You're a mad man for having 3 black cars.

I have 2. But the other one is a minivan that I don't care about the paint. (because apparently no one else does)

I honestly find it a pleasure keeping them clean. Have had white cars before and grew to be very frustrated with them.

I feel the same way, I enjoy detailing my vehicles. It is just so hard to do during these months in Canada.

Winter tires installed.
Who can figure what's odd in this picture..

Gilly1964 · 01-18-2019, 12:57 AM

The steering wheel is on the wrong side!?

You parked within the lines, and you didn't put your mirrors in. Lol

Steering wheels are the only things on the left side, that are on the right side...

Wasn't an easy parking job, measure twice, park once..
And, I was hoping it was a cute gal driving the Red Cross truck, and in case she bumped the mirror, would leave her ph#.

I didn't even think of what the background looked like, LOL

Style 232 wheels from E71 (X6, with non matching hub sizes)
Had to have the rear wheel hubs machined from 72.5mm, to 74.1mm.
All 4 wheels are 9" wide, so same size tires are used, but no spacers needed for the rear wheels, since they are ET18.
This way I have concave rear wheels, without a wider rear tire. Better for winter driving, and looks better IMO too.

Just lights from nearby commercial buildings, no fires around here.

The other day just before she got loaded on the truck to come home to me.

Amsterdave · 01-19-2019, 05:53 PM

I think I reached peak Canada tonight...

johnhol · 01-20-2019, 03:18 PM

Quick wash.....man I need new wheels....

New grille installed though - so much better than chrome.

Localbrew · 01-21-2019, 07:21 PM

Washed it with the 2 bucket method, used my power washer inside the fender wells to get the leaves out, new sponge, and used the waffle MF to dry. The Waffle mf towels made a huge difference in drying. Thank you P1et, and others for the recommendations. Next week I'm going to work on the hood and other parts, I finally got all my buffing pads and products.
