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!
