View Full Version : Performance Vauxhall - Piccys
thejoose 08-06-2008, 08:07 PM 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!
firestarter 08-06-2008, 08:16 PM The traffic was backed up when I left at 2.30, but then again, I was supprised people wernt still trying to get in...
wilfy 08-06-2008, 08:18 PM 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
Skinny_J 08-06-2008, 08:19 PM shame i had to work today santa pod is only 15 mins from me, would of loved to see your dd power in the clio and firestarters orange van.
PassatBloke 08-06-2008, 08:23 PM 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

And yet the picture shows nothing to justify this comment :p
PassatBloke 08-06-2008, 08:45 PM 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 :(

what do you expect from a vauxhall show :whatever::p
dumdum 08-06-2008, 08:53 PM loads of folks snapped the polo screen, come on, i want a pic :)

WonkyJon 08-06-2008, 09:09 PM 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

samuelellis 09-06-2008, 06:30 AM the corsa van has come on a lot since the last time i saw it at rich's garage as it was just a shell not a long time before mod natts but it was done and dusted for mod nats

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!
Daddy O 09-06-2008, 02:53 PM Great day and nice to see everyone again.
