00:19We have an issue, we've been pulled off the roundabout, the police are here in full force.
00:24It's escalating quickly, can we meet Paris, rule the car.
00:27They've sent the cavalry.
00:29Oh my god, there's more of them, it's all over guys, it could be all over.
00:33Watch the rest of the video to find out.
00:36I'm Sam Hart and I'm from Fairham in Hampshire which is very close to Portsmouth
00:39and I'm sat in a 1968 Cadillac Hoop-De-Ville
00:43that used to be used by Snoop Dogg to open the MTV Music Awards in 2007.
00:49It has amazing paint that makes the world smile, hydraulic suspension
00:53that makes it jump up and down and a vinyl interior
00:56that is wipe clean just in case the roof doesn't work in the pouring rain.
01:00So this car was found actually abandoned in a field in London
01:04after the closure of the London Motor Museum.
01:07The car itself had mould in it, had a dead fox in the back
01:10and even my valeter threw up in the back of the car trying to clean it.
01:14The car had already been subject to the rust bug, it was completely rusty.
01:19The bottom of the wings were rusty, the bonnet was rusty, the wheel arches.
01:23It was very, very dilapidated so we teamed up with a lovely guy called Jacob
01:27from Lived 9 Lives Customs who helped me renovate this car
01:30and rejuvenate it in just four days.
01:33A full new paint job, we even cleaned up the interior a little bit
01:36and we also got the hydraulic suspension working
01:39as well as that audio system showing us that we are true Snoop Dogg fans
01:43cruising through the streets of Paris on a search for Mr Snoop D-O-double-G.
01:48So basically we went to the amazing town of Paris
01:51or is it the capital of France shall we say
01:54and we managed to cruise around the Arc de Triomphe and that was on our own.
01:58People assumed that we were actually with Snoop Dogg
02:01so they gave us authorisation to drive around the Arc de Triomphe
02:04and they also allowed us to drive down the Chaise de Lyon
02:07which is probably wrong and there's people at home screaming at me right now
02:11saying you're saying it all wrong and I am right, I did get it wrong.
02:15But you know what, we had some fun, we were blaring Snoop D-O-double-G's music
02:18with some missing dog signs and we had a right laugh
02:21but you'll only be able to find out if we actually met him if you watch the
02:24YouTube video which is in the link in the bio below but yeah
02:28it was lots of good fun and do you know what, Snoop has turned things around 30
02:32years ago, there's no way in a million years that
02:35people would ever assume this lovely gentleman
02:37would be gracing the streets holding the Olympic torch but I tell you what
02:40he is family friendly, he is well connected and he is super diverse
02:45and I'm proud to say that I'm a fan of Mr Snoop D-O-double-G.
02:48I'm not going to let you lovely people know if I met him or not
02:52because I went above and beyond, we even got cardboard cutouts
02:55of Mr Snoop D-O-double-G in the entirety, if
02:58he didn't meet him at least we'd have a backup plan but
03:02do you know what, all is not lost just yet,
03:05you have to watch the video because I'm not going to let you know just yet, I'm
03:07not giving you a world exclusive Mr Portsmouth News.
03:15Right let's get out of here, so there we have it guys, we have done the Eiffel Tower,
03:19we have done the Louvre and now it's on to Mr Snoop D-O-double-G's
03:24hotel, hopefully the police have got inside.
03:26Thank you guys for keeping us safe, let's go!
