Very interesting, but I do wonder why? To buy a brand new ashtray and then spend that much on it doesn't make very much sense to me, I wonder who he gets his financial advice from :oops:

The barryboys piss take is funny though.... :lol:

The end result does look amazing but I can't help thinking there's only so many times you can do that before you need a respray. Unless it never needs cleaning again...

That guy would be really interesting to speak too :roll:

It's funny how just normal water was not good enough to rinse the car with - oh no, only reverse osmosis water is good enough :roll:

When it rains this guy cries like a baby and when a stone chip hits the bonnet he dies of a broken heart.

If I read this correcly he engaged the services of that bloke for 4 days + materials :shock:

Mad :?

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

You want someone to come and polish your, errr, "headlamps"? Should we have a lottery or would you prefer us to fight for the privilege?
