Heaven On Wheels, Belgium.

[Jason_E]

Okay so us Lowlife boys decided to go for this one. Belgium holds HOW every year and we always have people harping on about how great it is so we thought we should head up. Zi, in the Z3. Bockett, in the scoob. And Alex, in the Levin.

I got a lift with my friend Richard Boon or "Booner" in his BMW Z4 M. Top down, nice weather, epic convoy and banter.

So we met a few of the Cleaned UK guys in Clackton (Spelling?) Services and headed towards Folkstone. Zi is absent from these pictures as he didn't finish building his wheels 'til about 4am and was busy getting tyres.

Then we headed down to the Tunnel, and met up with a few others.

Unfortunately, there was a bit of an issue. As we were getting on they pulled all the lowest boys to one side.. Once we were on the train (Me, Booner, Alex) they told us our friends couldnt get on as they were "Too low". I radio'd through to the guys, and as the train staff were standing right by us I got a *CRACKLE* "Tell them they have f**king aids and I'll rape their arseholes, OVER". Awkward.

Eventually, they had to get the next train as the supervisor gave them the okay, so we all waited the other side to regroup.

We managed to get broken up a bit here and there, but we never really strayed far from eachother. Regrouped a couple of times strategically (Having radios really helped with this, a long with some cross car abuse).

That night we all got some food and headed to a bar. A Few of us kept the party going 'till stupid o clock in our flats/hotel, pissed off a few of our own group actually (whoops). Next day though, was the show. A lot of truely s**t hideous ricers. And I mean, proper comedy cars. But there were some gorgeous ones too. Was a weird contrast between perfection, and failed abortion.

I do have more show photos I'll add later.

After this, me and Boon left earlier than everyone to get the train. So were riding solo as it were.

Then, something pretty cool happened. So we're cruising through France at about 60mph trying desperately to get above 22MPG and this spanking new BMW M1 on british plates comes rocking up. The driver, and the passenger seemed good banter and we took turns making noise past eachother. At one point we had the passenger hanging out giving us a big old salute!

Fast forward to the next services, and the passenger is waving us to follow them in. We needed fuel and fancied a chat so we did. We were pulling up, and the passenger comes bounding over.... it's none other than JK. Yes, Jamiroquai. True petrol head. We chatted for a bit about cars, particularly his BMWs and stuff. And when I was going in to get a drink from the shop, Boon got his business card and he said we should pop over his to have a look at the cars or if we fancied another jaunt out in europe. Legend.

Anyway, back in UK. Saw a few air cooled dubs about so snapped this on the move....

Love that 205 in silver!

I saw an absolutely SLAMMED Seat Arosa as I was driving into Manchester today, was mental! Looked like a little box hovering down the M602!

 

[Riad]

Nice! Sounds fun

 

[.GAZ.]

Happy days!

 

[welshname]

No way did you meet JK. b*****d! Such a legend.

Looked like a cool trip and some great pics as always.

 

[Ian_182]

Looks like the trip was worth it.

Some lovely cars.

 

[Englebert]

Nice photos there. I saw a load of Beetles at the weekend so presume there was a meet going on somewhere.

 

[RSteve]

Need more pics of the 205(s)!
Awesome pics mate, bet there's nothing like a roadtrip like that in this weather.

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Very cool!

Might sound like a weird question if it isn't him but is Booner the guy that was on Dragons Den?

 

[mace¬]

Pics or JK never happened. You know the score.

 

[TIG ACM]

I was there too! Saw all the Cleaned UK guys

 

[TIG ACM]

We were next to you guys queuing up to get in

 

[.Adam.]

Pics of JK hanging out the window?

 

[Jason_E]

Very cool!

I think he was about 18 and on some sort of Dragon's Den style thing.

Pics or JK never happened. You know the score.

Will a shady video suffice? Just waiting on Vimeo. I have a small preview of the trip to go up.

We were next to you guys queuing up to get in

Really? What car? Did you see them having to push the MX! LOL.

Pics of JK hanging out the window?

As above!

We were in this..

 

[Jason_E]

Cannot believe I didn't spot you! Was keeping an eye out. Did you see some of the Fast and Furious rejects? JESUS!

VIDEO, as promised. Working on some of the stuff from the Go Pro as as sort of second preview type thing.

Hmmmm not convinced. I've seen more proof in Rhianna sex tapes.

 

[TIG ACM]

There was some very good candidates for Barry boys there.

 

[TIG ACM]

Did you have a closer look at this:


From what I saw it didnt look like it was connected up. On the ends was plastic flexy pipe not silicon...

WTF!! Is that just a Twingo GT? Christ.

Looked like a decent trip. <3 the Z4M!

 

[TIG ACM]

Go pro was awesome!

 

[.Adam.]

Cool videos! I fancy a Go Pro

 

[Jason_E]

Not great s**t as I don't really do videos, and probably a "Be there thing". But this is my Part 1.

 

[Ash']

Nice! Would love to do something like that one day. Just go on a road trip with the beys.

 

[Tunst]

Seen the vid on Fb.. I Laughed a little at some parts

 

[Jason_E]

Was f**king awesome! I hated not having my car at the show, but I loved the Z4 M. Seriously, EPIC noise ('zaust and intake upgraded), stupidly fast and a 'vert so got some nice sunburn. Made it good for rolling shots and videos as well.

Part 2 of the fucked up-ness.
