| Well,where do I start.Great turnout.Very few problems on the gate... big thanks to all those who pre-booked.Great weather ,if a little brass monkeys at night. The improvement in the look of our cars was only bettered by the improvement in performance and reliability. Arriving on the lunchtime of the Saturday,finding my car was already in need of repair and had it falloff its trailer on the way through the show ground, my first great shock was not seeing Hotel Rubob in situe! However it didn't take long for the usual s4spects to start turning up."Notts on Tour" poured in in impressive numbers,closely followed by every resident of village Gilmorton...(I thought every village has ~ was the phrase oh well.) They all looked remarkably well considering the foot and mouth outbreak in their area,and of course they had the usual sprinkling of Germans in their party. The cortege seemed to take forever to come to rest ,but once it did there seemed to be no end to the vehicles being unloaded off trailers.In fact most of the time was spent unloading food for Jason,and a generous amount of hooligan soup for them all. The prize for biggest amount of ground area covered by a single structure also goes to Team Gilmorton for a Las Vegas style, 2 storey ,elegantly appointed,deluxe residence,that from the outside appeared to have room for upwards of twenty guests all with en-suite facilities.On the other hand I didn't like to be too inquisitive in case it was one of those all in together partner- swapping type arrangements that one hears about on late night Channel 4 programmes. The last time I went to one of those I tried to swap my partner for this guy's Merc but he was having none of it ,so I thought it was a waste of an evening. By the close of day Saturday there was a considerable gathering,the cars looked good all lined up,and it was then time to do what SCORR members are best at... sitting around,drinking to excess,and discussing the benefits,or not ,of sticking large lumps of metal through ones' genitals for absolutely no reason at all.Nigel provided the Dr .Mengele type picture to start the conversation off ,whilst others sat quietly thanking God they only pissed out of one hole,and up to now that had seemed quite sufficient . It seemed a million miles from the furore that was caused not long ago,when this publications' predecessor included a picture of a prick no,not that one of you AI,the one of a young lady playing the piccolo how times change. |
