What do fifty 150 decibel car hi-fis sound like, when being played at high volume next to each other? Pretty loud, I know that much now. And as everyone likes to play different music on their hi-fi, it’s not actually that nice to listen to. Imagine Rhianna played over the top of the Prodigy mixed with some drum and bass and then do that another 46 times over and you know the resulting noise won’t be tuneful.

Anyway, we were stuck in a room with these cars and some quieter ones, at the Modified Nationals in Peterborough. And most of these cars were very shiny indeed and all were modified – often to a mental amount, like the 206 CC cab owned by VXRMarc’s mate Tony. Daft is not the word. It should be in a gallery. A Bugatti Veyron would get less attention. Anyone who airbrushes their severed head onto the bootlid of a Pug gets a round of applause from us, that’s for certain.

What else? Well, we sold a lot of stuff. Met some good guys, including the Richbrook posse, the Meguiars crew, a Kenwood friend-of-a-friend, Jay of white and red Peugeot fame and a couple of lovely Halfords store managers (detailing enthusiasts to the extreme!), plus many others. The Blingo also went down a storm, as it should do, being the most wikkid delivery vehicle known to vankind. Aiiii.
