A bit of TLC

My 1M BSM has now just covered 2k miles since picking it up nearly 2 months ago. I thought I would share a picture of it after giving it a good clean this afternoon.

Didnt realise how hard it is to clean and dry a black car without leaving water marks. Helps that I gave it a good coat of wax a few weeks back though!

Also noticed I have a screw nicely embedded in the nearside rear wheel. Not sure what to do. It lost pressure initially but seems to be ok now. I think it can be repaired, any suggestions welcome?

Fantastic car!
Get that tire professionally evaluated / patched or replaced ASAP!

cheers Denso for the link. Im gonna get the tyre examined by my local garage, but looking at where the screw is its in the groove of the tyre about 1/3 of the way in. hopefully a professional repair will do the job!!

Great looking machine! If the screw is on the flat surface of the tire (away from the sidewalls) it is repairable.

Great looking car! It is good to see some new pics of BSM as it seems most people are getting AW or VO. I am leaning towards BSM as well if I can find an allocation.

Best get a reverse osmosis filter water system to rinse shampoo off your car, no problems with water marks left on your car then
