Yet another unremarkable 406

[scotty73]

My daughter decided to give the old girl a bath yesterday so thought i'd share some pics, she got the usual dinks, dents and scratches you'd expect from a put thats drove to mars so here goes.







And OUCH, not sure how this happened it was before i bought her.


Might not look pretty but she's bloody comfy.

How many W's do you want in a number plate?

Some people are so greedy

Looks tidy mate, and you never even got your hands wet

I was going for the whole world wide web thingy www

I sort of did get my hands wet she's only 10 and left brown marks here and there but it was worth it for the argument i had with my neighbour.

Scotty what engine you got in there?
2.0ltr 110 hdi mate!
no you aint they didn't do a 2.0ltr 110 it must be a 1.6?
No 2.0ltr 110 check the door pillar and the engine bay

Nahh must be a 1.6 i've worked on peugeot and Citroen engines for years and i'm telling you now they didn't do a 110bhp 2.0hdi it's a 1.6.
Apart from showing the logbook what more can you do to convince some people?

For the first time since i bought the old girl in December i've had the time to get the polish out and i'm amazed at how nice she now looks, it was so dull that i didn't realise it was metalic paint under there
I've only done the bonnet and drivers side so once i've finished i'll get some pics up.

Just the one pic camera batteries went flat.


Am really happy how it scrubbed up, i bought a cheap version of one of those scratch remover pens that put a layer of laquer on the offending area i tried it a few months back and it worked a treat so hopefully today i've got rid of about 30 more light scratches ... poxy kids must think their so clever.

Bit of polish, tyre black and some baby oil and transformed car job done.

Never argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Looks smart - all 406's are remarkable, IMHO.

ijust agree with people like that,

oh ok right then ididnt know that, it makes them feel better
and it gives you something to laugh about later on nowt lost

car looks nice and clean mate,

For masking scratches, get some Sonax (Blue) it covers scratches for about amonth, its better than colour Magic

Finally sit down after polishing the pug and spy a kid looking dodgy by my car so i flew out the door and ask what he's doing? (nothing)... he's standing there dust cap in hand letting my tyre down... little fooking twat.

Well, I am sorry to hear your beautiful Puggy wuggy has been subject to abuse from locals, let me at the little toads
How weird is it is to see this gorgeous car.. it's like my cars twin Only born slightly earlier

Look after her, she's remarkable - they all are

[scotty73]

Cheers.
Decided to use this weekend to do some cleaning and paintwork jobs on the pug seeing as I'm home and the weather ain't to bad so started in the messiest of places on Friday i introduced the dogs living space to Hetty the vacuum...... Hairy little fuka it took me nearly 2 hours just to clean the boot and it still ain't right.

These things ain't seen the light of day in over a year.



Has you can see by the dog restraint he lives to the right of the boot but what looks like a dog piss stain is actually oil or something spilled by previous owner.

next job was the rear of the car where the kids live.... No pics of that or the black bag of rubbish i picked up before i could even let Hetty loose.

Outside pics to come if i have the time to finish it off later.
