I've seen the car before, it was revealed on pistonheads months ago, nice from the factory certainly

That guy had his previous car detailed and it was stunning, agree with you on the new one, superb!

 

is this the gimp who had the blue Astra about a year ago and did the most anal detailing ever which resulted in a lot of piss take pics?!

 

Loving the pictures with the white 3 door too, good pair of oldskool and modern taken on a performance car.

 

Yes, same guy I think, done a bit more with this one though, in terms of an ice install etc.

TBH he's probably killed the value of it longer term, and its not really to my taste, but it is all very nicely executed.

Gotta laugh at the amount of people totally gobsmacked by a bloke who did a basic install well and cleaned his car thoroughly, pages and pages of over the top arselick replies, I think his ring is probably even cleaner than his astra

 

Yeah i remember that, i think it might be....there were people detailing dysons and irons etc....

 

Yes

 

WTF, then he drives it out the garage and it rains.

Ok i can see the reason for doing this to an old car thats been restored and your not going to use.

But tomorrow his wifes going to go shopping in it.

It would be like me rebuilding and engine then driving through the desert with no air filter on it. I couldn't justify all that work when you know it's pretty pointless.

Top motor though, just could do with a wash

 

Yeah there was a whole in depth type up like the above car, and pictures of said Dyson in a lit up underground car park

I admire it, but at the same time think WTF, like when he clayed it because he found 2 specks in the paint that you can only see with a magnifying glass

 

Rather spend the effort and money using for what it is supposed to myself, but each to the own and it is well done.

 

FPMSL!

 

arrrgggghhh i wish i had never started reading it now, this pillock winds me the fuck up!!

lots of up-close pictures later, showing the appalling <1mm blob.....

rejecting it.....!!!! What fucking planet does he live on, seriously!?

 

Me too

I love detailing, I've always been very anal about cleaning cars, but he's an arse, he's arrogant, and sounds like a cheesy, over-the-top salesman.

named the Nurburgring after its spiritual home

It's a FWD family hatchback FFS!

 

SO true

 

His tax disk is in wonky.

 

One of my friends did the same as this guy, in terms of selling her arden blue VXR for a Nurburgring one, i still to this day cannot understand why you'd pay the extra money for some awful graphics and carbon fibre bits, i think they look naff. My own personal opinion ofcourse.

 

the funny thing is rog, they are "carbon fibre effect" that's all - surely that's the tackiest of the tack!!?

I've now got to this bit:




WHAT. THE. FUCK. !!

 

What an arse. Needs to get out more, and possibly get his end away as thats too long to be washing your car

 

Especially a gay chequered flag decal which looks like something a kid would spend his Ł10 Halfords gift voucher he got for his 17th birthday on!

 

Oh my fucking god. Its a astra..... a pishy white one at that.

 

That was proper boring to look at a read

 

what a virgin the guy needs to get a life, whats wrong with washing your car with a bit of FL and a DS, or for the none detailers fairy liquid and a dirty sponge

 

Ł20 this guy is an accountant!

 

No, I do believe he's a photocopier operator or something like that.

 

Have I really just read a webpage about a guy who's detailed a BRAND NEW car?
W...T...F?

I really dont get it. Infact I find it so utterly ridiculous I'm worried my head may just explode with the sheer madness of it all.

Photgraphing the paint and detecting how thick it is to the nearest micron - I mean, who really does this?? Is it an elaborate windup?

 

Well when its a mass production car with low paint finnish standards, it actually makes a reasonable amount of sense if you want it mint.

After all, id love to get my hands on an RS500 given the same treatment from new and then looked after since, wouldnt you?

 

An RS500, yes, an Astra, no

 

20 years ago people would have been saying the same about a limited edition sierra, they would have been saying along the lines of "an rs1800i maybe, but not a sierra"

 

The truth is coming out now!

i didn't read the bit about underneath the carpet as i was falling asleep by the, that just beggars belief, I bet he detols his ass after taking a shite!

 

Yes but think of what the RS500 was designed for, and why there were only 500 produced, and the fact that it was a supercar slayer in its day (and still is with the right tweaks). An Astra with a sticker just isn't...

I agree to a point that no one thought along those lines then, but times change, it's just how tuning and all other aspects have moved on, what we know now that we didn't then.

 

The nurburgring could be stolen by aliens and moved to mars next week, at which point the astra as the official last sanctioned limited edition named after it could suddenloy be worth a fortune, so who knows what the future holds, but yes I suspect you are right and the astra just isnt special enough to ever become truely collectable.

 

Missed that!! Can you post a pic as I can't find it?

 

 

The 3 door is cool. A proper style icon.
The VXR looks like a stormtrooper's hat.

 

People made similar comments about the 3 door when new, to what people do the vxr now.

 

OCD - WINNER 2008.



OH MY DEAR GOD!

The guy is a nutter!

 

!!!!! That 3dr is one of my best mates old cars!!! It was concourse champion for many years, has won every trophy available on the RS calendar as far as i'm aware!

What a turn up for the books! I'll point him to the car, shame the bloke cunted the bonnet up underneath though with all that horrible bling! This is what it used to look like!


Can't find a close up of the engine bay though, although it was faultlessly clean and standard! Kevin somone built the car when it entered concours for the first time IIRC

 

I'd rather have this



Than an uber clean anal retentive weirdo washed 3 times a week Astra 'Nurburgring' edition..

Infact, I'd rather have ANY track car, battered to shit or not, than that Astra...

 

PMSL at using bottled water to clean the car, 50 litres too!!
