Why do people put "excellent" condition, when it so clearly isn't.

This is a nice car, local to me and looked after by the people who maintain my spec c

I've seen it a few times, if i didn't have my spec c I'd be having this.

Couldn't agree more.... that's why my STANDARD 2ltr JDM engine produces 475ftlb of it without any grumbling.

It also hasn't got an oil thirst problem. I don't want to rub salt in the wounds, but it does **** me off that I don't have to touch the oil between services.

What do you use to get it looking that clean?

As soon as I get my new Samco hoses, I'm going to give mine a go.
