Pierre ZFP Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 [quote user="Bugbear"]The stuff in the glass pots is worth £6000.[/quote]Nah, the stuff in the pots costs £6000 [6]Why on earth would anyone want to do that to a Vauxhall Ordinary? It's hardly a supercar is it. Having hired Astras in the past I know there are much better cars on the market, this car is fundamentally awful and it has the highly undesireable Vauxhall badge on the front to boot!The phrase 'more money than sense' springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Its all a bit anal isn't it?Can you imagine the blokes in the garage having him hanging over their shoulders photographing their every move, but to then put it on the web for others to "enjoy....."? Yeewwwwwww [+o(]. I bet he's not married either, in fact he makes my OH look quite reasonable in comparison.Why spend all this money on what is - and always will be - a Vauxhall? Whatever it cost he could have put towards buying something that already had class that did not need him giving it what he considers to a be beautifying and making it different to the rest. Yuk yuk yuk.. More money than sense is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framboise Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Or fetch it here to where I am in the UK and have the hoodies queueing up to rip the wing mirrors off or run their bike handlebars along the side. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 What a muppet, his life must be a total void and meaningless to be so obsessed, and by a bl00dy Vauxhall of all things, get a life [:-))]Reminds me of concours fanatics who spend the weeks prior to a competition stripping their cars and cleaning the tyre treads with a toothbrush. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Apart from the man's obvious mental deficiency over a Vauxhall, forsooth....................[:-))]We used to achieve excellent top shine with "depth" over 30 years ago in the bodyshop, with the application of many hard hours of elbow grease, fifteen coats of true cellulose, lots of inter-coat flatting and two stage final hand compounding, finishing up with Brasso.Final gilding of the lily was the application, carefully, of Simoniz hard wax.However, this was for real cars: not mass produced plastic-bodied toys!How times change.One can only hope the guy doesn't collect a fast asleep Turkish truck driver: as did an acquaintance of mine before Christmas, when stationary on the M25!He'd only picked his new lease car up two hours before. A total write off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
