So last night we (me and Davy Mcneil) decided we'd go to the pub, we decided we'd take the scenic route.....via Birmingham and the Autosport Show at the NEC.
A number of travelling methods were planned, firstly the bus, though we'd leave Edinburgh at 9pm on the Friday and get back today lunchtime and so missing last orders by quite a long time, then we decided to spend an extra £10 and take the train, we wouldn't get to the show 'til 12pm on Saturday though and we had heard services could be disrupted so went back to the original idea of taking a car. My mate Stu said we could use his Fiesta ST, though as fun and childish it made me feel, a quick run through to Ayr showed how hellish it would be to drive. It was so noisy and hard!
Only one option was left, take the big floaty car and travel in comfort
So at 0520ish we left Boomtoon, the weather was terribble, torrential rain and flash floods, the world disappeared for a second or so after we hit a really deep puddle , fortunately this slight maritime mishap was no problem for the car
We got to the NEC, parked up and ticketed by 11ish.
Firstly, I'm no David Bailey so apologies if the pictures aren't epic Oh and you might have to turn your head to the side on a couple of pics lmao
Some guys were showing off their Chevy Cruz cup car, £17.5k ready to run, it could be a good wee championship.
I had a little sex-wee when I saw this
The stain got a bit worse after these
SBD's Duratec on the Kent Cams stand, the engineers seem to be quite hot but I think it might not hold oil that well
Then of to Burtons to look at their old skool injuns They had a Duratec there too, they seem to be the engine just now and after reading up on them and playing with the ST I can see why. The modern day XE?
