I know this should probably be in events, but I heartily applaud the idea so I'm sticking it here. A bunch of the VW scene guys have got fed up with the fact that their cruise at Southend-On-Sea got taken over by more modern machinery. A bit like the Chelsea Cruise... and a bit like the Chelsea Cruise they've decided to go and take it back  So on Friday 28th July they are all heading down to Southend-on-sea. Whats more retros haves been invited as well So go and represent us if you can.. Should be some outstanding machinery down there with Danny Allen, Brian Burrows, Paul Knight and Bernard Newbury all heading out Details here : www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=279647&page=1&pp=10Can someone please go and take some photos |

I'm not sure if I'm working yet, but it sounds like a great idea!

Damn it I'm in Scotland that night, and have to go to Southend at some stage in the next two weeks for a feature. Nightmares will have to hold the RR flag if at all possible, if not maybe he could just park his own cars up... Run around 'em on slow exposure and we'd never know the difference. Sort of mini cruise all of his own...It's a great place for a cruise, probably one of my favourite, along with Scarborough for the same reason. Park up, take in some coffee or ice cream and watch the world go by. Saweeet

I could probably truck this one out....possibly. If I ever get my V5 back! My backlog of barry baiting is practically overflowing....  |

I like the sounds of this, sounds like it could be a hoot..... sadly I doubt I could make it haha.
If it were to happen here, the chaps in the plastic cars would likely applaud a nice line of modded retro's cruising, the older cars actually command a decent level of respect in the modified car community.

Well considering it will be passing my door on the seafront ;D
I could be persuaded yes ;D ;D

Posted it on Turbosport as well so there could well be a nice turnout of Old skool escorts too  ;D |

This is the plan :
"Weve decided the easiest place for everyone to "pre-meet" in the Sainsbury's car park opposite the rayleigh weir pub on the A127
This is really easy to find.
Come down the A127 from the Londone Direction and past the Chelmsford/Canvey Island junction, the road bends round the the left and just after the bend is a slip road that takes you up and alongside the under pass, DO NOT ENTER THE UNDERPASS YOU WILL HAVE GONE TOO FAR, When you get to the top of the slip road take the right hand lane and go over the A127. You will see the Sainbury's on your left.
I suggest we meet in the car park around 6:30 ish and aiming to leave there at 7:30pm ready to arrive at the seafront en-mass."

From my experience - the same is true here aswell, at least among the true car enthusiast cruisers at least - though i'm sure they are somewhat bemused by the more obscure stuff we drive ;D |

I think people are getting their early as a way of reclaiming,.. so if you get there after that, it should already be 'reclaimed' |

Beford and Milton Keynes have been "locked down" apparently Essex could be next  That said, they're usually more interested in the barry's |

The only minor oversight is that the main Croooz (sic) happens on a Saturday night, not Friday !! So the amount of Reclaiming and Chavs vsCool stuff might be slightly less than expected Should still be an Excellent event ;D |
