Yes my two friends made it there with a Charger and Barracuda.

I didn't actually go myself. I was busy that night. I don't think my Neon would have made much impression. :lol:

That was last Wednesday. At the weekend we have had some very cold weather and snow storms. Not a good time to be out on the road.

hi Dave,
not been on here for a while. It was good to blow the cobwebs out the other night, I thought you might have made it there as it`s not too far from your place. Looks like a regular new venue for first and last Weds of the month - should be nice for cruising the coast road in the summer months :s002:

.

Get yourself along to the MetroCentre cruise tomorrow night (weather permitting :roll:

) the snow has gone and the sun is shining

, but they have salted the roads again I noticed this morning

Hi Neil.
I hope you and Christine are OK?

I was thinking of going to the Metro Center tomorrow night Neil but I might chicken out and wait for warmer weather.
I have to avoid getting a cold for medical reasons as you might imagine. So standing around in freezing temps might not be a wise thing for me to do.

But see what the weather is like. :wink2:

What are the orange panel wagon and the G/AC car? I don't recognize them.

The Orange Wagon is an Austin A35 Van (1956-1968). As seen in Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

The G/AC car is a seriously chopped Ford Anglia 105E (1959–1967).
