Noticed a Corsa entered in this month's Ultimate Finish competition; car with the most votes gets £150 worth of car cleaning stuff. The power of CS helped me out around 2012 and I got a free dual action machine polisher.  Now it's time for me to pay it forward...
Please give this guy a vote as a fellow Corsa-er:
http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Competition/Entry.aspx?EntryId=2382
For some reason the Ultimate Finish site has borked his photos; I found these better quality ones on the Performance Vauxhall Show website:
It's been pointed out that 3 of the top 5 cars are all pretty new - one of them was only delivered in March FFS - and the owner of the car that's currently in the lead, lists in his detailing kit a complete set of Gtechniq products (which are incredibly expensive, for those not in the know) as well as a set of buckets that cost £40:
I don't know either of them, but this Range Rover guy clearly isn't going to benefit from £150 worth of free detailing goodies; if you can afford to buy a year-old Range Rover you don't need any free stuff, the cheeky rascal.
By contrast, the guy with the 10-year-old Corsa buys his wax in £6 pots and uses more reasonably-priced products from the likes of Autoglym:
I would like to see the guy with the Corsa win because I genuinely think he would appreciate winning more than Range Rover guy.

Done, but I doubt it'll pass moderation 
Btw, it's because of you that I keep getting bloody newsletters from that company.

Sorry about that fella - there is an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every mail they send out. It's all done through MailChimp so I'm confident unsubscribe actually means unsubscribe!

Yeah I must not have noticed that first time round
Still, worth it if you get a free machine polisher!

Why do you think people who drive range rovers are cunts ? By far better looking than the one your trying to fix to win.

I don't think people who drive Range Rovers are cunts. I just don't think this one needs this win. For the following reasons:
1. People who drive huge off-road vehicles with no intention of ever driving anywhere other than on a road get on my tits. People who polish their off-road vehicles, doubly so.
2. This particular guy can clearly afford to buy his own array of expensive detailing goodies (as he's already spent a fortune on GTechniq stuff that's like £30 for 10ml).
I reckon that winning would mean a lot more to the guy just trying to look after his 10-year-old Corsa with standard issue Autoglym / Poorboys products than it would Mr. "Look at my year-old Range Rover" and his top-of-the-range GTechniq arsenal.

Cheers, dude - although it's not for me; it's just a random act of kindness to whoever this Ben Hambling fellow is.

Range rovers are hardly ever driven off road nowadays. I see so many around here now, all shiny.
Doesn't bother me though, I quite like seeing a nice clean sport. The evoque has the ability to off road rather well, but it's not really bought for that.

Can't wait until I can have a FFRR and never take it off road

Need to spread this act of kindness a bit further a field, as the RR is starting to pull in the votes

Just bothered looking and seen it's only an evoque, that doesn't mean you don't deserve free stuff

We're talking about a guy who spent £40 on buckets.

I agree now, anyone who spends £40 on buckets is a moron.

What a weird thread, for all we know the guy driving the RR could be a fucking saint. The jealousy in the air is palpable.

I don't disagree, but this isn't Range Rover Sport, it's Corsa Sport - so I'm suggesting we root for the guy with the Corsa.

I'm not saying voting for a car in a competition like this is weird, I'm saying the whole tone of the first post and the title made it seem like it's simply to get it up the Range owner. The reasons you list for him not deserving it are laughable and sound like the rantings of someone deranged. He spent £40 on a bucket? You're acting like that makes him a bad person.
If I had the cash to buy a year old Range Rover and buy £40 buckets I'd pity the guy who despises me for it.

The primary goal was to do something nice for a Corsa owner, I don't know why you would choose to spoil this just because you dislike the tone of my first post.

The notion that I ever suggested he didn't deserve it is laughable; I've merely put forward my opinion that a £150 win for the Corsa owner would be more meaningful - I'm not sure why you have an issue with this.

I don't think he's a bad person. I do think he's a dickhead. Any of us could spend £40 on buckets, but we don't. Because we're not dickheads.

Forty fucking English pounds on fucking buckets? Yep, the guy is clearly chief nobhead in the moron brigade.
What do they do that a £1 black bucket with a grid guard doesn't?
