A tradition is a practice, custom, or story that is memorized and passed down from generation to generation, originally without the need for a writing system. Traditions are often presumed to be ancient, unalterable, and deeply important, though they may sometimes be much less "natural" than is presumed. Who are we to stray from the meaning? Colonel Harland Sanders has been providing post show food for us since 2007.
Top Gun, Titanic, ET, King Kong, we all know how they end and car shows are no different. This is one area of our game where “we’ve got this” doesn’t even come close. As 500 hopefuls are sat in a field waiting to see which E38 mod is going to win the raffle this year, we are already in convoy and heading down the A43. As your average sales rep will tell you, travelling up and down the country means you get an unhealthy knowledge of the ‘best’ service stations. We on the other hand could possibly claim to have the best knowledge of “KFC’s near car shows”. A valuable resource to say the least.
There you are happily enjoying your day at work; it’s been quite an easy Sunday. Had the odd family in for a meal after their day out and the drive through has been steady as you would expect being near a main road. An excessively low Volkswagen enters the car park, immediately noticed as it’s not your usual visitor – the day is looking up. However, it’s followed by another, and another, and another. Suddenly the car park is full of sick whips and the queue is out the door – FUCK MY LIFE. I must say the little peeps at KFC were slowly losing their smiles as they realised what they had just let in through their doors.
So let’s look at what we had on this trip. A real life American being the highlight. To say Chris was underwhelmed with the choice on the menu was an understatement. Must do better next time. A close second to our American would be the KFC virgin! How can a 27 year old have never been to a popular southern fried chicken outlet?! This has now been corrected. And then there were all the usual suspects, some of which did their routine ruining of the restrooms. Understandable after the mugs who ruined the toilets at the show and foolishly leaving their belts behind! Good times.
And so to the goodbyes. For the first time too, a photo documenting the event. Hopefully to be treasured by the aforementioned American and virgin. After a series of handshakes and the odd ‘high 5’ it was time to all go our different ways once again. The flat screen TV was half wedged in the bin and as the few rolling burnouts signaled our departure to the KFC staff, we all had the same thing on our mind........
....It's the countdown to Players. See you there kids!
For the rest, see you all back in a field in 12 months time. It's been a pleasure. Tom.
