Edition 38 2012

Right, make sure you are sitting comfortably whilst you start to read this as, I think this may well be the biggest post I have ever made. I normally do 2 or 3 separate posts for the big events such as Edition 38. But this year I am just going to post them all in this one section keeping them all together as It was nearly a month ago the show was on & I have only just got access back to the blog to post the pictures, so I dont want it dragging on to long.Edition 38, as I say every year is one of my favourite shows, not just for the superior quality of cars that attended but because its the show, I've attended every year with the same group of people for the last 5 years, it's very much became tradition within our little group and as the event gets closer I still get just as excited about it as I did the first time we all went down.This year though was different, armed with 4 years experience, Zak, Nathan, Vikki, Peck & I decided to get to the show as the gates opened so we could guarantee ourselves a camping spot tucked away in a corner& saving enough space for Harv, Soph, Crowther & Robsey when they arrived later on, unlike previous years where we had been camped on a part where people were constantly walking along and last year being a year my Toyota that I had taken got a bottle of orange juice launched at it by some drunken pleb, I didnt want the same happening this year in my Integra, so I wasn't to keen on having it right out on show. This, is one thing we did manage to achieve. Getting the exact space we all wanted we set out our tents & camping chairs and chilled out for a few hours.This year, I wont bore you with anymore drib drab about any of the antics of what happened at the camp site, as it was freezing & I cant remember much, So here are the pictures. Like i said, i hope you are sitting comfortably!...Venturing to the showground on the Friday & Edition this year had set about putting a "Classic" show on or something, im not to sure, but it was cool to have something to look around on the Friday where in previous years we would have just been sat at the camp site.One of the cars that really caught my eye not just from the Friday but the whole weekend was this MK2 Golf resprayed in a Fiat colour. To me, this car is done perfectly.Messer wheels, a up and coming Wheel company from Germany showed up early on the Friday with their A7 on a set of their wheels, never knew how big the A7 was until I looked around theirs. Certainly has a very executive presence on the showfield.Matt blue wrapped Mk6 Golf on BBS Lm's came all the way from Norway..Mk2 on CCW's from Holland still looked just as good as it did last yearSuper bright Yellow RS4 from Austria...Corrado From Holland....Flachwerk RS4 from Germany..One of my favourites from the show, a Orange Mk1 Golf on no lip BBS's from Germany...German Polo coupe..Another shot of the Messer Wheels Audi A7..I dont even know what country this Mk1 golf is from, but it looked amazing. Completely different sort of set up from what you normally see. I loved it. Hard to be unique with such a widely modified car but they have succeeded without doing anything retarded and overall very very tasteful.I can only assume it is the colour of this MK2 Golf that warms me from the inside but I find it very aesthetically pleasingThis S4 outside the Players lounge on (I May be wrong so please correct me) Rotiform SJCOld school Passat wagon...Mk2 on OZ TurbosLoved this, maybe I am bias though.This BMW Caught my eye as I am fairly sure it was here last year & was Red...Harv's girlfriend Sophie fell in love with this...Mk2...Really clean Caddy..Same can be said for this Mk1..After having spent a little while on the show ground, we headed back to the Campsite to chill out for a little bit & await the rest of the group to arrive. En route back we stopped off at the F6Squared camp site to say hello to fellow Colchester boy Sam Evans & also saw a couple of their cars...This is where my Coverage for Friday ends....& Saturday begins....Robsey no longer owns this Evo, he swapped it for a pristine EK9 just after this show.& whilst one of my friends joins the Honda Clan another leaves, Crowther recently sold his Yellow DC2 for this AE86, and as a group, we have all fallen in love with the old thing! (The car, not Crowther!)Sam Evans S2000 on his old SSR wheels, This is one of the problems with not having the site, Sam has a new set of wheels on the car now. Enkei's you will be able to see them in the Players post if you havnt already from the 6TWO1 Facebook pageHarvs EK4..F6's PS13..and back on the show ground...Wheel whores converted MK3 Pick up or a UTE as I believe the term is..Amazing Audi build from the ground up..Jetta which blew me away last year was back again...Stunning colour..Cabbies dont get to much love but this one seem's to have had some extreme time and effort put into it..The Transporters are also cropping up with some tasteful mods on..Its almost guaranteed that as soon as Volkswagen release a new model, there will be a modified one at Edition 38...Mk3 On Memoryfab wheels..I am very much a fan of the MK6 GolfStarkys A4...Classic. Timeless...R8 looks very aggressive..Still love this MK1 on Fifteen52 snowflakes...Another Fifteen52 Wheel'd Golf..The following White A3's traveled all the way down from Scotland..Jason Allen's Black & Pink A3...Nicely done passat...Another local blogger, more focused on Volkswagens though Dub-it.co.uk had his Camper Van set up with a live feed of the show on his site..Stunning Mk1 Jetta on OZ TurbosHulks CaddyTidy Mk2 Golf..VAD were present with their creations..I say this every time I see this golf but its still one of my all time favourites. One of the few if I had the money I would buy if it came up for sale at the right timeAnother great example of the MK6 Chassis..One of my favourites from the weekend.Another shot of the Norwegian Mk6 GolfEx Honda boy Lee John's new Polo..Superb Audi S3..Stasis Audi S5....had never seen a 5 door one before, looked amazing.Bora on Porsche wheels...This is quite a well known car from "back in the day" I believe, I'm not sure because in terms of building cars, I'm still quite a new comer, but this car was getting a lot of stick from the more modern scene kids, but I dig it. Except the front bumper, im not keen on that, but the fact its a mid engine VR6, roof chopped MK1 golf, its different, not in a bad way, its unique. I liked that.Well executed Mk3 VR6One of the E38 cars out front of the Recaro booth..Loved the colour of this polo..Big fan of this SciroccoSpotted this BMW in the Camp site..That was the end of my saturday coverage. Camera went away after that shot and we just enjoyed the Sun until it turned absolutely freezing in the evening....Sunday soon came (Obviously) and we were in no rush to get back to the show field, we packed up camp and parked near the exit gates, this year they had to open the back fences making the showground massiveRev it..Loved the Colour on this R32Maitland bought the Golf out of hiding ....ROLLHARD.RS4....Not to many of these around at the minute, interested to see when they become a bit more affordable how people modify these...Lamborghini Brakes tucked behind the BLQ's....Old school cool....Cant get enough of this colour...New shape EOS...Finishing off the images with Airlift's two cars...Something new at every show from these cars...I Hope you've enjoyed the pictures. I summaries this the same every single year, Its an awesome show. If you're into your Dubs this will give you a cargasm. If you're not into your dubs but still enjoy a well built car, this show will hit them spots for you too. Its so chilled out, great atmosphere every year. The only complaint I have is the guy on the stage with the Mic is a boring, but thats all haha.
