  • Nationals. Wow.

    Ok, so we didnt win any awards. No best club stand, no best car of show. Nothing. But the show still fucking kicked ass! From start to finish there was laughs, tricks and general fun. There wqere one or two down moments, but they were nothing comparted to the complete randomness that happened.

    Ill break it down for you so you can see how it all took place.

    Friday. We set off and went thru my little schedulem below down to the last minute, we were runing like clockwork, and managed to get to the convoy point in plenty of time. We set off on one of ollies (random) journeys, heading thru melton mobrey and SERIOUSLY clogging it up.. there were camera phones all over the place – they didnt know what hit them!

    We finally got to the camp site, and drinking etc started straight away. We took the cars round to the stand about 2/3pm and then got back to the camp site for some hardcoreness.

    The night got messier and messier, and i got to know some of my maxxd buddies a whole heap better! Including wardo, who was THE MAN all weekend!! I think the first night was a good night, but i crashed about 12/1ish as i was starting to get real tired.

    I was rudely awoken by loud sterios and revving engines, but couldnt be arsed to move as it felt like it was cold outside and i was really warm in bed. It turned out to be gorgeous outside, clear skies, hot sun and nothing to do all day but sit and get sunburnt! wooo!

    The day dragged on, i blared scotts stereo out all day – he’d of been proud! And the night started approaching. We locked the cars up and headed back to the campsite. This is where the ngiht started gettin real interesting. Me wardo and mase and a few others i cant remem,ber who stayed up all night visiting peoples campsites, judging fires, following flashing lights, putting camp beds on low-loaders and lifting them vertical with people trying to sleep on them (ahahah).

    We even did some parkour on the steps leading down from the showground, it was ace. I have many many photos from the event ill link to them at the end of the entry.

    The sunday was a lot steadier. Everyone was really ruff after the night before, and it was really starting to show. A few cars that were with us the day before went home, why? I dont know. The amount of half dressed SEXY women at that show meant if any males left before we were kicked out then they must of been GAY.

    The sundays antics also included the Fuel guys getting booted off the show for holding “an illegal rave” right next to our campsite. It was mad, the security and fuel staff started fighting and everyhting! I managed to get a few pics of the securty surrounding the fuel stand and a quick snap of the kermotion that was happeneing when fists were thrown.

    All in all it was madness from start to finish.

    Ill end it with a few random sentances that will be very meaningfull to anyone reading this that went to nationals.

  • Gallery2

    I have a G2 installation on olstar.co.uk, and i try and keep it updated. I went to install a cool new theme today, and it highlighted that one or two parts of my G2 installation may be out of date, so i did what i normally did to upgrade G2, but it gave me a shit load of errors. I googled the errors and i found a site that told me to backup/rename the config.php and the g2data folder, and delete everything else, then re-upload the files and un-re-name them two files. Run the site and the upgrade wizard should start.

    Hopefully once this frickin FTP program has caught up with itsself i can have my gallery back! Go on the menalto site, and there is a heap of free user submitted themes. 🙂 Im gonna use the nature one if  can get it to work 🙂

  • Long Weekend Again V2

    Yes, one of the remaining bank holiday weekends for this year has passed. Only one more oppertunity to have two sunday dinners in a row. Its so unfair, why cant every other weekend be a bank holiday. Im sure there wouldnt be a (sane) sole in the country who would disagree with me.

    Managed to get a new steering coloum on the clio, but in the process of doing that we broke the key, which left us unable to remove the ignition barrel from the old coloum, and put it in the new one. My wonderful father is off tomorrow to get me a key cut. God damm that guy rocks! 🙂 The sunroof i bought was way too small, its not even the same shape – so im gonna ring them up and tell them it was wrong tomorrow – as its in the boot of my clio which is immobilized at scotts house. So i should be able to get that on wednesday, which means i might not make it to the wednesday meet, but i have to as i gotta collect clothes. Which reminds me, i must get myself something made up!

    I have a busy week leading up to the nationals, i just hope i dont have any problems in sorting everything i need out for the trip.

    I should sleep now, i got to walk to work tomorrow and im really no good at waking up in the mornings.
