Morning people. Just back from the Lowrider Nationals in Cheltenham.
Absolutely top class show with 16 Lowriders turning up. Got very drunk (although not as drunk as some), and just bumbled about talking about cars for 2 days with a great group of people. So a perfect weekend then ;D
Our show is bolted onto the side of a hillbilly cowboy american wannabe car show, so there were plenty of mulletts and daft cowboy clothing to laugh at too.
Will put up some pictures soon (well, probably send 'em to Hotwire anyway
), but the best retro ride there was Derrie's '88 Lada pickup - straight as you like and painted matt black (proper sleeper style), but with a fully race prepared Lanica twincam Volumex supercharged nutcase engine putting 320hp to the back wheels. Completely and utterly insane. It appearently lights the tyres up in 3rd gear at 80mph. It's about £3.5k if anyone is interested.
