Gateshead Cruise
Posted: 15 Apr 2010 8:37My local cruise last night. I took the Challenger of course and drove down there quite early after work in heavy traffic. I managed to get there for 6:30pm which made it easy to get parked outside the McDonald's.
The car park was busy with normal traffic anyway (the schools are still closed for the Easter break) so I am glad I got there sharp.
Talked to all the usual guys and a few I had not met before. Not a bad turn out considering it was the first of the season and a very cold night.
On the way home the traffic was lighter and when I saw a Mustang going up the sliproad to join the Motorway I couldn't resist hitting the throttle and blasting past him on the slip road. I glanced down and noted that I was going about 50-60mph faster than him as I past.
