Guess what? I went to Ultimate Dickheads for the first time, and here is my report.
First off, we had to clean Zi's car. The night before we put some actual wheels on it, and made sure it actually started and did general car like movements. After all, it had been on axel stands the past 3 months.

Then when we got about 3 miles outside the actual show, came the queues. OH THE QUEUES.

3 Hours. 3, f**king, HOURS. And of course, Zi hadn't replaced the dirty water in the coolant system since the last pipe bursting incident...

So I spent a fair bit of time pushing this. In fairness, it did highlight one of the main reasons I love the VW Crowd. A few of the older cars were starting to feel the heat in the Queue, and literally everyone was coming over and offering help.

When I finally got in I took some very bad dark photos of the cars that caught my eye.

This was awesome. Hand controls as well!

So, would I go again? No. It was a surprisingly big show, and pretty good. But as with all the "Big" shows, there were just too many people and too many w**k cars in the show and shine bit. If they took their time and hand picked what did and didnt make it in (Much like at Players Classic) you just end up with a better show. Also, £15?! Sorry, that is way too much.
Oh, and the traffic was shite. As per the video below...
