Passion '08 - 16/03/08 - Click Here for Pictures

“The must see event of the year” was a comment claimed by the Passion Organisers; with Super Cars, Pole Dancers, The Vibe Bass Tunnel, Competitions and Freebies and this isn’t even mentioning the presence of a Striping Stig impersonator (“The reason it isn’t mentioned is really cause it doesn’t bare thinking about” – Gray) and naturally some bangin’ hot modified cars. (“That 1.1 206 did it for me... even though it is a 1.1 206.” – Jonny Stewart)

With a huge crowd coming out to the show, before we had even got inside the King’s Hall we were pulled to one side to see a Party Bus. Unlike the regular “Party” buses this one lived up to its title, with great I.C.E and a pole for me and the boys to practice on (“Something I later discovered was not designed for male use” – Killen). Leaving that we headed inside to see what the show had to offer. Music pumping and a layout of heavily moded vehicles, we were impressed... simple as.

With the presence of an SLR McLaren and a Lamborghini Murcielago, the day was only slightly dimmed with the absence of the expected million pound, one thousand brake horse power, Bugatti Veyron. This disappointment was made up however by the Vibe Tunnel (“Ridiculous bass” – Marty, “It wasn’t good, it just hurt!” – Gray, “I loved it like!” - Nicky) which displayed over 140 speakers, subs and amps and creates the audio industries best interactive show experience!  VIBE have put in over 1,000 man hours, used 3,500 ft of cabling, and spent over £150,000 to produce this amazing 15ft high bass artic. (“Well worth it.” – Jonny Stewart) Providing over 35,000 watts (“Euuuggghhhh” – Nicky) the 40+ MonoBox, BlackBox amplifiers and Deltabox controllers power the impressive new VIBE series of mid range and Subs. (“I’m gettin’ one in the fiesta” – Gray)

There was a giveaway of a VIBE sub and amp for the person who could hold it up at arms length for the longest time...(“With some of the events girls distracting them by whatever means.” - Gray) a disappointing  14 seconds started things off, but the following challengers upped the game, with the amp going to the winner who held out for 42 seconds (“He was a fat guy with bushy pubes, sick wee man” – Nicky).

An amazing day had by all as far as we could see and a good lot of photos have been uploaded thanks to Jonny Stewarts wee brother Callum, who enjoyed his first show, strip experience and mental driving from his older brother, good work our boy, might have you out again if you play nice! The day was rounded up with a Sphinx Kebab, (“We love Sphinx, nice! – DG Cruising) another first for Callum who fucked off to bed as the sorting of the blurry/shit and irrelevant photos from some great shots of some even greater cars began. The Box was an option for an after party... we didn’t go, we’re sad.
