Washing with bugs

Does anyone else find that bug seems to join in the cleaning party. I gave mine a good wash/clay/wax and kept getting bugs landing all over the car all the time. Squished a few by accident as well which made me go over certain areas again. *sigh*

Re: Anyone in to photography?

550D is a pretty good start (Canon man myself). DPreview does in depth reviews of camera and lenses. My only advice is after the body, buy the best glass you can afford.. no point having a £500+ camera using a cheap lens, you'll get cheap pictures. If its for a one off event you could always rent fr...

Re: Snow watch... Northampton to Glasgow??

Re: What MPG to Expect?

i wouldn't worry about MPG until there is a a few k on the clock. I tend to get ~40MPG, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Depends on the weight of my right foot ;)
