I think the translator's been watching too much "Holy Grail" again.

Er - anyone care to translate in to the queens English?
I can't tell if the translator is trying to do the Queen's English or has just read too many terrible essays from Honors College kids who think they have to use as many lengthy words as possible, regardless of the fact that a less specific and simpler word would usually be clearer.
...probably the latter. Here you go:
One week from today, on Sunday the 10th of October, I expect to see you at blossom athletic center putting the beatdown on Novice class. We all know that an AutoX on paper plates is the coolest thing ever. With this speed rocket your competition has no chance.
Also glad to see you in something other than your previous POS.
Greetings, ninjacoco! I hereby cordially invite thee to join me at the autocross event in San Antonio (!*) on October 10. Autocrossing a car on temporary paper license plates is the best thing since sliced Wensleydale. With such a splendid new car, the other members of n00b class will all be defeated and sink into the swamp. A jolly good time should be had by all.
It is most fortuitous that you have this new automobile instead of that bloody stupid lemon. Good day.
So THAT'S what's on the 10th! I was just about to ask what that was. Where is this? Who? What? Moo?
My heavens! I was about to ask what was on the 10th, but you answered this question for me. Please give me further details about this event as soon as possible.

I'll go if you show me how to use the goshdanged newfangled paddles.
I will [try to, as I was hoping this was somewhere closer like the Castle Anthrax**] make it as long as you show me how to use the paddle-shifters located behind the steering wheel. I have nary a clue as to how to use such a new and unusual technological innovation. Why, such an invention is completely foreign to a person such as myself who is accustomed to driving automobiles with malfunctioning automatic transmissions!
Meddling children, please eversokindly remove thyselves from my lawn!

I think the beatdown's still going to be ON me, not FROM me, though.
I am far more of a n00b than you expect. The other autocrossers will surely fart in my general direction (err, beat me...badly), as I am unaccustomed to driving a vehicle that actually responds when I press the gas pedal.

Yay paper plates! I need to do something lulztastic with it still in paper plates.
Five ("Three, m'lady.")...err, three cheers for this new car! I must find something hilarious to do with this automobile before it has permanent license plates installed.
*I may need to layeth the smacketh down on my homework this week, then. That's quite far. Can't someone have an event in Wacko? Maybe Hewitt? It's a nice pleasant little drive to Hewitt, and that's where the giant breakfast burrito joint is. Please? Beverly Hills, however, is right out. Bloody speedtrap.
