You may well take the piss, but simple fact is he's made a name for himself as a detailer, and will continue to do so based on his attention to detail.
What would you rather, a person who drives a clapped out old van that he clearly couldn't give a shite about, or a lad who takes it maybe a little too far occasionally...? I know who I'd spend my money with.
Totally agree mate. It's pretty cool in a troll kind of way. He's the guy detailing hyper cars and clearly rolling in cash, so who has the last laugh eh? However, it's only natural that it'll attract a lot of piss taking. I'm sure he expects it, and doesn't care. Nor should he. It's probably all part of a very clever plan.
