Pictures HOW FILTHY IS YOUR CAR??

[jackbbc]

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you're all having a fab January?

Have you got hay covering your back seats?
Mud stains all over the footwell?
Then WE WANT YOU!!

I am currently working as a Casting Researcher on a brand new online digital web series for BBC's Top Gear.

We are on the lookout for Britain's filthiest vehicle to be transformed by our Top Gear Clean Team. I have seen a previous thread from 5 years ago where people shared their stories of messy cars and I thought this was excellent.

For your chance to be featured and to have your car deep cleaned then please send an email with pictures of the interior and exterior to jack.norman01@bbc.co.uk

Hopefully there's some goodens out there!!

Hi Toby,
This sounds great!! Are you able to send me some pictures across to jack.norman01@bbc.co.uk

Wish I hadn't cleaned mine last week, I found mould growing in 3 out of 4 footwells ? if you have 3 months to wait, it will be in a similar state by then I'm sure ??

Well you're in the right place.. .

I bought a new car 1 month ago and no one believes it is new!

My OH's car is full of dog hair, mud, hay, bits of sheep sh*te, sheep feed, empty feed sacks and even more dog hair. It got flooded out by river water, too, so there might be the odd minnow in the corners. I refuse to get in it. Long since forgotten what colour it is. I'll see if I can persuade him to go public.

Oh wow!! That sounds perfect for us. If you can persuade him that would be great. Also, if you're able to send me some pictures of the interior and exterior of the car to jack.norman01@bbc.co.uk that would be fab!!

Mine is so bad that I am not sure you would be able to tell it's a car at all.
When they get really really bad I scrap them

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I have sent mine over, I was actually planning on cleaning it (for the first time in 3 years) next week but I am happy to use any excuse not to!

 

[SOS]

If only it was daylight... I’d be sending them over now!

I have a small van which is pretty minging, can't remember the last time I saw the footwell, can write my name in the dust and has green moss growing on the window sills ?

[Steerpike]

I will get some photos tomorrow ?

 

[cobgoblin]

It's a shame we just got rid of the old jeep.. That had a lichen roof!

 

[jackbbc]

I will get some photos tomorrow ?

Amazing!! I look forward to receiving them!

 

[HeyMich]

I used to have mushrooms growing in the footwells of my old car due to leaky door seals and leaky roof. I had to totally replace the carpet before I sold it!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

If I remember I'll get some tomorrow- usually if I have an MOT I'll take it to be cleaned, usually they charge more as it's so bad ? my dad is a used car salesman and he despairs of it ?

It's got quite a lot of toot in it too!

Sorry just because I'm one of those paranoid people is there anything you can link to just to confirm this is all genuine?

 

[Lady Jane]

Mine hasn't been cleaned since July 2019 - it gets cleaned when its serviced normally but that didn't happen because of Covid. I can't compete with mould but the foot wells are quite something and I wouldn't sit on a seat unless in jeans/jodpurs.....I have towels for when we are allowed out again....could be a few months

I know it's awful for you, but this sounds fabulous for us!! If you can send me some pictures of the interior and exterior to jack.norman01@bbc.co.uk or if the file sizes are too big you can drop me a DM on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/jack.norman.906/

I look forward to receiving them!

I can't tell how dirty mine is past all the coats, saddlepads, headcollars, whips, empty feed sacks, full feed sacks, random bits of hi-viz... Pandemic isn't the only reason I can't give anyone a lift. I'm not entirely convinced I've still got any passenger seats under there.

Can't offer a truly filthy vehicle because OH wouldn't allow it, but is it wrong to be loving this thread ?

I think if anyone wants half a bag of Doritos I could probably find that much on the carpets?

Only half a bag?
Pfft. Amateur ???

Jack try farmers, too. You'll find a dead sheep in the back of some farm vehicles, though you really need smell TV to appreciate a farmer's car properly ?. We bought a Landy once that had 6 inches of mud on the chassis and an inch or two on the inside of the roof.

 

[Shilasdair]

I'm too embarrassed to send pictures of mine...but my father once claimed that mechanics put the plastic covers over the seats to protect their overalls from it...
