Not me no! Was there a spoiler on it? I haven't seen another one in that colour with the Tezz spoiler yet

It's just a fcuking joke at this stage. Sooner or later costs will be so high and wages so crappy that working won't be a feasable option. So go on the dole, go broke, ring the bank and tell them "You know that mortgage I'm paying? Well, here's where you can put it..." then tell the Government "You know those taxes I'm paying, well guess what" and as for going out, buying things, etc... that's out the window too.
What will the government do? Raise taxes, it's the only thing they know how to do and when that doesn't work, they raise taxes.
What will it do for the country if 100000 mortgages go into default? Multiply the average mortgage by 100000 and you'll know what kind of financial hole you got.

The car had no protection on it at all when I got it so I've quite a bit of work ahead of me at the weekend. I ordered Glossworks Glaze, Jetseal, Gtechnic C4 and IronX which all should be delivered today.

It's going to be a wheels off job on Saturday to clean all the crap from the inside rim, de-tar them, Iron-X them and seal them. Then it'll be a wash, dry, glaze, jetseal and wax for the rest of the car

I've used it a lot in the past few years

I'm just weary that it might turn my car pink :P

Nah don't worry man,

Also great stuff, but the Vantage wax is the best product I've ever bought, cant recommend it enough

2 of their products are worthwhile but vectra is not a tool to use their whole range (of crap)!
