best thing to do with the show and shine is shove it for the day. i meanit in a nice sense.
I started goin to mini shows over here and realising that to win the show and shine catagory in 2001 $28000 was spent on the car that won the best on display
2002 $48000
2003 $52000
2004 Im not sure but plenty im sure
2005 $64000
i mean waht the hell is it going to take to win it next year its pathetic and most people wont got to a show and shine cos they can even get close to competing with that sort of car so the attitude is wahts the point of going.

My attidue is take out the politics and take away the huge dollar cars and put every one on a level playing field and have a tug of war and a whole load of fun and see if people enjoy it more? ill guarantee they do.

but thats what im saying, i mean dont take away the credit of waht the cars are but to compete you need to put money into it.
Now days its easier not to show up that t compete against all the big time trophy hunters knowing your going to lose cos in everyones eyes there car is the best and why do we need someone elses approval to tell us that.

enjoy the car for what it is and not waht everyone else thinks it should be.
