For some of us, our car is truly our pride and joy, but for others, it’s nothing more than just a dumping ground on wheels.
It’s the latter that could win a £200 car cleaning bundle in this case though.
From takeaway containers and drinks cans, to random papers, packages and more, most of us either know someone who likes to keep their cars chocked full of rubbish, or are guilty of it ourselves, but that’s why leading car parts supplier, Euro Car Parts, has launched a nationwide competition to search for the messiest motor in the UK.
Now, it may not be a title to wear with pride, but getting to take home the top prize of a deep valet clean and your very own car cleaning bundle make it all the more worth while, and all you have to do is to submit a photo of your messy car interior to be in with a chance of winning.
And there’s still time for the Greater Manchester to represent the region this year.

The nationwide competition is set to close at midnight on Thursday 11th February, so you have a few days left to get those entries in.
Fancy having a look at what you’re up against already?
On the top left, we have an entry from Kevin Miller, who thanks his wife and kids for this array of clutter and won’t own up to any of it himself, and then on the top right, we have Steve Hitchman from Newbury’s entry, who, quite simply, seems to be using the back of his car as a skip.
Below on the left, it seems that Abigail Kaczalska from Preston has a couple of small passengers who like to make a pretty big mess.
Beth Blaylock on the right looks to have swapped the café for her car in Carlisle.

And underneath those two, it looks like Truro’s Rosalind Blight’s back seat passengers have nowhere to put their feet if she ever offers them a lift.
Speaking on the nationwide search, Helen Robinson – Corporate Communications Director at Euro Car Parts – said: “We all have busy lives so cleaning out our cars can sometimes come last on the list of endless jobs, however, it’s important to your car tidy because having things in the way can impact your driving [and] most of us have more extra time on our hands due to lockdown, making it a great time to finally clean it out.
“Though many of these entrants will need the car valet kit, there can only be one winner,

“So if your car is worse than these, don’t miss the chance to enter”.

Drinks prices revealed as Manchester Airport’s first-ever Wetherspoons pub opens inside T2
Emily Sergeant
It’s official… Manchester Airport’s first-ever JD Wetherspoon pub has officially opened its doors inside Terminal 2.
The 300-seater pub – which welcomed its first customers earlier this week – is named The Belle Vue after Manchester’s historic showground.
Throughout the pub, you’ll spot design features that nod to the city’s sporting heritage – including vintage event posters and memorabilia, a ‘locker wall’ hosting trophies and other sporting exhibits, and a cricket-themed design in the carpets and bar panels.
Creating around 150 jobs in the process, The Belle Vue is the final planned new eatery to open in the airport’s redeveloped Terminal 2, marking one of the final steps in the super-terminal’s decade-long, £1.5bn transformation.

According to the MEN, pints are priced from £6.20 for Carling and Coors lager, £6.45 for Budweiser, £6.60 for Guinness, and £6.70 for Poretti and 1664 Biere.
Prosecco is £9.20 for 175ml glass and £37.10 for the full bottle, while spirts and mixers are £6.80 for singles and £10.20 for doubles.
There’s also the classic Wetherspoons tea and coffee machines, where you can refill as many times as you like for just £3.60.
“It’s a proud moment to see the final new retail unit opening in our new-look Terminal 2,” commented Richard Jackson, who is the Retail Director at Manchester Airport.
“To be rounding off this 10-year programme by adding such an iconic name as Wetherspoon to the terminal is particularly special and we know that it will prove extremely popular with passengers. We think they’ll love the nods to Manchester’s heritage in the décor and design – and of course the name.”
The Belle Vue will be open from the first flight to the final flight each day, and food will be served from opening until 10pm.

Iconic Manc movie 24 Hour Party People is set to return to cinemas for its anniversary
Emily Sergeant
One of Manchester’s most iconic movies is set to return to the big screen next month.
Remastered in 4K and returning to UK cinemas to mark 24 years since its original release, Michael Winterbottom’s 2002 biographical comedy drama film, 24 Hour Party People, tells the story of Manchester‘s popular music community from 1976 to 1992 – specifically about Factory Records‘ founder Tony Wilson.
The film begins with the punk rock era of the late 1970s, before moving through the 1980s into the rave and DJ culture, and of course, the ‘Madchester‘ scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The narrative largely follows the career of Tony Wilson, played by Middleton-born actor Steve Coogan, while also covering the careers of the major Factory Records artists – especially Joy Division and New Order, as well as A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, and Happy Mondays.
If you haven’t seen 24 Hour Party People before, it’s a dramatisation based on a combination of real events, rumours, and urban legends, as the film is sure to make clear.
Coogan is joined by a cast by a mixture of big names and, at the time, rising stars like Paddy Considine, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, John Simm, Ralf Little, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, John Thomson, and even Peter Kay, alongside cameos from other figures connected to the Manchester music scene.
Before it returns to cinemas, the film will first open music and media festival/conference, Beyond The Music, at MediaCity in Salford on 6 October.
The screening at the festival will also be followed by a Q&A with Coogan, Winterbottom, and producer Andrew Eaton.
24 Hour Party People will then be re-released in UK cinemas from 9 October, and you can check your local cinema for screening times and book tickets online now.
