I'm working 70hrs a week this week. Sadly that's not an unusual occurrence in my line of work. I do get paid well for it, but it doesn't leave much time to modify. I do the odd things myself (changed the light bulbs myself today for example) and I'd fit seats myself and things - but when it comes to mechanicals or paint I will give it to a specialist, and pay up.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and tbh the "scene " is all about aspirational cars and those with deeper pockets build more desirable cars. I'm not saying that's 100% the case, but more often than not.

I don't lament the scene for it. I do however hate trailer queens. I love my car but at the moment it's filthy, needs a good hoover and some centre caps. It's a car and I use it as one

PVW by any chance?

My lupo had more graft and thought than some of the cars that graced the pages. Shame really, after looking on here there is some seriously worthy metal...

But I suppose if you dont have stretch, stupidly low and dont give decent reach arounds you wont get in.

If the car isnt unique why should it be in a mag? Lets face it, car tuning these days is everyone doing the same thing.

I agree.  :happy2:  first off PVW is a bit clique, but thats not why your car wont be selected. their features are based on what sells the most magazines and people want to see the latest trends, massive spec and no budget limits. Thats just life.  :happy2: if you look on here in the members rides, there are hundreds of good builds all pretty much the same but the ones that get the most comments are like Jonny C's or Hurdy's who go a bit mental and only stop at destruction or the next project.  :laugh:
PVW have to put in their mag what sells, simplez.  :happy2:
