Well

After Saturdays trip to the Hull Motor Show we were all ready and prepared to go to donny south (After the trouble with Kates CC we made the sensible swap to the SX )

However nothing can really prepare you for seeing this:



Yes that is 4.18 AM!!!!!!!!!!!! time to get up!

I had packed the car night before and filled with fuel so all we had to do was pack food drink, get dressed and head to the meeting point (Ollerton).

A quick Txt To Clare/Alan and Smithy made sure they were up and still ok to go. (Carl/Cindy/Dave/Helen/Ste/Stacy had already made there way down to stay in a travel lodge)

Here we are at 4.50AM!!!!



The nissan got called Skinny car as it was travelling with Big Cab and the Wide V6 Clio!

a mixture of weather hit us rain then not, rain then not, rain...you get the idea! infact Newth was around 45mins ahead of us and would txt or ring when it was raining...it was always dry where we are..then he would say its stopped...and we would be driving through it!

Eventually got there after a maccies brekki (and smithy trying to burn it down) and waited for the hotelliers to join us!

Set up and cleaned the car..tried to dry it but it rained...and i tie Wrapped clares trophy to the nissan so she couldnt have it



hahaha

Weather wasnt Great..it was on and off rain but it didnt spoil it, we had milkshake and a BBQ and wandered round

Rain made the drifting a lot more exciting too with a few "Offs" i think smithy has some cool close ups!

Our brief Sunshine...



and the Stand...




We managed to shift a load of mags thanks to our sexy promo girls (Snigger)...





Waited till most left and then set off home.





Like that would be the end of the story....just before the A14 - dave and carl had gona ahead i get a phonecall....Alanman....Hi....We have run out of fuel...Doh!

Off i head through the rain buy a can fill it up, chuck a tenner of 97ron in mine to see me home (104.9 a litre!!!!) went back down the motorway and then back up to full it up..again through the rain.

Decided to stop for a coffee so alan could fill up with more fuel stayed about an hour dosed up on red bull and set off again...

Till just before A1....another Phonecall...alanman...I think a driveshaft has gone....Uh Oh

I pulled in to the next services..alan then phoned back saying it was ok to carry on so i decided it would be wise following him - by this time ste had headed off as it was getting on and he needed to be somewhere.

Eventually arrived at Chez Ollie around 9.30

Great show, Great Weekend, Great Cars!

and as usual...My 10 favorite cars from Donny South 2007....

ya aint seen my cossie van project done yet! about 70% done!

get it done mate!

and get up to our LSOM!

quality show, i ended up going m1 and it wasnt too busy, think most of the v festival was on the a1 lol. got home about 7 so not too bad. Had to have morning off, was knackered! will upload pics soon

your txt had us crying smithy...

PMSL

cool.. you got access to the gallery mate?

get it done mate!

and get up to our LSOM!

will do! few months should be about there fingers crossed!booked in to have the rear doors welded shut why im away hopfully!

Bloke at thoresby jap show was telling us rumours of stabbings etc at donny south, anyone who went hear anyhting like this?

no mate nothing like it?

Will have an ask around. Now you have said it a few police came into the show midway through the day...

just googled it...

cant find anything..

what area did the show come under?

Screw that, i wasnt queuing , even if it was a 20 mile detour.

Just been thinking, this was the longest drive ive done in the clio. The 260 miles to a tank wasn't too bad in my opinion!

About stabbings? Didnt see or hear anything of the kind, there were a couple of police cars as olly said but they were hardly in a rush

I did 301 miles from start to finish and just made it on

some sweet cars, specially the pulsar and 350.

can i just ask y the award is taken everywhere with the cab? i think it would get praised alot more if it was looking to be "showing off" (im not saying that it is) i hav just heard people say it
