Who would have thought being a hooker was so much fun!?

well hello again!

OOO it's been fun down at Fuel HQ the last few days! So here's whats been going on...

Thursday 5th Helen, Lora, Sahar, Teta, Zara and myself made our way down to SE1 club in London for the Secret Cinema preview of the watchmen. This was my first time doing a Secret Cinema gig and I was blown away, these guys put in so much hard work and the finished product was amazing. They turned the street outside into a dirty back street in 1980's New York which continued inside complete with 50's dinner and to top it all off The Gallows playing at the end of the evening.

We of course got to play the hookers/strippers. Outside in the street we got to shout at people and be very very crude. Not much acting was involved there then!
Inside they had built us our very own seedy 80's strip bar which we wrecked within half an hour. The room was mobbed though, people were loving our seedy, drunken stripper antics!

5 bottles of cheap wine, 1 bottle of jack and several drinking games with the Gallows later and we were in a whole new zone! I would love to tell you more but I just don't remember!

On Friday our managers Hannah and Richy woke me up at 8am (sad times) to get cracking with some filming for our new Fuel Girls series on Playboy TV. If you are yet to see it then make sure you check it out every Saturday night at 10:30 on sky channel 900. It's funny as fuck and currently showing all the girls antics in Vegas and on the Gumball Rally. Each episode features a different girl and in the coming weeks it will be my turn. So our first stop was an American car garage where we shot some stuff of me ranting about boy racers in shit cars while I stood inbetween two very dirty, very big V8 engines! Our next stop was Camden where I played with some horse statues and generally ran about with a nasty hangover in a very floaty 50's pin up dress. Make sure you tune in to catch it!

Saturday afternoon Helen, Lora, Sahar and me drove to Middlesbroughfor a show in a massive club called Empire. On our way we drove past our very good friends Chloes house so picked up to come along for the ride. When we arrived there we went to check out the stage, as soon as we saw it we got mega excited about the show. The stage was massive with big red Curtains that opened up and railings around the front to hang off of.

We went on stage at 1am. Sahar opened the show with Avenged Sevenfold's cover of Walk and immediatly the crowd were loving it. Then comes Closer by NIN which was my track, the first time I had done a show like this without my feather fans so it was cool to do something a little different. Then Living Dead Girl by Rob zombie kicks in and Lora busts out the guns and the Jack, thats a winner in any club. Then of course the last of the single stracks is After Dark with Helen thrashing about in several pints of whole milk... hot! Then the finally was as always New Shit to which we smashed out soem massive fire. However that wasn't enough for us! We demanded Slither, pulled out the Champagne and jizzed it all over the crowd, glitter and everything. Byt this point all of us realised that we had completely smashed and the crowd were going fucking wild! We took a bow and the curtains closed! It was a fucking wicked show and we cannot wait to perform there again!

After that we chilled out with a few bottles of Jack and a very hot very very sweaty rock room. God Bless Middlesbrough! We will be back!

So that was the weekends goings on. Fun huh! I am now taking a month off to sort out my car and spend soem well deserved time at home before going back to my favourite girls more ready then ever to smash up some new venues! But keep checking back as I will be keeping you up dated with the Capri action.

Also don't forget to check out this months Redline magazine with a free DVD of me and the girls fucking up some drift cars! woohoo!

V8's and Guiness

Hello again!

Well its it's been a pretty crazy few weeks for the Fuel Girls, as while I was in Paris, the rest of the posse were ripping up Belfast and Vienna having been reunited with the Masters Of Dirt crew. Helen has been really putting the buggy through its paces now that we have had a seat welded to the top of it so Little Susie can sit there fireing t-shirts, freebies and small explosives into the crowd. From what they tell me they were loving it.

After MOD they climbed straight into the Warrior and drove to Liverpool for Revoloutions 1st Birthday. This is the second time we have performed at this night and the girls were mega excited about tearing the place apart and meeting up with the fans we had made first time round. All I can say is, Ive seen the pictures, and fuck it looks messy!

By Friday morning we were up early doing a press call for some Irish papers with all of the shit hot custom bikes at the show. We really love doing the Bike shows, it's a completely different atmosphere and all the guys are so fucking hard core. That afternoon we started the first of three days worth of stage shows on our trusty car catwalk. The highlight of each show was Sahar being brought onto stage on the back of a 5.6 litre V8 bike to Disposable Teens! Get in. This bike was fucking crazy, the engine is bigger then the V8 in the Capri and just sounded fucking sexual!

Other then doing the shows we had a pretty chilled one, no crazy partys and limiting ourselves to just a few pints of Guiness (even a Fuel Girls gotta detox sometimes!). Me and Sahar took sometime out from the shows to watch a display team called the purple helmets who are essentially a bunch of drunk guys doing weird stuff on bikes. It certainly got our approval! We also helped out Mattie Griffin with his bike stunt show as he came at us full throttle on a Suzuki 600, which was fun!

We all flew home Monday afternoon actually dreading a few days off. Life on the road becomes pretty adictive and in the words of Lemmy "People ask me if I've ever been tempted to settle down, but I'm just a road rat. I like being on the move.".

So when I got home I drowned my sorrows with my best friends Ami, Steve and Paul before getting on the Phone to have a chat with Neil from NTS Auto who is currently working on the Capri. I can tell you, I have never been so thankful for a persons existance! He has now got her all wired up and cranking but the spark has been pretty week so tomorow he is gonna clean up the points and then have another go at fireing her up, fingers crossed! He has promised to call me up and leave me a voice message of her running which I think will probably make me cry in all honestly, it's been to long since I heard my baby with some life in her! So after that all that's left is to mount the rad and my powersteering pump and were are 95% there. Shit man I am so excited I can hardly wait, it makes my palms sweaty just thinking about it.

Which is a good point to leave you be I guess. Tomorrow we are at a secret showing of Watchmen where we are pretending to be seedy strippers.... haha. Then on Saturday it's off to Middlesbrough to Empire for a crazy bar show. I will keep you updated!

stay safe

The first of many

Well Hello!

So here it is my first ever entry to my new blog. Maybe I should start by giving you a brief history of me and the Capri of doom.

At 17 I bought my dream car. A standard gloss black, 1987 mkIII Ford Capri.

I had big plans for my baby but I never thought I would be able to achieve them.

However 6 years on and I have the wide arch, matt black, side pipe, V8 bad boy Capri I had wanted to turn her into. With much blood, sweat and tears I now own one of the hottest Capri's in the country.

So these days we spend our time at shows around Europe with the Fuel Girls causing havoc and making a lasting impression on those who get to spend a little time around my Ruby Doom.

So now the introductions are over let me tell you a little about whats been going on lately.

At 5am yesterday morning Fuel boss Richy and I returned home from a week at the Paris tuning show which was eventful as ever. Despite not doing a show and just selling merchandise it was a pretty cool week. On the first day I got to meet our newest Fuel Girl Leonie who is cool as fuck and sooo beautiful. Well I thought that as it was just Leonie and myself there it was up to me to initiate her into the group. After several bottles of wine and Richy making it very clear that we should get an early night we snuck out of our hotel room and headed for the hotel down the road where we knew the Prodrift boys were staying and after years of being a Fuel Girl I know that where there are drift boys and Fuel girls there are big parties!

Well the Prodrift boys were pretty blown away by our new addition Leonie right after she climbed on the pool table doing the crab while they played pool beneath her. Legend.
We were also lucky enought to bump into FMX riders Gille Dejong and Broecky who we had met at Rock and Ride the year before.

Needless to say the next day was just sad times!

Saturday night we went to a famous strip club in Paris called The Pink Paradise which wasn't really all it was made out to be but we had a pretty cool night anyway. By Sunday we were all so tired. Paris is such an insane show with loads of gangs and fights on the saturday and sunday. Towards the end of the day, right after slicing a rather large and rather bloody gash into my thumb and having stitches we had to hide in the centre of the stand as all the gangs were coming in looting all the stock, scary shit!

So to be honest I was pretty glad to get out of there as ever.

However the good news is that my car went to a new garage with a guy called Neil while I was away who is sorting out the remaining problems with the V8 that are just to far over my head. Fingers crossed she will be gracing the streets of Brighton by the beginning of March! I can't wait to hear her start up it makes me feel sick with excitement just thinking about it!

Anyway I'm gonna leave it at that. We leave for a bike and scooter show in Dublin on thursday so there will be mucho havoc to tell you of upon my return!

stay safe!
