Hello again. Having only had 1 new car in my life, taking meticulous care over it, I am just wondering if anyone else is quite as festidious over their cars as I am. Between my car being written off and deciding to go for a ford direct B Max titanium in panther black with extras, I had to disclose some of my secret obsessions that I had with my (old but new) car to the ford dealer so that he understood what is expected when my new BMAX arrives.
I shall share some of my obsessions here just to check if everyone else thinks of me what the guy at the ford dealership did.....
From new, I kept every fuel receipt, not only that, I wrote on the fuel receipt the mileage of my car when I put the fuel in. I was the only person ever to wash my car, by hand, in Xymol car shampoo. I had put electrical compound grease on the battery terminals and other exposed electrical connections. Various nut, bolts and pipes around and under the car had quite a coat of copper grease applied to them, to keep them clean and healthy. I would never think of using de-icer on my windows, harsh chemicals.. grrr! Oh and to finish I must admit to only ever using halfords scented screen wash.
Hopefully I am not alone in thinking that this is normal behaviour for a guy over 40 to lavish on his car? Your thoughts please.
