Haha, I know, that's why I'm considering going for a spa one instead, they read to 200mph, prefer the look of the stack one though lol

Maybe a £5 wash from the Polish car washers at the supermarket. It won't be getting a wax though, as the saying goes: you can't polish a turd.

That might actually do it some good, at least it would get rid of that volcanic ash shit that fell on it a couple of years ago. In fairness to them the guys that wash the cars at my local Sainsburys do actually do a good job on them and washing a car in this weather they deserve their fiver.

Never said it was shit.! Just saying I would laugh if the new 100mm beat the spec R... As the 70mm iirc came very close.

lol sorry mate wasnt saying you did say it was shit

just my southern lingo coming out lol

just out of interest what makes the spec r cooler so expensive anyway

they are all made of the same material and in the same way

paying for the name maybe ??
or have i missed something
