Druridge Bay "Spring Cleaning" Car Show June 26th 2016
« on: June 09, 2016, 06:37:16 PM »

Good evening all.

It appears that the Druridge Bay car show's on again this year. Its being hosted by Slammed Social with the option for camping the night prior. Link below -
http://www.druridgebay.co.uk/events/spring-cleaning-car-show/

I'm going to be there again. Anyone else popping along? Be a shame to be the only mk1 44 brabus there like last year!

The organisers asking what the hell a 44 brabus is :) Also asking if I'm booking a club or not. Going to be a lonely meet seemingly :(

Link to the actual application page.

Be warned, they ask for interior, exterior and engine bay pics, as well as a mods list........
It's like a frickin essay and they have to "approve the application"
I assume it's to keep out all the standard younguns with bean tin exhausts!

The way you're explaining it makes it sound a bit like a
"Chav's car meet".....where it's all engine revving, exhaust
popping, dump valve hissing, burbly rumbling exhausts
and bling interior with mega bass chest pumpin sound systems,
etc etc, then you're not allowed in.
As in Soobies, EVO's, Skyline's, Supra's, RS's, and the like....

If my missus drove it more, it would be slammed...... into every static object!

There are some p.o.a. slots but thought it best to reserve a space.
Good news is that it got accepted at ten to ten tonight.
Bit nervous that it may be as Graham described but hey ho.
Might even win best 44 in show :)

Hmmm.... the reason they ask for the pictures is to enter into the main event.
Now seriously flying the 44 flag.
Need to start cleaning her up over the next few days and order up some wipers as the old ones are a bit raggy.
Rear wheels are peeling and no time to sort them before Sunday.
Papping myself now folks!

Ohh, the focus ST got rejected for admission too! I've had that lads life the last few days!

If your talking a "spirited drive", let's just say that, even with its poor state of tune, the Brabus holds its own :)
Anything over 60 and he has me. Too much torque / power loss with the new bits but on B roads, he can't touch me. Partly to the fact he's not learned his limits yet and can't carry the speed in or out of the corners as well.
The ST is well worth its price tag though. Build quality is excellent. Power and torque delivery is spot on and it turns heads.
Would I own one, not a hope.
Why? Because its not quirky enough. Give me my build with a decent tune any day.
Plus, with the total cost of the build, its still cheaper than the ST second hand (think it was 14k) as opposed to around 9k for a potentially sub 5 second 44.... no brainer really!

You forgot to add the last bits:-

1/ every 'turbo nutter b-stard' has one...
2/ every 'tea leaf' in the neighbourhood will try ta nick it...
3/ the insurance is higher due to 1+2 above...
4/ those who have them don't appear able to drive them..
5/ carrying on from 4..most them are thrashed, crashed and/or trashed...
6/ they stand out like a sore thumb....
7/ PC Plod will pull them up at any time...
8/ and of course, being all steel they rust...
9/ ya mother or your partner wouldnt like it...
10/ its  a FORD....

Been cleaning bits of the inside today. Ready for a full leather conditioner and glass clean -


Scrubbed the mats down and they now look like new.
Ordered a full autoglym kit with claybar, engine cleaner, wheel and tyre treatments... the full works.
I know she's not going to win any prizes but trying my hardest to represent the 44 community as best I can.
