    I can't believe there are people out there like that...does he ever drive that car?

    (I'm still 50% of the way through the thread...)

    I thought my girlfriend had OCD about cleaning stuff!

    HE NEEDS A GIRLFRIEND!

    I think although it is very other the top, his level of dedication is amazing. It's called detailing and he's done a good job of going into detail! It's what he enjoys and what he does - he does it well.


    At least he doesn't have sex with it like those guys do to Beetles..

    Insane level of detail, but fair play to the guy if that's what he wants to spend every waking moment doing lol. Nice black mk2 golf on the second page. That sierra's nice as well.

    I agree that this guy is VERY obsessive, and things such as seeing his two mates hover around his car with SLRs snapping pictures of minute paint imperfections, and screenshots of his PC software that actually logs the paint thickness readings really are far too much.

    But the quality of some of the work is brilliant.

    And SMD does not stand for 'surface mount diode'.

    You say that, I reckon his hobbies run to more than just bothering his motor with Qtips. I was surprised he had a single mate in the world to take the pics of him, but there they were, no wait, yep they're other polish smokers he met on the interweb. Bet next door don't ask him to babysit the kids.

    It's that guff about putting wax on with bare hands... one step away from rubbing yourself on the car tbh.

    And 51 coats? Cobblers... He was using a minute amount of that stuff so there's no way there would be 51 coats anywhere, just cock waving.

    slightly off topic but, has anyone read the details of the nurburg edition vxr? these are the differences
    so the nurburg edition (remebering nurburg is a race track) has exactly 2 race features over the stadard car

    light alloy wheels
    exaust system

    does no one find that really funny?

    bascially it looks to me like your paying extra for leather seats the afore mentioned wheels and exhaust and a trip to halfords for some stick on sh*t

    wtf they didnt even use actual carbon fiber - who buys this ****e? no wonder there only making 800 of them, there are only 800 idiots stupid enough to pay for them! unless they are less 1000 in price difference which would cover the cost of the nice seats whats the point?

    Does anyone want to mention to him that most manufacturers "leather" seats are 90% plastic?

    Yep. That`s the same guy! The blue Astra is the one he sold to get the white one.

    Seems he goes through that process with every new car he buys...[:s]


    Oh no, Chris. That`s `snowfoaming`...apparently...:lol:

    this has to sum up this guy tho, he changed the exhaust (one of only two usefull features on his limited car) from the one on the left to the one on the right as the one on the left "is too xr3i"























    wait for it

















    here we go

    although there is several times the legal amount of sarcasm in that coat thread, nothing quite does it like this pic.

    oh my god i keep reading and it gets worse

    next plan on the horizon after changing the limited exhaust, changing the colour of the limited wheels (to look like halfords crome wheels) is.... rip apart the custom leather intirior

    what a feckin idiot, next he will be removing the squares on the body and fitting crome mirrors

    he may aswell have kept the standard car!
