    The standard is always raised by someone, sure Andy has cars he aspires to.
    Absolutely stunning though, Gav yours can have plenty of attention while you drove the van!
    Mine will never be as mint, mine is a daily dirty slag... That gets filed full of used washing machine/dryers, dishwashers & old kitchens as it did today.
    Your safe north wales rivals will never be as pukka.

    To the eagle eyed you are correct it is indeed my car. As already said you don't give yourself enough credit Gav your car is far better than you believe, as I said to you earlier it's got to be one of the best remaining 855 T5's in the country and well worth your continued attention, and with that attention I am confident it can only get even better. Less of the best R bit though as I am sure there are better, that said I think it did clean up well for the shots
    Just like the dyno Gav done he needs to get a trophy of some kind for the car look to believe she looks great

    He wasn't I picked the car up yesterday and then drove it over to Harwich to surprise him today after I'd cleaned it, he was the first to find out I had collected it

    lmao, fair play Gav, you got me there

    Still looking for that door for you mate. I couldn't find anything else wrong with your motor (other than what Mrs. Gav did to the front end), proper credit to you. Especially considering you've done most of it by hand!

    and another vote goes to Gav for the credit he deserves, see Mr. G it really is better than you think

    Have the say Martin your car is also a credit to you, for me I think you've done a fantastic job with it.

    I think we're all far to critiacl of our cars. The problem is, we know the car inside and out. Knowing all the little niggles without looking at the bigger picture.

    It wasn't till i looked at the pictures from the Ace Cafe meet that I realised just how far the sweed has come.

    Some truth there, I think at times we can indeed be over critical of our own but then if we weren't we'd probably all own wrecks or worse a Starlet
