I know that there is already a thread where we are posting photos of our cars at their best, but... what about one of them at their worst?

 

...I will get things started with some photos from my car after a particularly crappy trip on bad weather and sitting behind trucks:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this is the dirtiest any car I ever had was ever - I forgot to make pics from the sides, but in a nutshell, you can barely tell the color of the car

 

Needs to go in the Styling and Car Care Forum! Impressively dirty. 

Not sure that will be topped to be honest! Pure filth 

Quite intresting as it shows the air flow, a bit like a wind tunnel.

 

I have to ask Jacko,  " Do you only have dirt roads in Finland, do any have tarmac on ?    "

 

An old one, it's even dirtier right now but dark outside, I'll get another pic tomorrow.

I drove nearly 300km behind cars

...all tarmac, but roads here are always muddy.

OP is cheating....

 

 

its a white car...you just have to look at them at they get dirty....

nah its meteor grey, has to be :P

 

Makes me feel a little better about the state mine is in, after driving around the backroads of Somerset last weekend.

Well that's just typical, I've only just been to the car wash this afternoon, after mine went in for its yearly service. 

 

It was pure filth at lunchtime, plus being black, it doesn't take any mucking up at all 

Thankfully this isn't mine:-

5 days under a tree in the lakes. Still pulling bits of leaves out of it now, hosed it down every day it was there too!

Bird poo is not good for your paint.

Makes me wonder if there’s a market for Autoglym bird seed and fat balls?

Lets turn it around and make birds pooing on our cars a positive thing!

Here's another one which had previously caught my eye. Maybe not a 'daily driver' though?

Your Skoda Octavias look strange... Is it a local market specific model or...?

After I had an incident with bird poo eating my clearcoat on an old car I had, I nowadays go and immediately wash it off as soon as it happens, which is usually with 2h after I wash my car - it seems washed cars are a bird poo magnet

We have a spray bottle full of washer fluid in the car just to dissolve the bird poo.

That's in the summer, now it's for melting the ice.

I believe it has a limited edition Superskoda bodykit - however I may just be totally wide of the mark there.

 

Or............ Maybe I should have looked at what section the posts were in instead of just the title!

 

It was washed last Friday...

But that colour doesn't count - it looks dirty already while it is clean

You guys have no idea about 'bird poo'. Where I am the seagulls are around 8 feet tall with three broo3n families behind them and tattoos that would make a sailor blush. They eat the manky bottom feeding sea mish and then **** it all over your clearcoat. Thats not the worst of it. A lot of thsm spend their days floating in the nuclear storage ponds at sellafield and have been known to contaminate entire gardens. Id take starling crap over that any day.

Somerset lanes. There’s almost no point washing the car at the moment. It gets like this is a few days....

It is getting washed now - always a proud moment when one of the guys cleaning it comments to the other he had never seen so dirty car

...the other knows I am regular customer and just translated what he had said

There - clean again!

 

 

...for 10 minutes, but OK

 

And after the trip home, already covered in snow:

We have a huge snow storm here in Tampere right now - had to pull over to help 2 girls on a old Mercedes SLK push it up a hill.

Guess they had **** tires or couldn't drive
