Donny 2005

This was the first main show for X2C. With a 8 car stand outside and 2 cars on the Best of Britain we could tell it was going to be a good weekend. We met at Thurrock Services on Friday afternoon and convoyed up North to Doncaster. After a slight detour around Cambridge, hitting every kind of weather possible, 2 or 3 pit stops and 250 miles of driving we arrived at the Hotel ready for the weekend to begin.

Saturday morning came and we headed up to the racecourse nice and early and got the cars on the stand. After a few hours of cleaning in the freezing cold, we decided to go and join Marky ( 206 ) and Taz ( Scooby ) inside on the Best of Britain. The day turned out to be a good one with some of the best motors around. There were lots of activites to take part in or view from the sidelines. Overall it was a good day.

Sunday proved to be the best day of the show, with better weather and more people. There was a lot of interest shown towards X2C and lots of flyers were dished out. We managed to get around all the stands and see all the cars and what a turn out it was.

The awards were given in the afternoon / evening. Andy Flamera won Best Car in Britain, Best Presented Car as well as Best Engine Bay. The car was in superb condition as he showed off his new paintjob and interior on the Autogleam stand. Overall the show was a great success and was enjoyed by all of the X2C Crew that went. We set out home in the afternoon and made it back to Croydon on Sunday evening.

I would like to thank everyone that came from X2C and all those that showed their support over the weekend. I would also like to thank Kevin for leading the Convoy up there.
