....along with Steve (Bux on here). It was a last minute thing that we decided to enter on the Sunday morning. I'd never considered entering, but though fuck it i'll do it for a laugh, what the hell is a van on steels with a rusty bonnet going to win!
Mine and Steve's cars in the S&S area...
So i was sat there in my van, and noticed that there were presentations going on at the stand and decided to have a wonder over. There were plenty of awards being given away, Best Interior, Best Wheels, Best I.C.E etc.
Steve won Best Race Car, which is fully deserved as the car is mint! Then another couple of awards go by, then Jonny (the guy from 5th Gear who was judging and presenting the awards), said that the next award which was Judges Choice, was an award for a car that deserved one for uniqueness. Then i heard him say its another Corsa, but its a van, and has a rusty bonnet. At that point i nearly passed out! 
I won this trophy and an Auto Glym valeting bag. Not bad to say i entered for a bit of a joke!
