yaristurbo Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm sure most of us have been there, local supermarket in our cars, police coming and going.Dicks wheel spinning and hand break turning...Does this still happen or is cruising dead? Quote
pick1 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I was thinking the same thing a couple of years ago u could go out meet a load of your mates n sit and chat n go for a cruise u don't see any of it anymore shame really used to really enjoy cursing round as a group n stopping different places lol Think the chavs may of killed as every copper not things your either a drug dealer or and un-insured tool lol Quote
templar2007 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I think a still get one on a sunday near me Quote
morgey Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Our local club still holds weekly meets at a car park in thetford, just winter no1 comes out as its coldSame happens in great yarmouth on a sunday, although the cops move everybody on about 10:30 Edited February 13, 2013 by morgey Quote
Critic Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 It still happens, and no matter what cruise event it is or where you go these days, there is always one tool in a 1.0 corsa thinking its a v8.. Quote
Amjad Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Never liked cruises, but IMO the car scene is a bit dead compared to how it was. I don't think people can afford it as much nowadays Quote
Critic Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Never liked cruises, but IMO the car scene is a bit dead compared to how it was. I don't think people can afford it as much nowadays It will never be like it used to be like. Back in the day, it was about body kits, sound systems etc.. Now people just paint there wheels and slam it. Done. Plus I do think, it doesn't help with the lack of jobs out there and also people just wanna go for new cars with insurance put in as well from a dealer. Quote
H_D Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Its far from dead up my neck of the woods. It does get quiet in the winter but as soon as the weather gets better we get more people every year Quote
Pobbette Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 We get a few chavvies at the back of tesco car park on a Sunday night, but like you say they are in their 1.0 corsa thinking they are bad. Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 i dont think the car scene is dead but what we know/knew as cruising is dead, you will always get the idiots that waste it by doing wheel spins, but i guess thats what made it funnyits a bit more civilized now, not so much a cruise but a meet and too many people are just banging golfs on fake bbs's and go aw yeah bro thats bauss so low, looks the same as every other golf, each to their own but noone does proper tuning much these days all about pishy remaps actually winds me up coulda went off on one but had to calm myself Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 when the weathers better im gunna be cruising ... Quote
Addymk2 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 There are cruisers cutting around Newbury/Reading still. Usually with a sticker in the back window saying RG-Cruising or something. Not a group I'm associated with tbh, so far I've seen a fat wench in a racing striped corsa with her kid, about 15 Golfs of varying ride height, a billion base spec clios with fuzzy dice and stickers and the daddy of the group... A focus ST that the owner plans on getting resprayed pearlescent. It's pretty shitty to be blunt. :-/ Quote
Addymk2 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 P.S I used to be a regular at Hams Hall before it made the BBC news lol they were good times, rich folks messing around in AMG Mercs against carbon clad turbo'd civics between a pair of roundabouts. Fun times. Quote
