Sorry for the non car relatedness of it but I'm starting to re love Zappa big time.

Yup, it's called the Northern Lights ( ), it's just opposite the town hall, near Dr.Brightons. Chap who runs it is a top bloke, food is amazing.http://www.northernlightsbrighton.co.uk//plug

Weird coincidence-My mates bird is Finnish, we all went and stayed in a cabin in Finland for new years, it was great.While I was there I discovered Hartwells Gin and Grapefruit long drink which they sell on tap in bars. Lovely stuff.Anyway, I found the only places that sell it in Britain are in Brighton (northern lights) and London. I am over in Hastings so I'm already planning a trip over to that bar soon!

In an effort to illustrate the current big news story, BBC news showed a picture the other night of Brown, Cameron and Clegg, all looking suitably serious, with the caption 'Hung Parliament'. I thought this looked like an advert for the most solemn, depressing and weird porn film ever made.Maybe I just need to get out more...

Quintus ! The randomness of Autoshite !Love It

I find that the Finbarr Saunders portion of my brain often takes over at the most inappropriate moments. Sometimes it's the only way to get through the day!

I hardly ever have really vivid, surreal dreams any more - they're either too vague to recall, or depressingly dull and lifelike.Last night, for reasons unknown, I had a utterly legendary one, involving a road-trip to a car show along motorways that had inexplicably been re-surfaced as dirt-racing tracks. On the way, we stopped at my parents' local newsagents, and on the shelf was... wait for it... Issue number 1 of a new, home-printed retro car magazine entitled "DeathTrap", with a mint 2cv van emblazoned on the cover. I remember feeling utter delight at having found one, and didn't think twice about handing over around £8.50 for it. Inside were mainly photo-copied sheets of the editor's inane ramblings about various shite.Is my subconscious trying to point me towards a whole new avenue of creative talent? Or should I just watch my dairy intake before bed?

[dollywobbler]

Thanks Billy. I've just had a large dose of PMSL.

[ashmicro]

Duke, that's a winner!What is making me smile et the moment is taht the Mrs has just arrived home with 40 Dunhill and a litre of vodka. She has said, and I quote "I fucking love you, even though you're a dickhead"

[Pete-M]

Just been fiddling with the SD1 again and this rather well spoken chap with two of those huge poodle type dogs (Can't remember the name of 'em) wanders up to me and that he's just bought an 820 Vitesse with 10k miles on the clock "Off that ebay, from Devon, couldn't complain at £1300 though".

 

He then went on to list all the cars he's had, and the ones he's got. All Rovers. 40 odd years worth. Told me bits about the 1951 gas turbine car, his old P4 110 and a few other odds and sods. Seemed like a nice enough chap.

 

He then wandered off, calling his dogs as he went "C'mon Jet, C'mon Rover"

 

Had to chuckle.

 

Oh, found this as well. SD1 doing an emergency run across London. GR9 for shite spottage.

pearl necklace

That reminds of the time about 6 of us were sitting in the canteen at the place I used to work, when one bloke (who was a bit 'inoccent') anounced that he was going to give his wife a pearl necklace for christmas... cue 5 blokes pissing themselves laughing, and 1 looking totaly bewildered...

[trigger]

For once, the weather forecast is right and it's a lovely day....Cholmondeley Castle here we come!

It's not here, it's still crap, I'm gutted as I was planning on going to Battlesbridge car show, I might still go and just take a packamac.

In all honesty, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at anything. That is just awesome, beyond words.

[Station]

Twas a good (short) day. Good balance of normal old cars and AA/RAC badged classics (and about a million MGFs).

I'm still hearing that compeer's endless nattering about MG's and that Cresta in my head.

How did the Pug do in the little contest?

I'm knackered and am off to bed.

Compere was usual cuntish self. I was watching the bikes go in to the 'show' bit and was waiting to chat the owner of one but MC Gobshite assaulted my ear drums so much I had to walk away.

 

Didn't get talking to half the people I wanted to unfortunately but had a good laugh with the 'usual suspects'.

 

More pictures on my daughter's camera when I figure out how to upload them, meanwhile here's the ones I took...

 

One for Nick, followed these two maxis in on the way to the show...

 

 

Shite holiday anyone?

 

And my two favourites of the show, for some reason the picture I took of the car itself didn't come out but this Sprint engined Toledo was absolute class and was one of our numbers...

 

This might not interest anyone else but I fucking loved it. Owner had had another he sold recently for fifteen grand and they're rarer than rocking horse shit. He got second in show but it really should have own it, it was spanking..

 

Massive thanks to Jon and Chris for organising it, hats off to you lads and apologies for not getting round to talk to everybody there.
