Running any decent car on regular instead of premium is the ultimate display of tight arse-ness, so tight in the arse they dont even know it. Itll be numb from the clenching...
Im very seriously contemplating getting an electric car soon, when they are built in such a way as is the Telsa is, the performance is so bloody good youll wet your pants when going from 0-100 in 3.7 seconds... I sure as hell wont sh*t my pants, i'll be to tight arsed from never buying petrol for a car again.... |

YES!
...I always term it as having a fine purebred horse and giving it inferior chaff...
And Nifty; believe it or not; there ARE even bigger tight arses than yours, umm, YOU...Seems for some reason, many corvette owners excell at it!
BTW; HOW THE HELL DID WE GET ONTO THIS!?  |

| Because so many Corvette owners choose to barstardise their Corvettes by fitting the wrong parts that are not up to correct specs. That is how we got onto it id say. |

Keep the rubber side down mate
If you feel like a bit of a read, have a look at this link:
http://www.vetteweb.com/features/vemp_0807_1994_chevrolet_corvette/index.html
Ofcourse when i sent the info for that article, i DID mension this forum, but they made up their own sh*t when the article came out, alot of it is not exactly what i said, and some of it is changed around to suit them ( which doesnt bloody work real well ) |

Yeah they do that - called poetic license
I mentioned MAXXWRENCH in my VETTE feature and they never printed it, nor as far as I recall, did they include my "Shine courtesy of Adams car care products"
...I knew your car was feature worthy, which is why I gave Tony your details; he's a great photography isn't he?! :-D |

Good stuff mate - get onto Kim 'Panther' and do yourself a HUGE favor by getting yourself some ADAMS products and keep it that way (or even improve upon what you've so far done!).
I'm glad you're enjoying the new toy! :-D  _________________

Are the adams products really that good!
The the that had mine washed it with sandpaper I think, but Ive buffed and buffed. can you really get rid of swirl?
Also the dash and console are have like an aluminium sort of look, but it has like a white spotty tarnished sort of look, like it has a clear coat that is damaged,....I dont know, I hope you know what Im talking about. Can I bring it back to good? |

Troppo, mate i dont know your name im sorry. Its pretty easy to get rid of swirls, get a clay bar, that should do it. Brasso will get rid of deeper swirls, but id be cautious on that, ive used it on the 94 in the past, but you need to be sure you want to get that physical with it, cause once youre done, youll need to do a finer cut to remove the finer swirls youll put in as you remove the deeper ones.
As far as ordinary C4s at shows, mate ive seen some downright sh*theaps, and ive seen some that hardly run worth a damn when they turn up, and seen a combination of both.
Ive also seen alot of really top notch C4s that were let down by the lazy owner not putting in a full effort on the polishing, vacuuming, and general cleaning.
Being what i was to C4s, i notice almost everything at a quick glance. Some people call it picky, some call it arrogant, some can call it what they like, but C4s are like any other GM car, and they go downhill fast when neglected.
Jesus my neighbours up stairs are noisy barstards....
Adams products are exceptional, i use and prefer Bowden's Own myself, however i know Panther Kim well enough to know he wont put his name to rubish, and his word is good enough for me. When someone's word is good enough for me, it could almost be considered good enough for anyone else too.

Upload them to photobucket, you can create a free account, www.photobucket.com then you need to copy the line under the photo you wish to post, it will be the 1 line of the 3 lines that starts and ends with [img][/img]
The other 2 lines underneath the picture will be for a link to the picture so it wont auto load, and the other i dont remember what it is for without looking at it, but you only need to concern yourself with the link saying "[img][/img]" |
