Default Congratulations Darin!

for those that haven't read the SA AFD thread, one of our members, Darin, (fairmont1998) won the EA-EL catergory on sunday.

I'd like to congratulate Darin on his win, he has more than earned it.
some of you may not know (and find it hard to believe lol) that his EL is a daily driver. it is parked in a factory carpark at least 5days a week. he also has two young children. both those factors make it very hard to keep a car as clean, nevermind pristine, as Darins car is.
once again Darin, congratulations, top work bud!

heres a few pics from the day:



the man at work




look at the reflection!

Top effort Darin.
The fact that it sits in the elements equally as long as any of our cars shows how well kept your car is.
There's a tiny scratch on the lower front bumper only flaw i found.
Good to see the judges pulled their heads in and gave your car a decent look this year.

Congrats on your win Darin. Without doubt one of Adelaide's cleanest daily drivers.

ah yes, i forgot to mention, i didn't take the pics.
they came from a CD that had all of John/Krys/Chris/Aaron's photo's from the weekend.

as there are no 'hottie's' in the pics, they can't be Aarons, Chris was driving at the time, (ok, so was Aaron...) so they're either John's or Krys's.

The best part is how close to factory it is for such a sweet machine.
