Do you appreciate it, or just think he's plain crazy.

I appreciate it but it's a little crazy aswell.. I mean how could you find time to do all this. Perfectionist if I ever saw one..

ronnie3585

I think he wants people to know that it's the Nurburgring edition!

Sweet mother of jesus that's perfection at OCD levels. I would consider myself an anal b*stard when it comes to attention to detail but this guy is mad. All that work and he's still left with an Astra. The OPC (VRX) is a cracking little car, but the money this guy must have spent on all the mods and upgrades probably would have bought him a 911, F430, R8 etc!

Still looking at all the pictures... insane.

The car is cracking stock... talk about OCD.

pyramuid man

Way too much time on his hands.
Is he one of those people who likes to make love to his car?

L1011

Utter, utter OCD.

However, if I had a 'nice' car I would probably pay for someone else to detail it. Would never have the time/energy to do it myself!

I like the idea of making the car more sporty by adding weight to it!
I wonder if it will ever see the ring?

Mad?

More like psychotic

A little? He must cry bitter tears when he drives the thing - "Oh the contaminants!"

SuperGrover

He doesn't seem even vaguely interested in driving it.

Nutcase.

If I had that much time and cash I could handle a dose of OCD

Ha, thought that too. Although that gash racing stripe should compensate for the excess weight!

‘Frankly it was bad enough when he just crapped on about “detailing” his bloody car again,’ said his father, Jennifer. ‘But when he announced that he was going to reward his mother’s dinner-making efforts by “detailing” the dirty dishes that was the final straw’.

Spip’s sister, David, was quick to add to her father’s ire. ‘My brother seems to mistakenly believe that the word “detailing” is a synonym for “really cleaning something” . Except I’ve checked in the dictionary and as far as I can work out, “detailing” actually refers to small decorative features on a building, work of art or other object and in no way means spending all pissing weekend rubbing a sponge and some cloths over your stupid twatting car’.

Spies in the Misby camp say that following the “detailing” of dirty pans and crockery, Spip retired to the bathroom to spend a typically suspicious amount of time in the shower, probably ‘detailing’ his cock.

"Anal" is the term that comes to mind, if ever there was a bloke that needs
a girlfriend...

I particularly liked:

Now i then spotted a problem on the roof which i was really unhappy about...A small paint blob about half a mm in size but none the less its there probably a spit from the spray gun...

and after discussion we realised that without looking really hard it was not visible to the eye without knowing it was there so i accepted it as rejecting the car now would be difficult...

Must have cost him a fortune. What's up with getting wax in a fancy wooden box like! I think the white wheels suited it a bit better. Does he not work? He seemed to be doing stuff to the car every day. And how did he get around while he kept that locked in his garage

furtzy

The guys a nutter...de-badging the car to clean behind it....wonder does he remove his shirt buttons before putting in the wash

Matt Simis

I dont know why, but I just cannot like or even appreciate anything Opel/Vauxhall do since they replaced the Calibra with the Tigra.

Kinda sickening that someone would spend that much time and resources on a new car (50l of bottled Reverse Osmosis Water in one wash...) and it still looks like a Halfords special edition.

daveharnett

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the rather fanatical attention to detail involved. If I won the euromillions, I'd pay him to live in my garage and polish stuff.

Provided I didn't have to interact with him of course. I suppose the butler could feed him.

Did I read it correctly when it said that that box of wax cost £10,000.00, or was he saying that he spent £10k in total on wax for the car. Either way it's crazy. He could have re-sprayed the car for that kind of money, twice!

Yes, but then he would have to start waxing all over again. It's obvious the guy is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, could you imagine his reaction to a rainy day? Or following a truck on a motorway, or having to just drive it in the real world?

ronnie3585

Apart from the bags of cash wasted on this car the real shame is that it will remain as a garage queen and will likely never be driven much more than from the garage onto the back of a truck when going to shows.

Could just imaging this guy sitting behind a truck on a dirty old road on a rainy day, would think it would be a bit of a rainman moment!

Yeah the box of wax is worth £10,000, but he doesnt own it.

He is a friend of Paul Dalton, from Miracle Detail (most expensive car wash in the world on Fifth Gear) is the guy who formulated the wax so he was just using his.

I think its actually just the swarovski crystal box that takes up a lrage chunk of the cost.

While it think its a little over the top you do have to admire the attention to detail. This especially caught my eye.

No he actually uses the car as his daily driver. He does however wash it 2-3 times per week! and washes hos wheels 4-5 times a week!
