Dirty, dirty candy...

Post by Deacon »

Before I begin, if you were expecting a thread of a dubious nature about our esteemed mod candy monster I'm afraid this isn't it (that thread can be found at..... :D Only kidding CM)

Due to having a fubar'd elbow as the result of a climbing (well falling!) accident I haven't been able to clean my 'roc for about the last three months. Today I decided enough was enough so i loaded up on as many painkillers as I could manage and set to work but took some pictures before hand to show how dirty a candy 'roc gets after three months (mostly on the drive rather than being driven).

Last two pictures are a bit of a half and half on the bonnet
