Christmas could have been...oh so different if.....

Classic Clarkson Quotes... 'I'm sorry, but having a DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch.' '... the last time someone was as wrong as you, was when a politician stepped off an aeroplane in 1939 waving a piece of paper in the air saying there will be no war with Germany ' Illustrating the lack of power of a Boxster: 'It couldn't pull a greased stick out of a pig's bottom' On the Vauxhall Vectra VXR: 'there is a word to describe this car: it begins with 's' and ends with 't' and it isn't soot 'The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite' 'The air conditioning in a Lambos used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw.' 'Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what... BEING STABBED?' 'This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that's much to shout about. That's like saying 'Ooh good I've got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases.'' 'I don't understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?' Clarkson's highway code on cyclists: 'Trespassers in the motorcars domain, they do not pay road tax and therefore have no right to be on the road, some of them even believe they are going fast enough to not be an obstruction. Run them down to prove them wrong.' 'Britain's nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe...probably because they don't have wheel-chair access.' On Mandela's claim that Cuba is a good advert for democracy: 'Well Mr Mandela why don't you go and ask one of the 12 year old Cuban prostitutes which way her parents voted?' 'Now we get quite a lot of complaints that we don't feature enough affordable cars on the show......so we'll kick off tonight with the cheapest Ferrari of them all!' On the Lotus Elise: 'This car is more fun than the entire French air force crashing into a firework factory.' 'Sure it's quiet, for a diesel. But that's like being well-behaved... for a murderer.' 'I don't often agree with the RSPCA as I believe it is an animal's duty to be on my plate at supper time.' 'There are footballers wives that would be happy with this quality of stitching... on their face.' 'Much more of a hoot to drive than you might imagine. Think of it if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under her tweed pants. I do, and it helps.' 'You cannot have this car with a diesel. It's like saying, I won't go to Stringfellows tonight, I'll get my mum to give me a lapdance, she's a woman!' 'Tonight, the new Viper, which is the American equivalent of a sportscar... in the same way, I guess, that George Bush is the equivalent of a President.' On the Porsche Cayenne: 'Honestly, I have seen more attractive gangrenous wounds than this.. It has the sex appeal of a camel with gingivitis.'

credit crunch...what credit crunch....more power to yir elbow!

Got to agree with Wilky here, i've got a city-car that get's me to work and back....and blah blah journey's. It's the journey's in the subaru thereafter that make me realize what a cracking/special car it is, certainly not boring and one of the best bangs for your buck you'll get. Stephen........weddings don't have to cost the earth!

Your getting your money's worth out of that Gazebo Mike!

Right next door to 'Hypertech'

NY08

Johnny, This is totally irresponsible , shocked, how am i going to eat my rice krispies in the morning knowing full well this kind of behaviour is going on!

Williams Powdercoating - behind Falkirk College - costs about £140 for 4 wheels refurbished.

And may i add an apology to Neil for my outbust on requesting a sticker after the event, when quite rightly he more than deserved one having designed it. sorry Neil. Craig.

This must have been a long time ago! Back when you kept the cars clean!......and how clean is that driveway!!!!

Bonding would be fine if prepped properly.

Detailing: Correction of paint defects, rebuilding layers of protection and cleaning things to make them look as good as they possibly can.. using various different methods and tools for the job. Time taken 3-4hrs+. Grant, This was a marathon, 8am start............6PM Finish......10 hours with about 1 hour loss due to rain/lunch break. When Mike told me it took 2 hours just to pack his car ! I then had some sort of idea what the car was in for. An education would be an under-statement, with what went on, i'm still bamboozled with what products and in what process went on . I thought as many have mentioned that the old girl was quite clean but had quite a few problem areas. Like a man possessed the guauntlet was thrown down , the challenge was on! Dedication, enthusiasum and commitment......over and over...........and let's go over it again!.......10 frigging hours of it! Outside and inside (which now smells edable...marzipan) because someone cares about his workmanship! A rare commodity these days, something i can / would take my hat off to, if i wore one! Chuffed isn't the word....Amazed. Craig.

I'm sure i set the (rears ) 340mm from the centre of the alloy wheel to the top of the wheelarch. ( fronts) 330mm from the centre of the alloy wheel to the top of the wheelarch. nice wagon craig.

Well done Archie on getting through your first season racing, and a mighty fine write-up of the season too. I think you may well have a shout for this years 'Booker Prize' !

There was a nice replica version of the Audi short wheelbase at Doune at the weekend up from englandshire, but couldn't handle the hill, producing mid 50's. Looked the biz though!

Big thumbs up from me, especially the mud-flaps, need to get you to sort out mine sometime. craig.

yip got to agree with stephen, the black and white mini shot looks great.

Can't believe we sat on that hillside and you never cracked a light!
