loafy Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The Mission if you choose to accept it mr loaf was the call i had from the boss manGlasgow -> Northampton -> Liverpool -> Glasgow 2 cars, 2 shoots, and lots of sun shineMission Accepted (well it would be rude not too!!!)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our choice of weapon this time round was a bluemotion passat, well we gotta save the environment dont we??so off we set on route to mr sweet's house, yes i have the address now we can hang out round his house claim extra scene points (i think thats how it works)this was going to be the last ever shoot of the car EVER!!! as Simon had his pals sorted for the saturday morning strip, so it felt real good knowing we would be the last ever team to shoot it, and watch simon give it some proper!!!!so after a few hours nippin south, in the glorious sunshine, we finally found northampton they have not moved it recently which made it easy to find, well the first time i tried i ended up in london, so i am glad edition38 have voted to keep it in the same place :-)once we finally arrived it was time to head off and see what was what and were we could do the shoot!yes we still had the sat nav on, we are tourists!!! lolas we headed to the first location, i noticed simon must have made a mistake somewere along the lines of building this mk2, i mean did he not know his tyres were too thin for his wheels, surely this was DANGEROUS!!! i mean they could blow up and take out a small school!!! ;-)at this point being concerned for my safety i thought i would let the world know i was there, just incase they could not identify our bodieslooked up and that 20v must have kicked in!! he was gone!!! gone like the wind!!!was he hiding?was he off cleaning it again?at one point i said to mr poah, here i think he is there!!! looooooooooooooooooook!but then it was clearly pointed out that was just some moxy's! or 25t dump trucks ;-)once we found mr sweet he was primed and ready and this is were i discovered i had left my insulin pen in glasgow (oh bugger) so leaving mr poah and mr sweet with a polish lorry driver i thought it was time to go visit northampton's finest a and e to get some drugs :-)having spent a hour or so and about a tenner in hospital car parking tickets it was time to head back to meet the pair, well to see if they were still alive, maybe that polish lorry driver who was enjoying the free magazines we gave him, maybe he had gagged tied and in the back of the lorry with a mk2. BUTThey were safe and they had moved onto the next location, and all set up and ready to rock and roll again, and we were not there long before the secuirty team, well one large ass chick came to us to tell us that we had to stop wot we were doing, as it was a national security risk! she claimed taking pictures in a tesco underground car park was potentially dangerous as we could be selling the images to terrorists! i was shocked would terrorists really wanna blow up tesco? i mean its tesco! morrisons i can understand but tesco is proper cheap :-)oh yeah it was also time for some mcdonalds too, cos i was bloody hungry!!!!nothing but the best for us ;-)so since we were not allowed to be shooting there no more it was time to pack up and head to location number 3, but has we were leaving we spotted the r32 of matt from reflex, surely if u shop at tesco in northampton u must be a scene whore (not the pink heart type!!) but a proper scene collecting one!!!and with my insulin kicking in i was ready to party the nite away!!once we got to location number 3, it was time to unpack it all again and set up, this time terrorists or no terriosts it was happening! they were not messing with us glasvegas folk!!!and at a nice 2am it was a rap! not as in gangsta rap but a rap for us, and for the mk2, since as everyone seen the next day the pictures of the strip down!!! and for us it was time to head up the m6 a bit to the hotel and crash for the next adventure the day after, could the passat keep up with a turbo vr6, well hell yes!!! ok maybe 10miles behind it but hell yes!!! lolso as the sun rose, the sleepy eyes were opened and the all u can eat breakfast bar was hit hard, and with a few extra crossiants stuffed in the pocket off we headed to the sunny town which is liverpool, and having recieved a pic msg from mr sweet showing the strip down had begun it was truely good to be round the car for the last time ;-)we decided with the mk3 we wanted something different, we didnt want the typical boring ind estate shoot which u see all the time (think out side the box the boss told us, which he knows with me could be one dangerous move, or a stupid idea lol!!!!)a nice run down part of the docks were the salt is sorted, or should i say SALTED ;-) oh yes bad jokes too!!!and like most shoots the glamrous part is always about the waiting around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
