concours cars

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

whos car is concours

 

and how do you keep it that way

 

i dont think i could keep a car concours i like driving them too much plust i know it would get scratched or dented or go rusty etc etc etc

[banarama]

na concours not for me. i like a clean car and have to use it. going to get my other rs up and motd and start driving it through summer

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i struggle to keep mine clean short of washing it every day

[Copey]

likewise, i couldnt keep a concorse car, i enjoy driving them too much

 

mine will always be a daily and it will always have rust, just one of them things, but i would rather use it and let it get a bit of rust than not use it to stop it from rusting

me too

 

maybe if i won the lottery id get a mk2 rs2000 standard concours and just sit it in a nice dry good temperature garage

 

or maybe i wouldnt

[5hane]

my plan is to do modified concourse (want a mk2 version of rich savs )

 

 

still gonna be track day'd and run up the strip,

 

 

dunno why it matters, i would think it would make it easyer.. once the floors been wealded up mint, then stone chipped, then painted. dirt and stuff should wash off (thats the theory anyway ) get it on a 4 poster, get the jet wash out

 

 

dont see why you have to be a nancy cuse there mint, theres lots of propper nice cars which are thrashed

 

 

couldnt use one everyday though i wouldnt think

i went to the avo show last year, my car was missfiring most of the way,

 

yet i bet i had more fun than all these people who brought there down on a trailer,

 

seems pointless, even having an engine in the car, just have a nicely painted shell,

 

if i see some mud or a puddle i aim for it on purpose, if theres a chance to do a wheel spin, skid or anythin i take it,

 

would be bored just polishing every week.

nice one my man

 

i've won a couple of concours trophies with my car and still use it i dont see the point of it just bein sat in the garage

its not that hard 2 keep it lookin good all the hard work was done in the prep b4 paint, i just dont drive it in the rain or up muddy feilds if i get cought out by the rain i leave it 2 dry off over night then jack it up and go over the underneath with some speed detailer and a rag takes bout 30mins as u can see by the sig pick i use it well and really enjoy it even came 1st at the osfdc this year so its defo doable 2 have a show winning car and still use it

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

mine lives on the driveway ive got no garage so i cant get away from the rain

[cortinasgoneforaburton]

I bit of a good one this, id love to have the money to do a full nut and bolt resto on a car, and yes id make sure it was as clean underneath as it was on top but id still drive it, i dont get it when you see a car on a trl going to shows. I only tax mine for 6 months at a time and i am lucky to have storage but ive got a few old fords but i do try and drive them all, over summer. I had a capri in the 90s and i took that to a show and it still had mud on it from doin donuts on the next field, quick wipe over and its good as new, dont think the organisers were to pleased though
