Whilst wheels off have noticed serious tyre wear on inside so going to get wheels aligned.....getting fooking expensive this NEC car show malarkey!!! I will also grab myself a banner - will look smart if we all wearing one I must admit. Two Jags prezza can't be all bad, he had two Jags after all? I had a lad look at mine for detailing but unfortunately he wasn't available til Feb. He came along with a meter and lights told me how much paint was on it, which way the car had been sprayed and because he couldn't do it give a lot of info and links for a machine and polish for a quicky before NEC. To make perfect he would need 3/4 days.
stephens_xpack Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 I'm not going mad, just a few hours worth with any luck, the paint is pretty good, just want 20 years worth of storage dust removed properly and some serious shiney wax put on for protection. Whether he compounds it or not, I shall see what he says.
Ray Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 ok you lot, ive never had to clean my car, let alone polish it, but you've made me feel guilty, so ive got a valeter coming on the 8th to give it a good going over so hes going to be hoovering a brand new carpet and mats fitted specially for the show clean and polish the clean paintwork, chrome and vinyl roof yes Stephen, NEC is expensive lol

stephens_xpack Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 I've noticed there is a DeLorean club stand on the floor plan.....cool, although doubt any will be as nice as the one in your family Col.
colr6 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Might be worth a look to see how the club owners cars are.
stephens_xpack Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Take some pictures, show em how it should be done, that should make you some new friends. and thanks Gary - my NEC pack has arrived.

I was watching this older Simpsons episode that reckoned Donald Trump would be president of the United States. I went to bed and had a terrible nightmare that it came true. I was so relived to wake up, can you image what the state the world would be in if such an absurd sitcom script became reality? Boy, those zany Cartoonists have such vivid imaginations. Anyways must go read News International, haven't read a copy in a number of months Ive been working on the Mk2 in all my spare time. Let me put the reading glasses on ........ what the f..........??????!!!!!

Especially if I have to give an appraisal on our cars at the NEC !

stephens_xpack Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 Come on chaps, don't stop - think we have the record for the most forum pages for just one car show..... Reading back through the pages, I reckon at least 7 pages are just us talking utter b0ll0x as well, which is quite funny....
stephens_xpack Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 Scrap that, Tour of the moor 2017 is way ahead on 16 pages. Even we can't talk that much sh1te to compete with that. But considering the small numbers on this show, 9 pages is a mighty fine effort gents.....
Ray Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 its also quite concerning, that this site creates stalkers since this thread started, ive had 2 notifications hat 2 are users are following me
colr6 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Posted October 27, 2017 It's alright Ray, don't be getting all majestic like a peacock showing its feathers. It's only so we can retaliate to your comments quickly.
