I went to beach hop! Its a hot rod festival held in Whangamata, Nz. It was so much fun. I drove down with my mum and her mate in my dads hot rod. The drive was ok, my mums driving is kinda boring. We were staying with my dads mates. We pulled up and there were all these guys drinking and being rowdy. Most of the guys were like in there 40's and work for a hot rod company called Auto Colour Matrix. But some of them I hadnt seen before. There were these two short dudes in white tee's and covered head to toe n tatoos. Uh oh I think trouble is on its way 
God I wish I had goten photos of these two! But any ways the boys al wanted to go in to town so they chucked us the keys to one of there utes and they all jumped in the other. The ute was so sick! It had te best sound system ever. They had metalica playing.M My mum was complaining about it. Shut up mum. Haha. Some girls just dont understand good music. We drove to some guys house and tried to get him to comeut. Just as we were leaving the cops rolled up. uh oh. Haha they told us of for having people in the back but let us go anyway. We parked up in town and mum and her mate wanted to go get a drink so we went to a bar and let the boys do there thing. Then I saw my dad and he told my mum to come talk to him. he was fumming. He told her to get fukd and all the rest of it. Aparntly we ditched him. He stormed of. I told mum to follow him but he was already gone. We saw all his mates but no one knew where he was. We figured wed stay out because the other boys didnt want any drama so we firgured we wouldnt cause a fuss. All the guys were so nice to me. A few were a bit creepy but one was "being my guardian for the night". They were buying me drinks and dancing with me to the roackabilly band. I was having so muchfun. Just wish my dad had been there. When it came time to leaving the two short guys asked me to stay. "Dont worry well look after ur daughter". I so would have stayed but my feet were killing me cause I was wearing these massive heels. So I left. On the way home we tried looking for the other boys. Man it was funny. It was like a scence out of a zombie movie. Trying to spot the surviours out of the zombies. When we got back the house my mum checked her phone. She said dad had left her a message. I took her phone and listened to it. He said " Ive driven home, Its over, Im moving out". I couldnt believe hed lt me like that 
i knew he was mad at her but to the point where hed drive home ( 3 hours away) in the middle of the night and leave us with all these dodgy dudes. i was devasted.
I tried calling him ovr and over again. He wouldnt answer so I sent him a txt saying sething like " Dad dont leave us. Where are u? please talk to me. ur the only male I trust dont let me down'.
I cant believe I said that! I gues its what im feeling but I never ever say stuff like that!
He didnt answer. So i went to bed crying. Hope none of the boys saw!
The next morning I thaught I heard him. I was so relieved. then I saw my mum and she said he hadnt showed up but then a couple hours later he did! I didnt see him cause heran to set up a stall in the parade for his business. Did he come back for us or just beacuse of his business?
We entered the parade. It was fun. Kinda scary though, having thousands of people stare at u and take photos. After the parade we parked up and went and saw my dads stall. I tried acting all chirpy and stuff cause I didnt know what else to do. Then we told him we were gunna go find some food and wed bring him some. We took the car. When we got food mum pulled up to the side of the road and was like I dont wana find a park so can u run this to ur dad.
I was like um na I have really saw feet can Julie do it (mums friend) s was like dont be stupid mallory just do it. Man i did not want to do it! What was I guna fukn say to him. I walked up to him and ave him the food and said something like man it was hard finding food, iv got to go mum didnt park and he goes na I just wana say sorry for last night just everyones been picking on me. Lets just forget it for today and Ill ake up for it later.
I said ok and walked of. My dad one of the toughest people ive ever meet telling me everyones been picking on him??????? Wtf! My mum said to me once that she really still feels 20 years old. That young people dont realise that old people feel the same just in a different body.
It was like that. Like my dad was this hurt little boy and my mum was this love struck little girl that would do anything for her man but didnt know how to please him. Surely after years of marriage people dont still feel like this?
next to my dads stall was this tall called Shelly J. It was this girl about my age who had made he own clothing range. it was these wicked bad and bow clips and bandanas. All the prints were like skulls and roses. Here slogan was "clothing and accessories for the modern day pin up girl". i loved it. I was so inspired. Definatly someone to keep any eye on.
When my dad put away his stall we walked through town looking at the cars. He knew so many people. It was like every car we looked at he knew some one standing there. He was talking to the guy from petrolhead magazine and he offered for us to me in the magazine but I was to nervous to be in the magazine by myself.Wish my mate kelly had been there. She was my muse while I was on hammo. Shes real pretty but in an alternative style. Iv told her she should do pin up modeling cause the guys I know from these sorts of events would love her!
We were walking past some cafes when we saw the guys we were staying with. It was real akward cause I hadnt been round them with my dad yet. SO it was like a reminder that I was daddys little girl. One of the guys made a joke for him to take my drink of me. It was weird.
We went bac to the house and got ready for town again. It wasnt as fun as the night before cause everyone was stil recovering from the night before. The short bruneete guy covered in tats came over to me a few times to talk but it was a bit weird with dad there. Dad went dancing with me for a bit though which was fun. I allways like dancing with him cause he acts like an idiot and it makes me laugh.
The next morning things seemd back to normal which was good. I wish beach hop would never end. I love being around people who are into the same things as I am.
So now all I can do is sit and wait for anothe year to pass by before beach hop is around again. Next year im hoping kelly will come with me! I rekin dad will let me drive his car next year........ haha uh oh I see trouble!
