with ya,id say you would attract attention either way with a load of evo's in a convoy,you'd need secure underground parking or summat.

hire me and get me an M16 with an M203 and i will guard them for the night for a reasonable fee

Most of blackpool will be burning by the time you return, but thats no bad thing

Joking aside, if there are half a dozen or more of you, why not hire someone to car sit them?

Im sure for 150 quid you can get someone off here who is local to blackpool to park in the same carpark and watch them for the evening
Only 25 quid each, job jobbed

Will@MSD is a student now, bet he would do it, and he's trustworthy.

tbh there is no proper secure car parks in Blackpool, But there is a car park out side the police station (Central Blackpool) i would think that would be you best bet as there is cctv and police passing all the time.

What about that B&B in the middle of town with it's own set of secure garages for customers? Sean Forsythe will tell you the name of the place, I can't remember.


Pretty sure it was near Syndicate and a ten-pin bowling alley tho.....

I have never ever, ever had a problem parking any of my cars in Central Blackpool. Ever.

That secure parking looks OK, can't say I have ever noticed it.

Smack heads are of little concern to these evo owners I suspect.

They are generally looking for something easy to steal and easy to get rid of, like a hanbag is ideal as its cash, or a mobile phone or a sat nav etc.
Typically car enthusiasts dont make such silly mistakes as to leave such things on display.

I think most evo people would be more concerned by the prowling pikey transit flatbeds than scabby junkies!
