A great day - weather was much better than Modded Nats! plenty of sunburnt chavs with fibre glass splitters under there arms!

Did some good booming learnt a few things about chav behaviour - Play Flo Rida or Timberland and they gather around, play dolly parton and they all leave pretty quick. I think i managed to set of about 4 or 5 car alarms as well some of them pretty far away - Result!

Dont think the weather did me any favours on the score front (managed 151.7db so .5db down) but think John gained some (157.2 i think for a new UK Record)

Some great battles in street with Wilfy, Wonky Jon, Passatbloke Buju and micb be all battling it out

Bassrace had a few good battles as well - I didnt manage to go head to head with firestarter as he has to leave early. I did managed 149.7 in bassrace with dumdum trying a flat out run, he managed to crack his windscreen

mrs thejoose took a few snaps so here we go

On the way there my front amp kept going into protection so as soon as we pulled up i whipped out the tweeters to check, turned out it was a short in some wiring (that i hadnt done!!!!)

Took a f**king age to get out of the show, Darren made a sneak dart for a quick exit and we all followed only for us to get out quick while he stayed in traffic! Cheers for another cool show mate

Bring on the Scots!

vauxhalls suck ..... end of.... :p

theres only so many chavvy novas & corsa's you can see in one day.... motorway was littered with them all the way back.

as for the dbdrag........ if i can give any advice then dont build a new box the night before a show.... a 1DB is not what you expect.....

either way it made it very exciting that we were all a bit closer... ust hope buju & winkyjon can step thier game up a bit as i intend to be back at what i've hit the last 2 shows... :p

bass race for my just makes me sick... it's hard enough hitting 139.9 but to hit it 2 runs in a row is ace, but the then tie the final & then lose the breaker is gutting, well done jon.

i aint gonna forget this show in a rush, mainly down to the new nuclear tan my arms & neck are sporting..... damn it was hot.

final note.... take your rear view mirror off if your bassing a carpy polo :p

I enjoyed today, but as previous Gingers have testified above, we suck at the sun malarky.

I gained :D - Street A Record holder (dances a little bit) and won bassrace too :D

Also can I just add, not enough beaver today :( - Hardly any bikini clad maidens running around, which to be fair, for the cost of petrol and entry, Darren should have at least hired ten of them for me :(

Great day peeps :)
as mentioned - very, very hot.. I'm burnt - all you gingers must be proper crispy by now :lol:

New personal best and I didnt spoon bassrace :D
Was indeed fun - far too stressfull in the moment, hopefully we'll have lots more close matches... although I'll probably be back to normal form next time :lol:

PassatBloke - Enjoy the 9012 goodness :D 140 isnt far away now!

Wilfy - Step it up? I might just do that (or at least, I'll try! 145.7 is above my original target so give me a few weeks and possibly another event with the single 12 - 146 cant be that hard for me to get before I switch it all around :lol:)

Cracking day :smokin:

Mee too, you wouldnt think adrenaline would pump so much from parping around with a system.

Although you do hide it well, leant upo against the car with your remote with a smug grin on yer face :D

I went over to Streetbassers with wonkyjohn, had a good long chat to Matt, Henery, a few others and got bassed over there. The queues were so bad I waited until a fair bit later before going.

I saw RichW and the AA man over there with the corsa just before I left.

Good to meet you Paul!
