But then more people know which cars he's talking about.
If he just said 'My car' people might not know straight away.

Good job a lot of cars are being made using steel and plastic now because a higher grade of quality is required as anyone can stick on a bodykit onto thier cars these days.

Didn't a TB 1.6 Corsa win PVS last year, cream leather etc? Total showcar, but only had a GSi kit?
Quality, not quantity 
So have they all dissapeared then?
My car. It'll be done by trax.

Why is it Pointless? Or even Stupid?
I have spent alot of money on both my Corsa and I have never regretted spending any money on them. My mates can go out and spend in a weekend £100 on beer and about £30 on fag in the week NOW thats stupid and pointless.
At least i have somthing to show for my money and long term enjoyment.
If i was to buy a 100k lambo i would still spend money putting my own touches on it, is that pointless/stupid?
As for the tital of the post 
B20RDY has been around a while now.
Maybe the New Corsa BUT i wouldent class that as a show car, more a Track/Drag etc car
*Edited - moved abit fast this post i was replying to peoples comments 400 posts ago *

Agree with Beardo, I spent money on beer at 18-25, but i still done ym car, and enjoyed both an active social life with friends and fellow Corsa owners.
Agreed, if i won the lottery, i'd finish both cars off still.
So BEardys is about still, Donnas is about still, C13 dissapeared (loking worse for wear 3 years ago odd), C4 was broken up, C7 was crushed, C3 was stripped, Stu Smiths old car was bought by some guy, saw a few pictures then never heard of it again.

Stu's was for sale on here not long ago, don't know where it went.
PainZ split his car too IIRC (If you class that as show, which I would)
Matt H has a normal car now, not the blue one or the first silver one.
Erm, Tomnova16s will be showy I think (ask ed)
SteveW split Thundercorsa, Jambo hasn't got his LET and it's vanished.
Fear's car has disappeared too.
Ash Warner's is still about.
That's about it really

Painz was a great C example. As was that baby blue coloured on. Simple, but effective.
Fears car, yeah, thats dissapeared too?

Sold it to a guy off here, he put it up the arse of a taxi 2 weeks later and dont know whats happened to it now!
about 6 months down the line it was still not repaired and stored somewhere that was a year ago now, the guy never replied to emails or u2us or MSN after that so i dont know what happened to it 
i would buy it back now if i knew where it was!
