MOSS UPDATES

The old Moss Europe website has performed valiantly over the years and like any favourite classic many people have come to love it. We had the same situation some years ago when the comfy old pair of shoes that was the original totalkitcar website design was definitely becoming unwieldy and needed a refresh.

Moss felt that their website, like any well-used cherished vehicle, was showing signs of wear and tear and in need of a major restoration. Ecommerce technology has developed at an incredible pace and Moss wanted to bring their customers the best website-experience possible.

APPLE SCREENWASH

Dunno about you, but screenwash is a product that’s easy to forget and neglect but if you haven’t got any on a winter day especially, a dirty windscreen that you can’t get clean, will spoil your driving enjoyment.

I’ve tried every product known to man. Most have a horrid chemical smell, are too concentrated and/or leave the ‘screen smeary. Hopeless. I even tried shoving malt vinegar in the washer bottle once. Well, it works on your windows at home but not on a car windscreen.

It kept making me hungry though as I had a compulsion to buy some chips every time More >
