if you were faced with the option of camping with Renton, Martoon, Dangerous and Brom and the PF boys.... loads of beer, food, fun and frolics...

or staying in a hotel an hour away from the track in a foreign country with Mr M Rainbird and having 2 swift J20's and an ovaltine.... what would YOU do????

I do see your point though however sadly I have not camped anywhere since I was a teenager and am actually quite excited about it

I give it 1 night before you start demanding to be flown to and from a hotel by helicopter at the end of the evening so you can still join in the drinking first

The sleeping bags are small and shit

The lights came with no batteries and I couldnt be arsed to buy any.



I agree its great value, but mainly cause its shit quality, like a Kia is a great value car




Oh, and you will NEVER get it back in its case, ever, in any cirumstances, once its unpacked thats it for life, it will never go back.

THE TENT ROCKED!!!!! very warm and dry all weekend. Even in howling winds and torrential rain.

The matresses were super comfy and the sleeping bags were lovely. Not too hot, not too cold. Really soft and cuddly too!!!

Never tried the lights as no batterys...

AND WE GOT IT BACK IN THE BAG EASILY!!!!!!!!!!! Dave from PF was our witness!!! Chip you must be stooooopid

Overall this tent rocks. (althought I have never tried any others to compare against to be fair )

And for Ł99 its silly value!!!

We had HOT showers (not together ) and AWESOME pizza on Saturday night, and we all thought of you for about five minutes; slumming it in the pissing rain .

and I was on track in Martins car during the Gatebil extreme race and was about a metre from the door of Liefs Escort when he was totally sideways for basically the entire track apart from the straight....

I have had a few Pizzas and hot showers in my life... But thats the first time the worlds 2 best Escorts have ever been on track and side by side at well over 130mph with the throttles buried... and I was on board.

Game, set and Match LMH....

Never mind... you can watch the video as Tommy was behind with Dave filming. I am sure that will be just as good

Lee, you got all four sleeping bags, both matresses and the tent all back in the bag?

That means you must have actually bothered to fold the matresses up properly, fuck that

And LMAO @ "This tent rocked, although we went and stayed in a hotel"

I would have stayed... it was the other homos. To be fair though, they only stayed there as they wanted to go out on the piss in the town and there was no one left at Gatebil show....

and yes Renton did fold the matresses up... I watched him. Looked easy!
