...me!
This weekend was 'Ultimate Street Car' at Santa Pod raceway. This is an annual event where folks can enter competitions and take runs up the drag strip.
So, for a laugh I entered myself in the 'Show n Shine' competition.
First off it pi$$ed down with rain all morning and we weren't sure if the show was going to happen at all.
Eventually we were moved into a large marquee, which gave us opportunity to get out the chamios and dusters to dry and polish the car up.
My car fell into the 1998-2001 age category. My car didn't draw the crowds like the Ford Escorts did...but people were really interested in it, I mean you don't see many tibs about here, let alone modified ones.
Needless to say that I won best car in my category
All the judging was done by the other entrants rather than the public.
Oh and the indiglo pedals were a real hit, possibly the best mod I've ever done!!
Anyway, I have a nice big trophy sitting on my desk at work
A chap from 'Fast Car' magazine was commentating. So hopefully the results will eb in there.
I was so convinced that I wasn't going to win that I wasn't paying attention to the awards and it wasn't until I heard the word 'Zoe' and saw my friend leaping up and down that I realised that I had won...
