Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ah ha didn't know that !! Taking the badge of a new car to clean underneath it is too much as is washing it with bottled water !! Link to post Share on other sites

Roan 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 There's detailing then there's DETAILING. I followed both VXR threads from the start and each post left me more gobsmacked than the last. He is a bit of an arse from the evidence (although I don't personally know the guy so that might be unfair), for example wanting to reject the car for a crayon mark in the bodywork under the carpet (!) He probably spent £30k on that car, and will never see any of it back. At the end of the day, it's still a Vauxhall Astra! Think what £30k could have bought! Doesn't make sense...

bulldog 2 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Bet his MRS wished he spent that much time pumping her :-p Bet she's pleased he aint cause that time he spends polishing his VXR gives her time to shag the neighbour, not that he'd notice cause he spends all his time in the garage :S I'd love it if after all that polishing, he drove it out of the garage and a seagull dumped on it Link to post Share on other sites
