yeah it was wicked!

been there a couple of times before but it was never that busy! i was in my green mk1 golf convertible. it got a suprising amount of attention... as i was driving along southend seafront loads of people were sayin stuff like "thats a mk1.. well tidy"

what the fuck was in that red mini? that thing shifted.. plus it was 4-up. sounded a bit like it was supercharged

and that calibra wasn't slow either. shame the skyline boys didn't touch their accelerators

Mart - Come off the A127 (heading towards the M25) at the Basildon Maccys, at the roundabout turn left (so you go past KFC on the left)....At the mini roundabout hook a right........Then the next left...there is about 1/2 mile dead straight....

Everyone parks either side of the road on the curb, and people just go nuts up and down...Gotta admit on Saturday is probably the busiest i've EVER seen it...Had trouble parking on the side of the road it was really that busy

The police didn't even turn up either......that was a bit of a surprise to say the least!

That was a fateful night I lost my Sunroof and Steve blew his engine

On Saturday going down the A127 at a rate of knots with Steve following i had that night kinda stuck in the back of my mind

What motor have you got then? Was it at Tolgate when we were meeting everyone?

SMIT,

I didnt get there till atleast quater to 2 lol.
must say though wen its as busy as that its best just to park up

i live near lakeside n last year every1 raced at the back of BnQ and ikea, it used to get very busy down there n twats that cnt drive used to try n race all the big boys hence there were a few bangs, then people started to organise it better and just let 2 cars drag race at a time that was cool untill they put poxy speed humps all the way down

i went down there wen first got me saph n beat an evo
the guy driving it wernt too happy lol.
