New Feature Show us your motor and become Instagram famous!

​

I'm going to make an effort to grow our IG page now and I need your help!

So follow us here!​

Do you have an awesome photo of your motor you want to show off?

If so - simply attach it to this thread (feel free to add some text info I could also use) and I'll go through them adding them to our Instagram page.

Bonus points if you have already added your vehicle to our garage - which I will then link to in the IG post.

To help me keep track, I'll send a heart reaction to the post once it's accepted - but you can keep track of what's been done by also checking out the local forum gallery.

Let the entries flow forth!

Quite like the one of my B in my profile which you're free to use.

Can I leave you to get rid of the number plates if necessary? Last is the Bravo 1.6D 100, 000 miles and range 338 on a half tank. That car capable of 85mpg on a long run!!

Does this count?

I'm doing yours as the first test (to see if IG correctly picks it up from the album)

If all goes correctly, it should automatically post at 11am tomorrow!

Ok that worked, now I'll try two now which should trickle over the next 2 days.

I do declare that a success, so now you guys need to keep the photos coming!

I'll push the IG page a bit more too

Which pic could possibly be better than Club Cento at this year's Festival Italia

It should be one time and then never again, has it been repeating?

How do you guys keep these so pristine?! Had to look twice... initially I thought how was the camera quality so good "back then" only to spot the modern Panda behind... wow!

Got the punto gleaming on this one

This was at Festival Italia on the 11th of this month, mines the grey one in the middle, it does have small imperfections up close but it's generally very clean for it's age. When I got it out of a collectors barn in June this year I just gave it a really good hand polish along with a good waxing, rustproofed the underside after cleaning it up to protect it as it's never been welded, replaced a few parts due to age & lack of use as it's only done 24k from new. In regards to keeping it clean grey or silver is the best colour for keeping clean with very minimal effort & not showing imperfections, I just give it a quick going over each day with Meguiars ultimate detailer mixed with Chemical Guys speed wipe anti static detailer to keep the pollen from sticking to the paint at this time of year which takes not even 10 minutes to keep it feeling nice & smooth & a snow foam with iron fallout remover every week or 2 along with a quick spray wax afterwards & every so often a polish along with a proper good old fashioned paste wax afterwards, this Seicento is such a relief to own compared with the black Panda I owned before as that was a constant nightmare trying to keep it clean & showed up every imperfection, the only thing that's letting the Seicento down now is the rear bumper which is cracked with lacquer peel & is slightly broken in one corner so I'm keeping an eye out for one in the same colour

That looks really good, I love white on old cars, I think with these modern domestic appliances white just doesn't look right but on your Punto & other cars of this age or older it just looks great
