Well,

Firstly what a scorching Weekend and a perfect day/s for Santa Pod

Started Very early Sat Morning nice slow drive down to Wellingborough met HJ stace and Jess at Tesco and headed off...

Little Irchester...bearing in mind that i had done 65-75 mph all the way conserving fuel...i had 1 small play on a roundabout...in front of a police van..Balls

Managed to end up with ONLY a Section 59 Order for Northamptonshire, a Caution about not displaying my Tax disc and My Small Front Plate - Very lucky!!!

Obviously the big talking point for those there (And those being kept informed on the Txt!!) was Jess Vs the Punto Battle...We all know the outcome..and im drinking Piss. Jess managed a 19.61 compared to my Punto's 19.65...0.04!

My car had done 5 runs in the morning scraping down to a 14.1 then later in the evening as the temp cooled, my track wheels went on and headlight out....up pops a 13.8!

Big Cab also ran and managed a 17.4 on its 17" (and even they were chromes!)

Lots of Jap Cars at the show, the HKS Drag series was brill and the new euro sport compact was just as close!

Major Highlight again was Drifting, TJ and Topo were on full form with lots of other drifters and had a huge crowd all day!

Much improved on last year
Im gonna leave Clare to explain about our new friends, HJ to describe stacy doning a "Meatball" in the dance tent and Alan to explain the farce of Show And Go!

Here are some photos...and of course the Ollie Top 10!

Was a good weekend all in all! Really pleased with my time and gunna try to improve it at USC.

Drifting was good too, shame about the Show 'n' Shine but hopefully the new rules won't stick.

Weather was scorching! Managed to get a bit of a tan and didn't get burnt so all is good!

Don't really wanna mention the whole pole thing so i'll leave that to someone else! lol

One of my favourite quotes of the weekend was: Dave Jeff - "chase me i'm a rainbow"

and.....The Top 10 in no particular order.....

1. Kitted Saxo..Yea may not be the big thing in 08...But looked really Fresh!



2. Martini Scort Coss...Nuff Said!



3. Mantons Civic Just Gets better! Now with Added Lime!



4. Awesome 4WD 10 sec Mk1 Golf in the Euro Compact Series



5. Max Power Stand had this Sweet Honda S2000



6. Another Dub! This Time a quick and polished Mk2!



7. Big Power R33 Liner in Bright Yellow looked the Knackers!



8. ... As Did this Big Power Grey R32 GTR



9. Mint Red/White/Chrome Scooby has done the rounds...but still stands out as flawless



10. Waynes Wide Arch Show Clio is another show regular!

loks like it was a goood weekend and some top cars on show


cant wait for the next one

Here are a few of my pictures...

Strip action

We really enjoyed it, even the farce with the show and go. We'd no chance of winning BEFORE we even turned up with the way they'd set the scoring. There was too much bias towards how fast the cars could go rather than an even split. The Corsa that came first got more points on the strip than we did altogether but taking nothing away from him, the car was split mint too. Second and third place took the piss really and made a mockery of it all, they didnt even make the effort and clean their cars. Because they'd got good time on the track they knew they didnt need to make the effort, park the car in the show and shine and went home with a trophy. We wasted money really taking BigCab© up the strip and definately wasted time and effort swapping the wheels. BigCab© was not built for the strip it was built to look pritty. They should keep both types of modder seperate or at least made it more even.

Even though it wasnt the fastest car of the weekend, BigCab© definately attracted a lot of attention in the show paddock and the camp site as usual and at one point on Sunday there was someone taking pics from all four corners with people queing up to do the same. So who says big kit are not the flavour in '08? All the attention make spending 2 hours cleaning it al;l worth while.

Anyway some more photos of the weekend for ya.

Offset police was NOT happy


Nioce evo complete with baby on board sticker, made me laugh for some reason








Trophy winner in the show and shine with dirty wheels and bumper. pfft. (nice car though)

Very nice


Not not as nice as this.
This is one of main reasons we go to Santa Pod, fuck the cars


Mean as toast


I recon thats for picking up channel 5












5000cc good for a 13.5 and he said it was standard.

BigCab© has made the PTM 2008 gallery on its 18.5 average wheels size. lol.

Even though, allegedly, kitted cars are not the in thing for '08.
