I rocked up the evening before to have a wander about the camp site. There was a lot of steel there but only my lonely aluminium.

Only one car caught my attention and I know some of us aren't into overt modding but this was tastefully done









Now you have to like that!

I thought about getting the tent out but some youfs had just started playing a popular beat combo recording on their car wireless so I had a tin of beer with the guys next to me that had brought a mint Mk2 GTI in standard trim. Five of them, all their tenting gear, food and beer from Manchester in a Mk2 GTI!

After an hour, the youfs playing a popular beat combo recording on their car wireless were still in the intro so I wander over and asked when the song was going to start! It seems it was already on the 8th track on the long playing recording they had. I couldn't have told you when the music changed it all sounded like an ape on LSD banging a kettle drum with total lack of rhythm to me.

So after another couple of beers and some more chatting with the people around me who didn't speak youf I decided to retreat to the comparative quiet of my double glazed leather armchair where I watched a film on my laptop and turned in for the night. I was never going to be able to sleep outside.................

At 6:30 I arose got out and 'accidentally' set off my car alarm. Managed to shut it of after a few minutes! See how your day goes with only 30 minutes sleep youfs! Muhahahahahaha

Found coffee at the price of a kidney and moved the car over to the water supply to give it a wash. Brought some R.O. water with me from the detailers and it's brilliant. No drying and no water marks. Move to our club stand and started the wait for the lost tribe of Israel. After several phone calls which included an order for a Bacon butty (which I'm still waiting for) it turned out the tribe have got separated during an attack by marauding Persians and they started to straggle in.



Yes it's an RS6 and a D3 driven by 2 Yorkshiremen who forgot to pre-book their tickets so they could have a go at blagging their way in for free. Or so I'm told; I doubt that would be true of Yorkshiremen.

Eventually the remainder showed up trailed by a lonely and lost little mongrel puppy stray called Skoda! I understand though it has a nasty bite and can almost be as fast as a castrated whippet!!!!!

After the ritual exchanging of abuse, there was some intermediate bollox talked and a few lies that improved with several tellings. Then off for more coffee and cake.

A8_Tony then spent the best part of an Ice Age buying a T-Shirt that caused a site wide power surge when it was being designed after taking nearly and eon to transfer from the internet to a PDA to another PDA to a laptop to a printer which jammed and fused the generator. Nice shirt Tony!


For me a wander round the Show and Shine followed and there wasn't much that caught my fancy although I quite liked this matt black puppy...



And I just got a feeler gauge under the front valance


like the colour to.

Just in case you missed them, the buckets were there:





And no meet would be complete without a picture of a flying machine..





A good day out, and great to see the families along. Next year twice as many cars please and we'll go and own the show and shine and the drag strip!
