National Cruise 2 27th April
Well we set off at 6.45 heading towards frankley services for a 7.15 leave . we managed to get there on time , and there was a good turn out . 7.20 came a few phone calls were made and we set off m5 north towards stafford services .
      
The weather was drizzling but that never put nobody off as the convoy aprox 100-150 slowly cruised up the motorway the weather slowly got worse and worse . We stopped off at Hilton Park services to meet another convoy of aprox 100 and then we headed back out onto the motorway again .
      
Then at 8.30 after an hr 10 min of driving we eventually made it to Stafford Serivces(south). As the cars kept comin the rain fell more , but they still kept on comin . The police were hardly seen a few cop cars made the odd apperance just checking up on things . quite a fair bit a action including a new mini doin a rather long burn out . Next it was me mates turn in his ax to get everyone on the toes by producing soem rather loads flames from the rear. Alot of top class motors turned up includinga rather nice 106 quicksilver , there were gav in his corsa , also some good systems all though many people by this time had dashed inside to grab some food , and get out of the pooring rain , by the time i came out a few car had started to move , still a few cars showing there rather nice systems off , but by the time 10.00 came enough was enough as u could even stand out side your car , the rain came pissing down , and that was the end of the nite for many . Car after car we eventually made our way out and set off down the m6 home .
      
All in all considering it was all cancelled just a day before gav done a real good job and if it werent for the weather i sure it would have been a top cruise .

| HERTS ATTACK
26 May, 2001
If theres a way to waste taxpayers money then Herts Police certainly managed it in Watford. They were already there when I arrived, quite early, which is fair enough. Besides all they were doing was sitting and watching.
By around 7:45 the meeting point was heaving with loads of tasty modded motors and it wasnt long before a police helicopter appeared and circled above us.
The cruise stayed at Sainsburys for about half-an-hour then moved on to Costcos, but our plans were scuppered when a load of Eddie Stobart lorries turned up for what looked like their own get together. We then headed for Tescos, but Old Bill had beaten us to it. Of course, when youve got 250+ cars with nowhere to go, the local ring roads transform into racetracks. Not that this bothered the Bab, because from the looks of it Hertfordshire Constabulary pissed their annual overtime budget in just one night.
Eventually we found another venue, where the cozzers left us alone. Great, we thought, until they turned the lights out! After half of the cruisers had disappeared we figured theyd gone to Jarmon Park in Hemel Hempstead. I decided to lead a convoy over there and nearly had the front of my little Pug removed by an impatient copper for my troubles.
Everyone agreed that the evenings policing left a lot to be desired. Their attitude was appalling and I was even sworn at on several occasions. Fred West would probably be treated with less contempt!
On the plus side there were some top motors including the awesome Type K Nova Turbo on 18s and a stunning Corsa freshly out of the paintshop.
Overall it was a good night, plenty of tasty motors and willing ladies! Just a shame about the police.
