Like said make sure your car is prepped for it, so if its not been done already clay, polish and even a glaze woudl really make the wax do wonders. A good glaze for your car being red again which i have just ordered is Clearkote Red Moose Glaze 8)

Good man :thumb right:

Nicely edited :wink: Dicklesic :lol::lol: *waits for someone to remove the 'IC' from the end* :roll: :lol:

Yeah the Victoria wax is very highly rated, its even rated as being asgood as the Swissvax waxes which cost a LOT more. Like Jims this would work really well on your car being red. I would invest in some :wink:

Jim i would definately invest in some of the Victoria Concours wax as its really well suited for red cars (being red itself :lol:) so on yours would look superb. You would need a fully prepped car though else its a waste of wax so a good machine polish would help :wink: :lol:

Yep i got a few funny looks, luckily where i live is quite private and we share with 3 other houses so its not too bad but they still give funny looks. Its applied by bare hand so you can warm the wax up in your hands and apply it very thinly. The really expensive waxes such as Zymol Royale isnt actually a wax when its in the tub, its an enzyme and you have to warm it up with your hands which combined with the air acts as a catalyst and turns it into a wax!! Geeky i know but thats how it is :lol:

Dont you mean 700bhp??? :wink: :lol: The GP bikes are 250bhp from 800cc engines naturally aspirated so a 1.3 hayabusa engine with a huge turbo should kick out some serious power!!!

Sad sad day :( i cant imagine how gutting it must be letting someone drive off in your corrado :( But it sounds like its gone to a good home which is a good thing :D he got a truly awesome car so i bet he's grining from ear to ear :D Rob.

Looks amazing Darren, fantastic finish 8) Same here: Just done a little tester and its fantastic on my blackberry!!

:lol: I will get some shine-off pics tomorrow night after my new wax is applied by bare hands 8) (actually thats not the appropriate face as it can be considered geeky rather than cool :lol:)

A20 LEE, Awesome reflections on the Audi mate!! VAG paint is superb, after a good detail the reflections are so crisp! Here's a good reflection shot of my rado's roof 8)

Ditto!

Yeah i know!!! It was in a bad state really for such a good car! I hope they taught the owner how to wash it properly after that!

Its not just an astra this time!! http://www.vxronline.co.uk/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=4618 The more you look at these cars the better they look, the more you read about them the more TOTALLY ASTONISHED you are at how such a car can be made! I think Clarkson was right in saying this is the best car ever made and possibly the best that will be made for a long time to come! Enjoy 8)

Looks sexual Bally 8) liking the mk2 as well, very hard looking!

Well im crazy enough to think about supercharging my corrado and paying the insurance, im sure a bit more wont hurt when im earning better :lol:

Also to add to my plan, once finished my degree and am in a job i plan to do an evening mechanics course so i can do most work myself on both cars, as at the minute i get so depressed that i know in theory how to do most jobs mechanically but when it comes to actually doing something i dont know where to start :cry: I actually wanted to do a night course this summer which i might find out about, but not at the minute as i have coursework etc to be doing but once my placement is officially over which is end of May i will be free until October. Maybe a beginners course this summer and then a more advanced one after my degree :D

Nice one, i will have a wee read on that site now :D

Ahh well, i didnt know that, still its not going to cost much to tax one anyway!

:lol: there will still be upgrades to the C when at uni if money allows as im staying at home and commuting sharing lifts with a mate in his diseasel. Only need to detail a few cars or make a website and that would pay for some tasty mods 8)

Well i wouldnt care how quick it is as i would have the corrado for speed (which hopefully by then will be charged so LOTS of speed :twisted:) it will just be basically for the shell etc and over time (im talking quite a bit of time here!) will gradually do up and then drop the vr lump in and then it will be plenty fast :D I was also thinking of just getting something completely crap that i wouldnt care about and agree it would make me appreciate the C more, but lets face it an old mk1 with manual steering and no luxuries at all etc is going to make me appreciate driving the C as well but i can still admire the looks to a certain extent and also stay old school VAG :D

I was thinking the same thing, people know now that mk1's are a sought after car and whack the prices up so it will be hard to find one where as i could walk down the road and find a nice cheap mk2 (or just buy my sisters when she's finished with it :lol:) and if all else fails i might just go for a mk2 BUT i much prefer the mk1 to the mk2 and if i search around i could possibly find a bargain ... anyone see last months PVW??? :wink: A guy found possibly the mintest most original mk1 which some old bint owned and he got it for pennies so its possible :wink:

Yeah im doing a degree in Computer Science but i specialise in web based programming which is what im doing at the moment and will continue to do when im finished the degree. So it pays quite nicely, plus doing some private websites and a bit of car detailing in my spare time for extra cash to add something to the cars :D

Hi guys, I am starting to think about my situation for when i go back to uni in October this year. I am keeping the C even if it means locking it up in the garage and declaring it SORN its staying end of!! Which i shouldnt need to do because my insurance id due end of August which i shall save up for over the summer and pay off the full year which will mean not having to wrry about it during my time at uni, i just need to top the tax up and occassionally put some V-Power in it. So my plan is to still be able to use the C at weekends but get a little cheapy shed to use for uni and back and general driving. So i was cruising around in the C a lunchtime with the windows down as its such a nice day and i spot a lovely little Mk1 Golf come past and i have a big soft spot for the mk1 and that got me thinking, what about a little small engined cheap to run mk1 golf, with no tax if get one old enough and classic car insurance so cheapy cheap cheap :D That way i can stay in the dub scene and own 2 of my fav cars both with tons of personality. I would look for a golf that running wise is superb but is maybe a bit of a state body wise which i could clean up. So that would sort me out for uni, a cheap mk1 golf for daily and the beast Corrado VR6 for playing with at weekends and nice days when i have a bit of money in my pocket. But what about when i finish uni??? Well that got me thinking some more :wink: Here's my plan for after uni: Get back working in a high paying job as i would then have my degree etc. Get the corrado back out as my daily and then put the golf away in the garage and gradually get looking pretty and driving nicely etc. THEN stick the VR lump from the corrado into the golf and put a nice shiny R32 or 24v etc lump in the corrado making it more reliable for a daily driver and making the golf a pure show car!! :twisted: So thats my plan, now i just want to know what people think :D and also any advice on mk1 golfs as well as i dont know much about them, im guessing its a cheap option? And there's not a lot to them to go wrong etc?? Cheers, Rob.

Thats would be great Nath thanks a lot :D
