Cruise Reports
This year we have a good team of staff bringing you Cruise Reports
from all over the UK. If you know of a good cruise that you
think we should attend, then please get in contact.
|
Reading Jap Meet |
 |
|
After going to the last months meet and being
pleasantly surprised by the large turn out of Jap machines, a
few of the Berkshire bunch headed down to Majenski stadium to
have a look around the pacific beasts. |
|
Reading Cruise |
 |
|
The Reading cruise, invaded by the
Midnight-Racing group. A great night out where the
police kept an eye on things but didn't spoil the fun |
|
SOE5 Cruise |
 |
|
Held on the 14th of Feb so nick named the
singles cruise. After some huge convoys the cruise ended
up at the back up location, but was ended early when the
police turned up in force to move everyone on. |
|
Midnight-Racing Xmas 2003 |
 |
|
What better way to finish off 2003 than with a
massive legal cruise! We had people from all over come
to this event and even some special guests! Although the
cruise was cut a little short, a good time was had by all. |
|
Midnight-Racing 2 |
 |
|
In August 2003 we held our second legal cruise
and it turned out to be a massive success. Featuring
some great events like the show and shine, miss wet t-shirt,
1/4 mile drag racing and even some track time... what more
could you ask for from a cruise?! |
|
Ace Cafe Jap night |
 |
|
The Ace Cafe in London is a popular place for
both bike and car meets alike. Midnight-Racing went
along to see what all the fuss is about on one of the Japanese
nights (we're suckers for imports). There is a great
atmosphere and if you are near by make sure you check it out. |
|
Maidstone Cruise (Motorworld) |
 |
|
Thanks to the media and their bad press, the
old Maidstone cruise it no more, but in the true spirit of
things a cruise will never die only get stronger. Check
out the feature by Jodie and help support the Maidstone cruise
scene by coming along one night. |
|
NO-COPS |
 |
|
A completely legal cruise that has all the feel
of a good illegal event. Held on the private grounds of
the wheels raceway in Birmingham, it has since been the
location of some other top cruises. |
|
Bolney Jap Meet 2003 |
 |
|
Held just once a year outside a country pub in
Bolney in Sussex, this meet is jam packed with sweet Japanese
cars from all over the South. To say the turn out was
impressive would be a huge understatement, and it's definitely
an event we will be attending in 2004 |
|
WAM Cruise (Feb 2003) |
 |
|
The convoys had a few problems getting us
there, but we all made it in one piece and had a good night
out. The weather was very cold, but that didn't stop
people turning up in their hundreds. Just a shame the
Pulsar burst the turbo oil feed pipe on the way home. |
|
Play days at York |
 |
|
For me there is nothing better
than combining a cruise with camping and drag racing, and this
is what Play Days was all about. Held at the York Drag
strip, this event made for one amazing weekend! |
|
Newquay Run to the Sun |
 |
|
This is held once a year, but every year on the
last bank holiday weekend in May. What was originally
just for surfers and VW owners is now a weekend for everyone
no matter what you drive. This is one of those events
which you must experience at least once in your life, it's
really a mind blowing weekend you'll never want to end! |
|
South Cruise |
 |
|
Back in 2002 this South Cruise was one of the
best illegal events of the year. Ending up not far from
Winchester both the Mean Street crew and Fast Car were down
there, with even some top magazine cover cars turning up for a
pose. Top night out! |
|
Mean Street Cruise (Essex) |
 |
|
The Mean Street Cruise in Essex is one of the
first legal cruises I know of and they are still going strong
today. Although the entry price on the door is high,
discounts can be had from their website. Definitely one
to attend in the summer, just check out this feature. |
|
Maidstone Cruise (The Bridge) |
 |
|
The Bridge in Maidstone was a cruise scene that
had been going for over 20 years. Then thanks to the
media and complaints from moaning residents the council closed
it down. The cruise on St Peters street was one of the
all time classics and is sadly missed by many. |
