what a fucking cockweasel..

all that water..

surprised to see a bike in his garage, not surprised to see it's a MTB

edscoble · 27th August 2008

I thought "hang on that doesn't look bad, it look like a nice car (if chavvish), but after constant scrolling.. what the fuck? did he spend that much time polishing his car??

granted the end result is beautiful, but in the end..

It's an Astra.

aidan · 27th August 2008

christ! for about two thirds of that i was thinking "ahh well,we fuss over our bikes" by the end i was thinking "prick!"

31t®um · 27th August 2008

can't believe you made me look at that.

edscoble · 27th August 2008

how many time do he have to point out this is the "nurburgring edition'? the logos is everywhere!

BringMeMyFix · 27th August 2008

Wow! What a stunning reception!

What a fucking cunt.

I'm on page 3, he's very dedicated to it, I doubt he drove it properly considering the time he spend on it.

The funny thing is, after all that built, the final shot look slighty different, slighty, fair enough it's a photo and may not look as great, but still, all that time, effort and money to make a car look slighty better?

andyp · 27th August 2008

I've seen some sad fucks in my time but that guy takes some beating. I just read a bit where he says he cleans his car wheels 4 or 5 times a week, taking 90 minutes each time! What a fucktard.

BringMeMyFix · 27th August 2008

I just scrolled quickly through the rest of the first page (which took ages).

The man needs to be taken into care - NOW.

edscoble · 27th August 2008

Finally on page 28 where the owner got 'pwnded'

The funniest thing about this thread is all the people that really believe that the Burg edition is a true track car. Its just laughable really, if it was really designed as a track car do you not think it would be stripped out, would have racing seats not heavy leather seats, it would have massive great big brakes, fully adjustable suspension..... As far as I can tell it has a tuned exhaust, light alloys, 2mm wider track, white paint, chequer strip. Its a nice car no doubt and it will stand out from a standard VXR mainly due to the colour, stripe and the ridiculously loud exhaust. But at the end of the day most of us realise that the ring thing is just a bit of jumping on the bandwagon marketing. Since when does someone have to use a car for what the marketing guys tell us its for, what about all the Range rovers doing the school run? how about all the Evo's round here that are owned by men in their 60's that I am sure have never even hit boost. The lesson here is that people buy a car that they like, not for what other people think of it, or what they should do with it.

GiraffeBoy · 27th August 2008

My favourite part was photo #3478 which shows the 'credits' plaque he was mounting in the car, with "tuning" spelt "tunning". After all that work, it would have made my day if he'd mounted a spelling mistake on his perfect fucking car. Sadly, by photo #5723 he'd corrected it.

Also loved his admission that after the 7th coat of wax, further coats didn't make any difference, but he still did another 40-odd coats anyway. Amazing. Gonna try it tonight on my beater.

edscoble · 27th August 2008

Hah, I just read that all the cabon fibre part are actually fake, and the car is pretty much the same as the normal VXR beside the cosemtic difference.

that's just a cheap limited edition really, I mean even the Fuji Obey bike is more limited edition than that VXR.

I just don't get it.

I would like to write wank in Nitromors across his bonnet.

BringMeMyFix · 27th August 2008

AlexB · 27th August 2008

That guy should see my car, full of dog hairs, sticky sweets stuck on the seat covers, mud all over the trim, scraped paintwork, the odd shopping trolley dent....

justMouse · 27th August 2008

What Tommy said.

Not to our taste, and god knows I wouldn't want to get stuck next to him at a party, but he ain't fiddling with kids or owt.

paul74 · 27th August 2008

Don't get the problem. Dude is trying his hardest and showing attention to detail and finding ways around stuff. Only what half the people on here are trying to do - maybe not to his level but you know...

adoubletap · 27th August 2008

I want to get laid on his behalf.
