invasive species they're the Japanese knotweed of salad getting ready to wash cars bit shampoo getting the old buckets loaded up my name's James I run a company called ti22 um we've been detailing and pping cars in the area for like 15 years now most of the cars have turned up from manufacturers but the the collecting cars yars is dirty so we'll give her a clean it must be the only standard Ys GR in the country yeah I think we should put an exhaust on it [Music] person the whole thing with car cleaning detailing really you want to get as much of the dirt off the car without contact washing as possible to avoid what we call swirl marks or any light damage to the paint this is called snow foam for obvious reasons car's quite dirty letting it dwell and then we'll give it a good blast off and then we'll get into cleaning the dirtier areas like the wheels and we'll wash it [Applause] normally uh I need it now as possible thank you yeah no worries all yours cuz typical the one they want is the one you're halfway through cleaning but there you are we'll do the rest later okay cool can I have the next cars in please thank you very much Chrissy yes boss what's with the bin oh sugar right sorry in we go right here we go so this is the trusty collecting cars giis that we've had for a while now and it's it's a very popular member of the team everyone loves it despite the fact you sit too high um this is its rival uh a bin and there's nothing too cryptic here the car i' booked in to go against the Aris drop down that's what happens when you film stuff so at the moment we're going to substitute it in an amus way with the bin um it's a bit like the tub of lb for Roy Hatley on uh on have I got news for you so um after this I'm going to post on Instagram saying if you've got

me small but surprisingly heavy 1310 kg but it's got 261 horsepower from that wonderful little 3 cylinder 1.6 L engine the bin on the other hand is going to be replaced by a gorgeous 1963 Swift tune Mini Cooper on paper it looks like the odds are heavily against it it has half the power but it weighs under half that of the Yaris couple this with the Mini's legendary cornering and that may well turn the tables let the fight begin the power of social media I wanted arrival for GI Yaris and my mate bought his mini down it's called a Cooper and so is he called Cooper it's a lovely symmetry there right it's a hatchback he got a back and this that's like a hatch there's room in there that's a hatchback you can get a suitcase yeah it's sort of indistinguishable from a Honda Civic it is a 1963 original Mini Cooper S it's now um an FIA appendix K historic racer it's got historic papers so it was originally built by Swift tune who produce all the racing Mini engines for Goodwood this was their first Works car and it was for sale on 1 cars auction site in the summer and with about 15 minutes to go to the end of the auction one Friday evening summer I saw it and I thought that looks really nice I could have that we could have fun with it so I put it in a bid and ended up with it and then we thought well what actually what do we do with it so it's been rebuilt by Swift tune and sat in one of the sheds and we thought we ought to go and use it so we took it to Goodwood this week for a track day it was brilliant wasn't it you guys had a fantastic time in it yeah it's super fun
