Well, since you've read all the others already I guess.

Day 1.

After setting off at around 10.45 Saturday morning, I headed on up to Toddington as usual to meet the rest of the crew. Got told in no uncertain terms by Trish to do something really weird for me, and NOT use the outside lane! I was almost incensed by this, but then realised that it was for my own benefit, as there was traffic in the contraflow on the M1 that I wouldn't have been able to make move over fast enough.

Made it to Toddington and thought I'd show the others how best to drive around a car park, and parked up in full outfit.

Drew a good few looks, but I went into the services and used the facilities, whilst scharatz had to ask others to buy him stuff! Total wimp.

Headed off to the Pod down the motorway, but again I wasn't allowed to use the normal lane, had to stick to the inside (mostly) to allow the slower Omega to keep up, I had to let him feel that he was as fast as me. How wrong he really is! :lmao:

When we got to Pod, we drove to what we thought was the normal camping area, but discovered it was a)full and b) mostly a swamp. So we went over the other side of the stip and found an excellent dry area to park up in.

Didn't bring a tent, but set one up anyway, and then helped set another up as I might have been using it later. Finally got a beer (thanks Phil!).

Once we'd all set up camp, the usual amount of banter started, we all had a good look around the Love Bus, and took it for a spin round the field once or twice.. or 15 times. I forget. Most other campers seemed to love it, except some guy who started talking to me whilst I was using the urinal (never start up conversation when you're having a slash, its just not done! Ask Phil all about it.)

Nikki then did some amazing cooking, I had burgers, other people had sausages as well, and the best thing? CHEESE!

More people also showed up at this time. I can't remember really who, but they were cool.

And then... hilarity. Iain L said "ooh, you don't want to be doing that.." and we all looked in his direction. Some idiot had decided it would be a good idea to pour petrol onto a burning barbeque. What happens.. the can catces fire. So the girl holding it just throws it, and it lands against the wheel of a corsa, more petrol is spilt and starts burning a lot. Some people have pissy little watery extinguisers, others try using CO2 ones but hold them far too far away to be of use. Then someone finally decides to push the car away from the source of the fire! KingOfTheKerb rushes to the rescue and uses a proper powder extinguisher to do the job. Corsa had a melted tyre, melted lights and bodywork, and now a white powder coated wheel. I kinda stopped laughing when it transpired that no-one knew who the owner of the Corsa actually was. We found out later, he really didn't look happy...

It turns out you can get at least 22 people in the back of a love bus. Adam and I hung onto the back step, and we went over to the funfair, getting cheers along the way from all the campers we met. Everyone was happy, and when we pulled up, everyone jumped out SWAT-team style, and Ayden, Adam and I got told off by some fat bloke with a moustache as apparently we aren't allowed to hang on the back. Security are allowed to drive round with kids hanging their legs out of the boot though... hmmm.

Went on the dodgems and chickened out of the spinny dizzy ride thing.. no thanks!

When we got back to the campsite later on, Mark and Reverb had showed up, and more cooking took place, as did more beer drinking.

As we chatted away as we do, some more girls turned up! We only had 3 in our camp, and 2 of them were there with their boyfriends anyway...

So this Maria bird, Matt was chatting her up quite nicely, but dumped her cos she cheated on him with Phil and his massive cock. I thought she was a)nuts b)quite ugly c)nice tits though d)really annoying. But I was drunk so only realised d) in the morning.

Eventually it was bedtime, probably around 2am.

TO BE CONTINUED (in the next post)

Day 2. Somewhat eventful...

I woke up at 5.27 and went for a pee. it was an ok peeing experience, could have been better, but not too bad for a sunday morning. On a scale of 1-10, i'd say it was a 6.

Took down the tent I hadn't slept in (apparently I would have been allowed if I owned spongebob pyjamas. But I don't)

Drove around to the stand and had to help settle a bet with the organisers, a couple of the girls didn't think a Cavalier would be enough to tow a BMW in the mud. So I had to pretend to get stuck and Matt and Ayden had to pull me out. They did rather well. (cheers guys).

Since the car was muddy and it was hot, I thought it a good idea to go and get it jetwashed before all the mud dried onto the car. So with Reverb and Nova Junkie (i think) behind, we headed off to Tesco. But oh dear, as I rounded a bend, for some reason a large brick/rock/stone was in the middle of the bumper. Wheels locked up as they were covered in mud, and I hit the stone and it did some damage to my bumper, which put me in a rather bad mood as now I've got to see how much a new one is. Not happy with that!

When we got back, there were a few more people at the stand so I did the walk around, nice to see people again, very sorry to those I didn't get a chance to speak too.

Phil and I went to have a look at the VXR stand, and I quite fancy me one of these...

VXR600 - the Vauxhall version of the Holden Maloo. 600bhp supercharged V8 I believe. Tasty!

Went for more walking around, watched some strip action, kept people entertained. During my walkings, I saw a rather familiar numberplate... which had this sitting under the bonnet:

and looks like this:

Holden HSV GTS-V (or something like that.) Was for sale on AutobahnStormers for something like £20k a few weeks ago, the owner had a bit of chat. I want one...

Did some cooking when we got back to the stand, BBQ bacon sandwiches are so tasty! None of the over-priced crap that made everyone else feel ill for me! I'm a man, I'll cook my own.

Ayden had decided it best to put his van down the strip, so we all went off to watch that, and it was good. The crowd loved it, the van clearly didn't as he wasn't allowed another go due to a water leak.

So, things started to quieten down, cars were packed up, goodbyes were said. Just as we were about to go, the words "JET CAR JET CAR JET CAR" were heard over the tannoy, and we all rushed up the bank to see it (except Nikki, who wasn't bothered. She was really, Nick dragged here up). All day waiting for 6 seconds of noise. The poor toddler in front didn't really enjoy it though.

More goodbyes, and we were off.

Nikki, myself, Nick and Trish & Sy headed off in convoy to the exit! Made it to the exit nearly before we were split up by other cars cutting in front of us. As we left I nearly got hit by a guy in a silver BMW X5 (Morphiuz, do you know him?). I made it nearly all the way, very slowly, to the cross roads at the bottom of the road, when I got a call from Trish. "Alex, can you come back and help Nick".

So I had to turn round and go all the way back to the main gate where Nick and helpfully broken down. Hooked up the towing bar and once again towed him (after doing the same last Wednesday). Got to Wollaston and pulled up, far enough away from Pod not to get in the way of all the traffic coming out, and so that they breakdown people would actually come to us.
This was the scene
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01341.jpg

Nick was told that help would be there within 60 minutes. After 75 minutes, the scene looked like this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01342.jpg

Nick called again, and was told that help would be along in about 15-20 minutes, and that the recovery company would call.

After another 30 minutes, the scene looked like this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01343.jpg

Called AGAIN and were told the guy was 10 minutes away.

15 minutes later, the scene looked like this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01341.jpg
(I know its the same pic as the first one, but the camera went blurry. you get the idea)

Called the driver directly, and he said "I'm 5 minutes away, just in Wellingborough." I knew that was more like 15 minutes away.

20 minutes later, the scene looked like this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01344.jpg

2 minutes later it looked like this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/cavdriver/DSC01345.jpg

About bloody time! Original call was at 16:15, the driver arrived at 18:50. That's a little more than one hour...

So I was back on the road and tired. I eventually got home at about 9.20 pm and was asleep by 10. Still tired today.

All in all, a great weekend, couple of low points, but great to see everyone again, those of you know who I mean when I say you really made it fun.

Look at the Moon!

The calm guy wasn't the owner, it was a mate of his.

The owner was very unhappy, and it showed. It took a few people to calm him down.

No, the owner was a skinny lad in a stripy shirt, not seen any girls kicking off but it may have been his missus.

Oh well, did hear someone kicking off later on but it sounded like a girl's voice :rolleyes:

End of the day, you'd hope that someone would help if it was your own car that was being virtually torched and just think of the damage that could of been caused if it had of gone bang!! We were not that far away from it if it had of.

Wondering what happened to the lad who put the petrol on the BBQ. Should of been booted off the site for that the stupid cnut :shake
