Went to southend on me own last night as the imoc MR2 people couldn't be
arsed to meet up even though they said they'd come.

anyway found some MR2 people on the sea front to chat to and about a billion
scooby's but the biggest surprise was a few American style hot rods!

they looked and sounded well good but were driving past sadly, if they were
parked up i'd of gone and had a look. saw a couple of pontiacs down there
looking very cool and a rather nice and meaty sounding Capri with extreamly
fat tyres.

my fave was the street legal mustang drag racer LOL had HUGE! tyres and
sounded mint.

thing that made me smile was the coppers had a lil fenced pen thing set up
and were pulling the odd car into it and qestioning the drivers ect. my car
went past the copper but the Nova behind me got pulled in probably coz of
his silly number plate but the mustang got let past hehe.

past the pen later on and it was all kevved motors in there with gay sun
strips and dumb number plates.


one thing that's confused me since coming back was why does a de-badged
Punto need 4 exhausts?

anyway was fun and there were some mint motors down there as well as some
laughable rubbish, next time i'll take a camera

Done properly they are nice, done badly they are better than the
majority of Kevved cars.

The rodders in the UK and US invented cruising, and it was mobile drive
by round a curcuit of the town.

After trouble with the police, and complaints from locals about causing
traffic chaos, cruisers had to find carparks. Now it has gone full
circle, and cruisers have to keep on the move, becuase of complaints
about them using carparks.

Funnily enough they sound best when a V8 is in motion

Probably a pro streeter with tubbed rear end, narrowed rear axle,
stripped interior, and a cage?
