He's got a car that's one of only 835 in the world -- that's not a typical Astra to start, not even a typical VXR.

Put it another way -- that setup, from the factory, will have a better power-to-weight ratio than a Mk IV Supra, and will probably handle better. It certainly offers more power than you'd find in a GT4 or All-trac.

This is a testament to detail and quality workmanship. As for the time and cost, he's rather obviously sponsored -- and anybody who's that dedicated will have done the work to make himself a financial success as well.

Sheepskin drumstick -- a cylinder, usually a hard sponge, wrapped in sheepskin (meaning genuine wool still on the leather). Sheep wool is preferred for cleaning because it pulls particles inside the fibres rather than dragging them along the surface (scratching the paint) as would a sponge, and because it rinses easily.

It's odd reading this as I'm in the midst of my all-out exterior detailing; just finished the wash-claybar-wipedown-wash stage. I still have to go through the polish and waxing stages. He's a hell of a lot better than I am, that's for sure; I wouldn't dream of trying to polish a car with a rotary, my random-orbital's enough for me.

The water's purified to prevent mineral deposits from forming as it evaporates. Rain + mountains usually means your water supply is soft and relatively mineral free, but most water supplies are pretty mineral-laden.
