    Petrolheads don't grow old, they just get more power!
    That coffe stop departure edit was legit.
    Southend and Maidstone cruises were great in the 90s - I never had a 'highclass' or 'high power' car - I was always in a Mini with 10" weller rims - more power in my amps running a pair of twelves - than the engines had haha. Cruising up in a convoy was superb, gawd dayum - miss those days. Plus, I remember those guys with the bin-lid on a rope in front of that speed camera, just past a spped bump haha.
    Thank you for posting this Mike - brought back a lot of superb memories - for me this is the UK car culture - not the pop-bang crew in carparks.
    Some quality tin.
