massive turnout last night, with a bit of a Mopar fest. The men in suits were handing out the "official" notification that they want the meet to cease on their property. You can imagine that it`s not been well received by all. So next month it will be interesting to see what develops, as most folks seem adamant to turn up and stick two fingers up to the establishment

Well if you were worried that the cruise will get shut down those two idiots in the dark green Coronet and the orange Challenger probably put the seal on that as they left together in clouds of tyre smoke. Bloody hooligans!

exactly, there was an outcry of horror when the rubber remnants were found on the tarmac

Yes Dave they did and the nice ladies in Pizza Hut were most upset

before I was allowed to buy pizzas for my tea I had to give my promise that I wasn't 'one of those in the big daft cars'

I could only swear to them that I drove a Prius, until I got my dinner that is.

Any ideas where we are going to go after we get chased out of there next month?

Me neither, I was too hypnotised by Andy's new ride and your car Dave.

Then I got accosted by some Polish bloke and his wife. He was asking about prices for bringing American parts into the country for his '71 Buick Boat tailed Riviera, nice fellow, intense and a little scary but owns a Yank so he can't be all bad.

(that's them in the picture next to me and the car)

I was thinking the same about that Coronet Andy.

The view I had I could see right under the back and the massive exhaust pipes bending out each side. Your car looked and sounded great.

I enjoyed that drive onto the A1 better than anything I have done in the car this year. I had the music turned up on my CD player. I just drove like a teenager all the way home and couldn't stop grinning the rest of the night.

Oh. Meant to say. The rear turn signals are rubbish on your car. Are they LED bulbs? If so change them out for proper stop and tails. You could barely tell when they flashed.

Keep going its supposed to be a free country

they can not discriminate if you go to the shops in a septic tank.

I can however understand them getting upset at people for parking in the disabled spaces

Parked badly in the disabled space thank you.

Nowt wrong with the guy or any of his kids in the Pizza Hut behind that I parked next to who had a blue badge on his people carrier.

Anyway. They were the only spaces left and my arm was hurting from all the low speed driving around the park looking for a space.
