Madeira car show Portugal August 2024
By pure chance we walked around a small town on the beautiful Portuguese Island of Madeira and bumped into all these absolutely mint classics. What a pleasure to see them all looking so fresh. Well done to the owners for keeping them in great condition. 🤍🤍

      I think people certainly had more imagination back then if nothing else. I think many cars now have the potential but people have lost the art of using their imagination. That's why it's good to see the cars at this show as people are still building these older cars to display.

He used to show it all the time, then it was off the road for a few years, then he showed it once last year, before I bought it off him in Feb this year. It needs a fair bit or resto work now, as it’s 20 odd years since it was painted! I’ll have a nosy at your other vids.

    First vid I've seen on the show that has a proper, close up look at that peach Corsa B. Remember that from like 2011 Mod Nats or whenever it was. Man, Xquisite used to build some properly sick cars! Still looks fresh today 😎 Purple Corsa C looks pretty sweet as well!

    • @thealchemist638
      @thealchemist638 2 месяца назад

      Nathan has done well to bring the pink Corsa B back from where it was, it was in a bit of a mess stored with windows down so damp had got in etc, only ever did 2 shows back in the day and Modified Nationals was one of them. A shame Xqusite don't produce stuff anymore they were producing some truly epic stuff as you say glad to see a lot more than we think has managed to be saved each year, people dig it back out. The purple Corsa C is owned by a chap called Max and I have to say I really love this build I was always a B man myself so was never a massive C fan but this one is truly done well. Glad you enjoyed.

Fair play to the chap who owns it now for bringing it back to life. Will keep my eye on this channel, best of luck with your own Corsa build (had an arden blue B as my first car so it's always good to see em getting some love). 😎

      @BeanieRob so Nath bought it from a couple of brothers from what i understand. They also have a couple of other projects tucked away. He has really done it justice in restoring it to how it was. He has more plans for it just from a convo we had recently so watch out for it. My Corsa will be hopefully out next year there's still much to do on the exterior and we will build the interior once that's finished but it is something I've tried to share as I know people enjoy a good work in progress.

    • @thealchemist638
      @thealchemist638 3 месяца назад

      No I never had this problem with the static blue coloured DRL units. I now have colour changing ones which allow me to change them so I can pass MOT. My advise here would be to message Autobeam on Facebook and ask if there is a way this can be resolved. Have you tried your standard DRL units back in the vehicle to make sure its not a fault with the vehicle also. Hope you get this sorted.

For the color changing one I see review saying the DRL is barely visible in day as the brightness is fairly weak, seems mostly for night use, are urs too?

    • @thealchemist638
      @thealchemist638 3 месяца назад

      Yeah the colours and white are faint in the day but it was only the effect at night I'm after to go with underglow. If your standard units do it then there has to be a fault with van itself surely. Nothing to do with AB. Use Facebook to message them they always suggest.

I've had a soft spot for an Astra D or Astra G for many years and agree lovely cars. Lots of places finding old moulds and remaking the kits now also the scene is very much coming back. It's just knowing where to look.

      Always a nice edition to a build, as with most I see the throttle cable kinda loops over the top of the engine but have found a way it can be changed to hide that if you do it hit me up I'll put you in touch with a man who can explain it.
