where is there any sort of cruises in the north east these days??
remember a few year back it used to be spillers then the arnsion centre and shields and stuff but is there anywhere that gets busy now?
heard teeside park gets busy on a wednesday but is it all 1.0 litre corsas and stuff?
only reason i ask is i should have the escort back on the road soon and its been ages since ive had a bit drive about.

Graceland

Spillers - now THAT is a blast from the past

Cruises are dead - what with the advent of Section 59

turbo_3dr_tommy

spillers used to be awsome

paul16v

Spillers used to be awesome years ago as did Roker & morrisons car park, my mate got a solicitors letter off morrisons for doing doughnuts in his saph in there carpark

Graceland

I only went a couple of times to Spillers so wasn't there to see the lad being killed

The Brighouse cruise down the industrial park with a 1/4 mile strip was good untill the police moved us on and 2 lads were killed on the A58 at Hipperholme after being told to move on by the police

Spillers was a good place back in the day, all went tits up after the lad on the bike was killed, that was a very grim night, something I never want to see again


Graceland - I remember seeing you once at Scarborough cruise (well I think it was you LOL)

turbo_3dr_tommy

Team Valley used to get busy aswell I remeber going down there in me 3dr

.Ross.

iTrader: (2)

Never hit T-Valley like ..

So is there anywhere to go apart from Tee-side-Park?

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Yeah we used to go down there a lot too. Then later in the night used to end up in the underground car park in Newcastle city.

I remember meeting you with James at Bishop, think it was in Morrisons after the Bostonian car park got closed down.

turbo_3dr_tommy

aye i think i had me 3dr then used to go down in me RST before that aswell

Alps Pacino

I'd say no t park on a wednesday is about as good as it gets

bazpro

might have a drive down teeside when i get the car back.
used to go to spillers every saturday night about 5-6 year ago and it was mint but only had a 1.4 corsa at the time so couldnt race owt!!!!
remember seeing a old burgandy audi 80 on steelies down there a few times and it was quick as!! cant remember seeing anything beat it.
there was a nice red renault 5 turbo there a few times aswell which was quick aswell.

remember last year there was a bit of a meet at B@Q in durham on a sunday which got really busy but was loads of people going a bit daft so it probs got shut down.

safcdixon

.Ross.

iTrader: (2)

nickywarwick

christ this is a blast from the past, i used to go to south sheilds beach front, silverlink, arnison center, team valley, sum place down by a river pitch black was scary that only went once. a few tend to go to kfc car park in durham & shift on to the ind est behind when they get moved on. the galleries went through a phase aswell but tbh ive never been to any in ages. x

.Ross.

Never knew you when you had your RST, only ever remember your 3dr and James Escort Cossie.

Graceland

Scarboro cruise was good too on the front and sometimes at Olivers Mount.

Wasn't it that ugly cunt Macky who organised all of those ones?

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

I thought it was Caroline who used to organise the Scarborough cruises, who is Macky ? Was he on Cruiseboard ?

nickywarwick

we used to have a rite mini rs meet at the arnison center used to be mine & my mates s2's, & atleast 3 other of my mates with saph cossies & my mates mate with an escos

Graceland

Macky was some propper weird kid who thought he ran the towns cruise IIRC - lives scarboro way and was on cruiseboard as Macky I think

.Ross.

iTrader: (2)

Aye ... Barrier's up now .. Close at 21:30 everynight .. Was there today ..

Get quite a few going ...

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Was some nice RS's used to go up Arnison Centre, had some laugh's up there ! I used to go there as passenger of a silver Scooby or my little Zetec.


PMSL I cant place him, tho his name is starting to ring a bell from Cruiseboard.

Graceland - You dont mean Macca do you ? He used to organise the Boro Cruises, I think some where at Seaton Carew and some at the car park in Boro (cant remember its name)

BigErn

The good old days down Morrisons and the Block Yards were class. Just before my time of driving (legally) but used to always be there week in week out. The old lap round Sunderland town centre was cool too before they fucked it up with all the 1 way systems. Spillers was cool too till that lad got killed. Now theres nowhere to go, its all 1.0 cars with air filters and bodykits on now.

Graceland

Definately not a Macca - I'll see if I can remember

BigErn

Macca rings bells for some reason.

nickywarwick

i cant wait till i get my new rs, will have to find sumore cruises, we shud arange 1 haha, a drive about to get peaple to follow & park up, get a new place

Cossie Helen

iTrader: (1)

Did you used to go to Boro Cruises? A lad called Macca organised them, no idea of his real name

Rex Kramer

iTrader: (1)

I remember going there once and someone setting fire to a nova, i think. used to get pretty busy.

Oh, i've got a key to the gate now

BigErn

Yeah Helen, I used to get to them all over the place.

Can anyone remember the group of lads on BMX's who use to always be at Morrisons car park and the block yards too?
