only detailing mine gets is through a car wash, lol

Tiny little things when compared to even the Classic RR
P38 looks like a beast ;)
Is that a P6 in pic with the P38? My Uncle Dick (grandma's sister's husband) had one when I was little. Proper oldskool guy always wore a tweed suit, would sometimes give the women a lift into town for shopping but wait for them in the pub and sink a few pints, then either go out shooting (shotgun usually kept in the boot) or according to my grandma probably go to visit one of the women he was 'carrying on' with lol.

Looks more like an early Silver Shadow to me.....
Yeh I see that now, even if I didn't see it I'd take your word for it with you knowing old cars better than me.

What's this detailing I hear people talking about?
It was tempting to wind you up a bit with.... Just little jobs like swapping head gaskets every now and then ;-)
That's OK then, I'm up for that. I've heard others talk about detailing and I got the impression it was going a bit further than throwing the car at a group of Eastern Europeans at a disused filling station where they attack it with pressure washers and big soapy mitts to return it to the original colour. Mine got that treatment on Saturday before heading off for Billing but as they put the stuff on the tyres that make them look black and shiny,the dust stuck to them so I've now got brown tyres.....
Bah, windup didn't work lol.
I was 'detailing' my own car yesterday... fitted new uprated springs on the rear and airbags that fit in the middle of each spring to blow up with a tyre compressor in case the springs aren't enough. I used to regularly Tcut my cars but can seldom be arsed with even washing them these days, £7 for some East Europeans near me for a half decent jet wash and a free air freshener. Unusually not at a disused service station but at what would be an ideal place for me to shift to if I ever chose to get premises, far better than on an industrial estate. They've been on the A638 this side of Doncaster years but even when I'm just passing I look to see if they show any signs of packing it in.
