OMG Jimmy! Mark's Civic Coupe and Jaffa's Renault 5 GT was at Thurrock Services on Friday night, about 10pm ish. I was walking round them amazed by them and knowing they were in Belgium the following day is amazing!

1 answer - to show how clean the car was under the arches, discs, and side of the engine - like the cars do over here at diff shows

Most of them are on air bag suspension, due to the laws that regulate car modifying!
And we freestyled the lingo! Most of them spoke English and all understood can we have 4 beers please when me, Jacko, Rob and Gaz went on a mini bar crawl!

Just another level out there isn't it. Some of the cars they have are brilliant. No real "chavs and neds" like we get covering our shows as well.
Atmosphere is generally more laid back and not all about "look at me, im cool, fo shizzle mi white bowi homie"
Belgi's usually speak some english, so you can get on. Just don't try ever to barter with non english speaking german people on trade stands

Some of those cars were at GTI International in Magny Cours last month.
The attention to detail and level of thought involved in some of the cars was immense. Looks like time well spent.
Were going over again next year 100%

Byron - yeah all the top cars tend to be at all the shows over europe so we found out over the past few years of travelling to them all, as you will know for going the quality it top, even the highly modded "chav" cars so people know them as on here

AND not forgetting - Darren with the 106 was saying he cant leave corsa sports so like everyone bums and goes on about how fast they are - think again

Yeah, but look at the weight in the car
Jimmey, yeah, i noticed the same. More families and a general day out.
If i took children to say Doncaster (or Donny as it is now), i'd have to go armed with an air rifle.

See any 'concept 983' cars out there?
That silver Rover 25 was one of them iirc.
All followed the same styling theme - were awesome.
