Behave yourselves, I have to work , I thought this would be the case!

I was looking forward to going Nova hunting, but never mind.

Graeme if your a good boy the lads will take you to the Maccies for your tea, after the drive through.

A word of advice for all of you, lock your doors driving through the lights. There were some proper wierdo's out last time through. Even I was a bit worried, and I had the Rottie with me(Samantha ).

Enjoy, CYA soon Yoza.

Just a word of WARNING the boys in blue and bright illuminous jackets have a bad habbit of taking photo's from the bridges over the M55 of anyone braking the speed limit, so behave out there. See you all there. Ady.

Cheer Ady , for that advice ..... as per last time, this is an event for everyone including families and the last thing any of us wants is to draw attention to ourselves.

IF we keep our driving to law abiding, then the attention is going to come from our passion ......'the cars'

Looking forward to meeting up with you all again, and hopefully making it as good, and as safe as the first one...

All is looking good at work at the moment, so hopefully should be back home while it is still daylight, so I can give the car a quick clean, as it currently looks like its been in a rally

unsure about meeting at Burtonwood now tho, as I will have to pick my bro in law up from Wigan (just literally off the motorway), unless we want to convoy upto to his house, and give all his neighbours a fright

Another great run tonight

I dont think I have ever seen THAT many cars get through a set of traffic lights before now, as they changed to green

Had a good laugh again, and wore my mask again for the whole length of the lights this time, scaring all the locals

Yes even bigger than the last meet and awesome!!
Ive got some good pics so i will post them up when Frank puts up a post about the night!
Thanks everyone for turning up at Blackpool, yet again you made our town rumble with the Scooby's and im glad that the route i planned out to norbreck was easy enough for all to get there to get lined up on Norbreck castle.
Think we put the traffic to a standstill here again... lol
Awesome night again everyone and thanks.

Shame we gotta wait till the turn on of the lights next season to do it all again...

Thumbs up

Great night guys, missus is now well and truly hooked Problem is i've gotta find a Scoob for her that i can trade her Polo in for

Anyway's heres some pics that i had to take coz my lad said so...........narration by him also

Heres Dad's boring Scoob but he made me stand in front of it so he could get a picture


Some of us kids weren't even bothered with Scoobs


Then the real mean looking ones started to show up at Burtonwood Services.



........and heres some really nice back ends (dad said he wanted to get some pics of some really nice back ends but looked disappointed when i stood behind scoobs waiting for my picture to be took )



..............and then some nice front ends



I told Mum that Dad wanted to see some nice rear ends. Mum looked mad and told me she wanted a nice big black one so here it is


We got to B&Q but it was really raining so heres a couple of a few scoobs



My favorite car and its for sale



We finally got to the lights but then we where stuck behind some bloke called sonic. Loads of girls were screaming with shock when they saw him, so i told him to put a mask on so as not to frighten them If you look carefully, you can see his head sticking out of the drivers side window
