Went many back then, remember clocking 30k miles one year doing shows, cruises...
Did Crewe, Hanley, Stockport, Blackpool, Southport, etc etc with Cruise Northwest, it was all word of mouth back then... I was earning £400 a week back then living at home
Used to chuck some good flames out of the back flicking the ignition on and off at 30mph in 2nd gear...

I just spent my wages on my car modifying, insurance was £1600 Tpft back then, fuel
Driving is all I wanted to do when growing up, at 15 I owned 3 cars... at 17 sold 2 Sierra estates on and concentrated on my first Orion...
Met the misses at a Stockport cruise back in 2001... unbelievably we lived less than a mile away from each other in sunny Crewe
16 years on we're married, house, littlen
Did take 12 years for us to get married didn't wanna rush
