Hi Everyone!!

I hope you're all having a fab January?

Have you forgotten the colour of your car because of the mud?
Too many stains on your back seats to even consider cleaning them?
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 many threads online where people share their stories of messy cars and I thought this was excellent place to come.

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 [email protected]

Hopefully there's some goodens out there!!

Thanks Jack for assuming that the dirtiest vehicle in the country would be owned by a farmer. That's not pursuing a stereotypical image of a farmer at all, I suppose that in your vastly superior woke state you compare us all in your minds eye to Compo in last of the summer wine or some other grubby village idiot. Frankly I am offended by your presumption and I think it demonstrates how out of touch the program makers are in the BBC are with modern agriculture and modern farmers.
And for what its worth the most disgustingly dirty vehicle I have ever witnessed both inside and out was owned and driven by a Teacher.

There’s 1 person I can think of who would be an ideal candidate, used to work for the BBC and is now farming.... Any guesses who?

the next episode of this farming life was replaced with f**king cwiss packham and winter watch, which wasn't even the proper winter watch because of covid, but because it's cwiss he HAD to be on air :mad:
As I said, the bbc isn’t our PR agency, I’d much prefer ift if they didn’t air offensive bullish!t .............. because that’s how I view packham however that is just my opinion no matter how adamant I am that it’s fact.
Remaining episodes of this farming life will still be aired, it hasn’t been cancelled, hopefully it is popular enough that not only will it be repeated at some point but another series will also be made.

I have a question! Unless you have a fasciitis partner or plentiful staff, if you work 70+ hrs a week looking after, what .. even a small herd of 100+ dairy cows, or maybe similar beef, or hundreds of sheep, with all the practical very hands on that involves, not to mention all the endless paperwork that goes with it, plus all the domestic indoor work that just 'happens', coping with whatever the weather throws at you, etc etc how the **** does anyone expect the average working farm 4x4 to be immaculate?

Go away, and tell the public red meat production is destroying the planet.

That's normally the BBC's agenda.
 
The filthiest vehicle I’ve ever seen belonged to a late customer of mine.

I was rained off on a job 20 miles from home and he asked me how I was getting home. He said I could borrow his pick up as long as I was back with it next day. It was parked in his garage, just the back poking out with a dented rear tailgate, a two year old L200.

I gathered my stuff together, he gave me the keys and went into the house. As I squeezed down the side to get in I got covered in muck and shite but made it to the passenger door to put my stuff on the passenger seat. The door wouldn’t open, it was damaged, stoved right in and creased beyond use. So I squeezed round the front to get to the drivers side. More filth and damage with string tying the bonnet down.

Happily, the drivers door opened. It was then I considered walking home. The stench that met me could of knocked me over had it not been for the wall holding me up. The inside was a sight I will never forget. Every surface, lever, knob and seat had been shredded with dog teeth. The steering wheel was chewed down to the core in places and the handbrake was barely usable. There were half chewed dog treats lay around and empty gun cartridges aplenty. A touch of luxury, there was a feed bag on the drivers seat. I didn’t like to look at what it may be covering.

It started first time and I went up the drive. Honestly, the stench was making my stomach churn. I had all the windows open and drove home like that all the way, despite the driving rain. The blood streaked all across the dashboard had me worried, but it seemed innocent when I noticed the back legs of a rabbit poking out from under the passenger seat. I thought that was maybe the cause of the stench, so pulled over.

I used a handy Tesco carrier bag as a glove and grabbed the legs. What greeted me I will never forget. Most of the rabbit came out leaving assorted bits and hundreds of maggots. It was lucky to be mostly laid on another feed bag and I managed to roll that up and chuck that out too.

It was an experience I will never forget. On the very odd occasion I borrow a vehicle I make a point of filling it with fuel. I decided I would do that next morning in the dark rather than be seen in public when it was busy. My wife exclaimed when I got home about the state of it. It was truly a horrendous sight, not a straight panel on it and absolutely filthy, encrusted in cow shite and mud. There was no way it would pass its first MOT. There was a fresh clutch of dog eggs laid in the load bed along with more filth and an antler.

My Dad used to say “A bad ride is better than a good walk”, but that day had me wondering. And I still had to make the return journey......

It was half full of fuel. I decided that was enough and knock him £30 off his invoice instead.
