A lot of it is down to $$ and you seem to have unlimited wealth to throw at your cars! I doubt your average zoner has tens of thousands to turn their chariots into one-off specials even if they wanted to.

datourer i work all week in Italy, then i catch a flight at 4 on a Friday afternoon, land at Heathrow at about 5.30, then i rush off home, shower, then i'm off to work again on the door till the early hours of the morning. I work again Saturday evening and then i'm back again to Italy on Sunday ready to repeat the process. I do this because i like nice things on my car and they cost money, so i sacrifice my social life for it whilst most of the Zone probably go out and socialise so i dont have it easy like most of the Zone thinks mate. I even lost the love of my life cause i was working so hard i hardly ever saw her. It's all a trade off between trying to work and get the things you want or doing enough to pay the bills, then going out with your mates to enjoy yourself :wink: :D

As for it being down to $$..yes in some cases thats true but the $$ still gotta be earned..

We dont just do show cars y'know..everyday we have your average youngster with big dreams coming round that doesnt have the $$ to do everything in one hit..so its little touches that they start off with..A hand made gaitor..handbreak cover..custom gear knob..then onto a hand designed wheel..then fronts..then rears and so on..it takes time but we love customers like this..
It shows dedication and a passion for what they are doing and we are totally supportive of these people..
We all have different ideas as to what we spend our $$ on..
Some choose to piss it up the wall others choose to modify their cars..
Its all about personal choice..
If you work hard play hard whats the harm..
