Due to the recent pictures of peoples shiny motors....

Im thinking of hosting the Northern Shine Olympics.

ANyone who thinks that they could play host nation ( ie someone with a big plot of land) then lets get together.

I will be chief judge and im looking to recruit another judge. Applications on request.

Date to be confirmed (suggestions at the ready).

ANd the prize............
You get to wash my car for free ! 

I've been researching on Detailing World today to see how much it would cost us to get a pro detailer to come and do a tutorial,looks like about £60 per head so with lunch and diesel would work out about £100+ each,is that too much?
I can supply the venue at S32 1DP which is big enough for about 10 cars easily with water and power and kitchen facilities and a lovely scenic Dales location!
At the moment all the northern crew seem to be Leeds based so a bit of a shlap down to Sheffield! MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

Yeah Chris Im defo up for that !

Put me down (not literally, ive had a bad enough day) 

That does sound good, I'll be keeping an eye open for dates!

The venue may be changing back up to somewhere around Leeds,would you like me to ask the guy who's going to Zaino detail my car if he would be interested in doing us a demo and if so how much would you all be willing to cough up? MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I would definitely be interested in this

Me too

To the old boys on here, Bradders, NPinks and myself are the detailing gurus, and much of my knowledge comes from NPinks...another Nick..

I clean the car 4 times a week, if not the outside, then the inside....and have a rotary polisher too!

MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony
MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre

I'm embarrassed to say my RRS didn't even see the snow this winter

And I had the garage warmer than the house

Difference is we don't have to play at going offroad through a few muddy puddles to make ourselves look tough,mine spends about 6 months of the year actually working doing the job it's designed to do in conditions that keep most cars and drivers off the road.




Up here real men spend their lives outdoors and the sheep are grateful.
