Comfirms my own experience JD. AF simply took too long for me and didn't remove as much IX. Still the champ.

I still think at cost and how it performs, nothing touches megs. I also love glossy tyres. Pinnacle and Blackfire are that step above but not enough to justify the cost.

Excellent mate. Would be a pleasure to work on it again, could probably be doing with another little enhancement after that long. Especially in this country! Ally and Gaz looked after it very very well. I can vouch for that, was gutted when Gaz told me he sold it. Wanted it myself! :o

Not they don't.

Difficult one for me but as a pure all-rounder the TT was hard to beat. I remember coming home from a Celtic game late at night, pissing down with rain, freezing. Missus fell asleep, heated seats and climate on, bose on. Don't think I had to change gear all the way home, effortless passing...

Stunning spec of Monaco mate. One of my favourite colours on the mk2. Suits the shape so so well. Want!

Strange comparison but none the less.

Add in to the fact at just how complicated those/that DSG box is in comparison to a simple manual box it's a terrible comparison! I'd hazard more 197/200 boxes have failed than that particular DSG box!

Cost wise you'd be mad to swap a 182 for track to a 197. Great if you're using it daily though. Consumables though... £££

I remember you being quite excited about the car Dan. Funny how things can change.

Fair points guys. I'd love an Albi Blue one. Amazing colour in the flesh. The gearboxes also scare me as mentioned.

They are great value. They just come across as very expensive to run! Tax, insurance and Mpg is shocking. Running costs of a much more higher grade car imo.

Just a formality with Nick's write ups mate. Look at 99% of them, Iron X etc. I've done it myself.

I would stick with Nick at CD. He's a nice guy into the bargain. Here's an idea of his work... http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=301542

Bingo, don't let the dealer touch it. Get the detailer to inspect the car upon delivery off the transporter. If he's worth his salt and money he'll do it properly. Clean Detail are pretty good. What area is the dealer Stevo? I'll find you a detailer.

Side profile again looks superb. The front and back are poor. Those anthracite bits annoy me more and more everytime I see them.

Jesus Christ!!!!

Lols. Just generally to see out the back? It was more said in jest but they are horrific. Love the Fn2 though.

Errrr because race driver Mark!

Lovely Pete. Definitely the best choice. Even if it has zero rear view!

Re: Utterly Filthy Zed.. Last clean of the year: Lovely Rob. I'm guessing it's staying for a bit then?

My mate got gifted 175m last night. Sadly i've not been so lucky! :( I'd like to know how they do it!

Well you use a machine. Ie what MOT testers etc use. It's not a big deal aslong as they're level and not pointing to the sky.

A lot of people don't realise how easy xenon lamps can be "beam set".

The R26 looks superb in GW and LY. Sadly they are not Megane running costs!

Perfect mate. Glad my keen eye still works. :o The paint is that soft you'll do it well in no time. Just take it easy on the claying.

Your idea sounds perfect. Certainly a wax you will love. Samples are great but the texture changes and nothing beats a nice SW pot.

Always a soft spot for a DC5. Is the paintwork dull? Looks like it needs a bit of detailing? Just the first picture looks like it's lacking some gloss which is unlike CW.

Never change your name or Avatar. ;) Would you ever afford to go there again Dave? It's a properly special colour. Paul's LY corrected and wearing BOS is by far the glossiest LY i've ever seen.

CTR is very nice mate. It's also a very tricky category. Sorta in the middle. I'd be tempted to look at Carbon. You'll get a full pot and a great boutique feel.
