Review of the flamer show---Amazin. The cossie was awesome but they were only puffs of flame. It woulda been mint if they were long streams of flame like the scooby. The scooby ruled and its a shame its gone.
Gadget done really well but u had to be upset to see the firemen stood there thinking 'His 300 pound+ rear bumper is burning itself away, i think its supposed to do that,he wont mind.....Will he????' Twits

Was a fantastic weekend, had so much fun, we was camping next to you but never had the courage to come over and say hi, was always to drunk

Saw Meesh and the stand looked great, We were also near you for that lol, Mate's had a go on the 0-60, Dave got 7. something in his alfa GTA, Cav got 8.11 in the pug even though it is ****ed, and Sean didn't even get to 60 on the 3 goes he had,

All in all it was a good weekend except for the dust, sunburn and the toilets/showers being flooded, Was so glad to get home and have a shower

all in all it was a good weekend !!!

convoy there was good i decided to hang back a bit with the van so not to get in any trouble!! had one little mass up when i decided to invent a smoke machine lol o well.

i would just like to thank all the organisers for makin it a great wkend, and to every1 who went for makin me feel so welcome, thank you, and i look 4ward to the next one.

Big Thanks to :-
Gadget – For your BBQ over the weekend and your help.
Moderatos :- Well members wouldn’t have had the great
weekend with out your help before and at the Nationals.
Thanks again to you all.

Big thanks to all the members who made it such a great
weekend and coming to the Nationals.

What a great weekend,
Enjoyed it through our trial's with the wind and
the "Late Night Club" lol..

Convoy was great, as we waited to leave at 6am,
cars just kept coming and coming, 30 in total.
Then off we go Aggy and Misteradam catching us up
before we even got to the M56.

Pulled into the services, and ordered Breakfast.
They had a special offer on Breakfasts?
£1.99 all in with coffee too, but it was a great
lifter before the final run to the Modified Nationals 2005.

So we arrive and its all hands on deck as we Set-up the
community area, and thanks everyone that chipped in.
Wasn’t long before the BBQ’s were in full swing,
and hungry faces became happy faces.

Friday Evening was a great night involving lots of Bacardi
and Vodka and a Andy Spiked Drink which contained
some sort of chattin additive?
Which helped being apart of the late night club lol..
There were a few slackers but a little encouragement managed
to keep them with us. Aggy you’re a star for taking all the
Jokes over the weekend, sorry buddy but you were always
just there at the right moment lol..
You had to be there as the jokes and the laghter was great
and made a few more friends and also got to know
everyone that bit better.
The late night club finished up at about 4am but that wasn’t the
end of it? Well we gate crashed Vixen’s Tent as she had loads
of room so Aggy, Dazza, Meesh, My self took over vixens tent,
and continued the banter until at least 5am.
Meesh Departed at some stage due to “wind”?
Aggy was to awake with a Hitler Tash?
No idea how that got there? Thanks for the make up bag vixen,
And eventually we all fell asleep, not for too long,
as it was

Saturday
7am We arise after vixen waking us up after she had come
back from the showers. Only to discover the wind had picked up?
Everyone’s Tents were struggling, and to watch at least 4 or 5
gazeebos’ tumble across the camping area, bouncing off
cars and tents to eventually land somewhere out side the camping
area. There was also a huge Show Tent in the Club Stand area
that had been set up the night before that was to be reduced to
a buckled frame only? And as we were informed it was on hire
at £200 per day. So that should give you an idea how expensive
and how big it was. But while that was going on our Community
tent also was beginning to weaken. All hands on deck at 8am,
we managed to get the covers off just in time. What a killer
the wind is when camping. Poor Ade (Not DJ) must have
re-pegged his tent 10 times on Saturday, just to keep it there.
But that has to be part of the fun with camping, the unexpected.

With Breakfast on the go and everyone hiding behind the van for
cover we got there in the end? Always unsure if the rain would
also start. But by late afternoon the sky’s were clear again and
the wind was still there with hints of it calming down.

Thanks to Gadget and Aceritz for taking control of the club stand,
it looked amazing all our cars shining at the front.
Its just a Shame we couldn’t use the club stand tents and
extra’s we had planned. It looked great and turned a good
few heads as people walked past. Thanks again to our members
who drove down to the nationals and showed off there
pride and joy. Big thanks again to everyone.

Had a quiet moment at the BBQ and went for a walk about to see all the
Stands etc, and as I said we looked good with over 30 cars there.
Plenty of models around and I think Aceritz got everyone of them lol.
They looked great on his camera. Meesh and Maverick also with
Pictures of some awesome cars and gorgeous models.
I thought and I think everyone would agree that the Show n Shine
Building was awesome. That’s where the serious money was spent.
Jaw dropping cars, you will have to wait for the pictures.
Loads of really nice cars out and about in the trade area’s too.
And I’m sure that everyone that was there was thinking “I can do that”.
The Nationals does bring the cream of the cream together.

Almost into Saturday evening now and a few hundred burgers and
hotdogs have gone by. And its time for the Flamer Show.
WOW I don’t think anyone expected the Space Shuttle to be
taking part? I think the only thing that would have beaten it
would have been if it blew up and created an explosion.
Gadget is proud to be the only one out of the group to
require assistance from the fire brigade. Just to put his
back bumper out as it decided to continue flaming.
Have to say well done to those who entered as the
trophies were presented on behalf of fastcarz.co.uk,
that’s us really but it was good to bring the attention
to cruisewirral and fastcarz for the right reasons.

Then straight over to the under car lighting competition.
And another great successful competition by fastcarz.co.uk

On this day also was a bigger event that the world needed
to know? Sanchez happy 25th Birthday 28th May 2005.
At least Aceritz went out of his way to present you with
a birthday present.

1/8 mile strip right next to our camping area too,
I think our members enjoyed the front row seats.
Well done to everyone who entered.

And Finally Sunday..
After Bacon Butties for breakfast we all began to pack up.
And say our goodbye’s to the Nationals for another year.
Members left at different times and also for some reason
took very different routes?

Enter the 1/8th Mile - £5
Enter the Nationals - £35
Return Journey – Priceless.

I drove back on my own being in the van which maxed out
at a stilly 60mph with those head winds.
But I did make one wrong turn being half asleep I suppose,
and it was coming on to the A1?
I didn’t realise for 10miles I was going the wrong way,
until I seen a sign for “London” lol…
But swiftly turned it around, and was home for 3pm.
And I slept for England, 18hr’s straight.
Did I need that catch up I was goosed but it was all
worth it as I did enjoy the weekend.
The laughs and the tears.

Big Thanks to all of our Members and a Big Big
thanks to our Moderators for making the weekend
a great one.

Pictures are being e-mailed over.
Will let you know when we have them all and
the gallery is up and running.
Hope to be sooner than later.
Its well worth waiting for

:go: :go:

I think Meesh has summed the whole weekend up for me, I enjoyed every minute - everyone was very friendly and chipped in with all the work that needed to be done.

Convoy there was entertaining to say the least, Lazy Ben's little mishap and Meesh's near miss made it somewhat a memorable one!


I think i speak for a lot of people when i say most of us got "slightly" burned! :go:

Ha, yeah sorry about the fumes n noise rocco, and the really slow run! That wind was so hard to drive against! Just emailed my pics in, can't wait to see the gallery

Just wanted to say thanks to all admin, mods, and members who made it such a great weekend. See ya all soon

Well I had a fantastic time great convoy down and some spectacular cars at the actual show. Little dissapointed by the lack of trade standards there.

However massive thanks to the rest of the team for their hardwork especially Webmaster

very good weekend..was great to get away from everything and see some very good cars...

possibly a little too much hype surrounded it as it didnt really meet expectations..i think it had a lot do with having to camp away from were the cars would be situated....oh and also sunstroke..

i officially became a sun dried tomato this weekend and im peeling really badly now..

all in all a good laugh but maverick needs better sat nav

good weekend. my car is for sale

why is it for sale ??

stop post drifting. it just is. look in for sale

I was slightly dissapointed too agg. I was expecting a lot more things to happen. IE/ Steer from the rear display team or someone similar. More flamers and more organisation really. For instance,"Where the hell was the under car lighting comp held" We walked round for 45 minutes looking for it when i heard it was starting.Still had a good laugh though. Deffo doin it again.

Dam white van man lol

thing was, it happened again about 30 mins later with a BMW lol they just kept appearing right on me rear bumper as I changed lanes....spooky

Linsy - My moves just got better and better as the night wore on. Nice meetin you again aswell.

Vicky - I did try my hardest to impress sunday morning. P.s like the thong?


What can I say about the nationals, mmmm it was immense and I had such a good time with everyone, huge thank you to everyone for coming and being great people. And a huge congrats to all the drivers, your cars were lookin fab. Also mods/admin thanks for all the organising and preping and hard work that's gone in to make this a sucess.

Starting from the beginning which was probably the worse bit cos it was god damm 6 in the mornin, but a very classy convoy there. Not really much messin around or near misses etc. Lovely brekky and off we went.

Arrived to locked gates but scooby soon got them open and in we went to take our pick for camping, we pitched up at the far end right next to the 0-60 strip and east access to everywhere. Top teamwork setting up with mods/admin doing the community tent and barbecue etc and everyone else getting the tents up top teamwork if you asl me. Very tiringh and hard work tho as the tempertures soared and everyone was getting burnt, some worse than others. Had a brief kick around with some of the boys too, nice 1 too devo for bringin the ball.Friday was all about the set up, eating, prepping and cleaning cars and drinking off corse. Went looking round the site aswell and went to the fairground for a few cheap thrills(no pun intended). Back to base and the banter, jokes fun etc started. Funniest bit had to be when there was a rather large barbecue fire just behind us and within 2 minutes there was a fire engine, ambulance and about 4 security vehicles, bit over dramatic but had me in fits of laughter. Also got a visit from rach and danni on friday night which was nice, nice to meet you girls.

Saturday morning was a nice early start, too early for me so i decided to threaten mike with his life lmao. Again the sun was blazing but it was onto setting the cars up on our show stand, top job done by aceritz there. Looked fab, bit of a everything day to be fair, went round the stands looking at gear, had a good look at all the sexy females and also walked a million miles rounfd the thousands and thousands off fabulas cars. Can't belive some off them just stunning , too many nice 1's to even mention the best. More food and banter back at base before it was time for the flamer comp that went ahead even after it was cancelled for health and safety reasons, wow what a winner as you can see from the pics it was a deserved and fab winner, not a bad little show put on too by gadget.

Onto the lighting show then. Well what a great show and i'm just glad i never had to judge it was fierce competition there wait till you see the pics and video's, but a worthy winner in the end who also won the competition last year. Think the competition ran for about 2 hours and into me drinkin time bnut not too worry.

Spent saturday night from the naughty tent and then the big tunes club dancin away wit richie, ade, danielle and briefly sted. Oh and had a wee boogie and chat with lovely linsy. Was great and also great to get to kno danielle top lass. Also had a bit off banter with a dude 'on pills but dont tell anyone' hartlepool guy who's had 200 fights and never lost lmao and also some banter with a few from **. Who kindly gave me some waterbombs. Backto base to briefly catch a few just going to bed and then a wee bit off fun with danielle and sted then bed to wake up mike and net, ha ha sorry.

Sunday was a weird day people were all leaving at different times but i stayed with the last lot. I was in such a good mood and hypo I was wearing my thong over my jeans all day, great sight! more walking round and packing and then it was home time sadly. So off we went sadly for the drive home. Had mav's camera at the ready too take some convoy naps but soon ended up following dikky too newcastle lol. Anyway I got our group back on track meeting everyone else in the service station. So then it was on too the race home, I took some pictures and then decided to give it some. Only to the slow down and wait for the rest, after half an hour at 50-60 mph i rang mav only to find out they'd took a wrong turning and were on there way to the lakes oops. Headed home and the rest is zzzzzzz.


Biggest thank you too Webby as he just cooked and cooked all weekend, top marks and great food. Netty thanks for the hospitality. Mav thanks for all the hard work you put in mate, you never stop and for the takin the lead on the way home.

Can't thank admin and moods enough for organising and all there hard work. But members you all deserve a pat on the back as you all done cruisewirral proud.

It was nice too meet some new people and was also nice to get to kno a few people better.

I'm pretty sure i've forgot lods so look out for more random posts.

:go: :go:

P.s. Thanks mr sun for burning mt head!

The end...........
