Er, you seem to be missing the point. It's just a car. Given the fact that he owns it, does that not give him the right to do as he sees fit?

Same with mine. If i want to cut away the arches to get a ridiculous offset I will. If the shell's ruined in 6 months then fine, again, it's just a car. Neither Craig nor myself are doing anything to the cars to seek approval from anyone, that's the difference. We're just two guys f*cking around with our cars how we see fit, the fact I have a project thread is for me to document work done to the car, not to gauge reaction.

To put it in perspective, there was talk of a couple of shoots of my car this year if i tidied a few bits up. Whilst that would have been great to get the car shared about, I care little for public opinion. That's why i've just ordered a load of paint and taking it in a completely different direction. These magazines may well not want to know it any more, but that's their call.

Craig's happy bouncing around in his cab, scraping everywhere and ruining the drive. The car is heading in a direction he wants to take it, after spending years loving the car and caring for it he's reached the same point as me. f*ck it, it's only metal. Shiny bits can be transferred over to a new car, or sold on to make money back.

The game's no longer about having a tidy car. It's about having YOUR car and doing what you want with it. If that's not to your tastes then i'm sorry to hear that, but it's only you with the problem at the end of the day.

Sorry for the rant, nothing personal, but this whole "seeking approval" bullshit is exactly that. Bullshit. Read any of the proper stance webzines and you'll see these kind of people are very humble in the way they go about things...
