When Lawrence said there was a planned convoy down to Southend for an OLD FELLAS REUNION I really wasnt expecting it to be such an awesome turnout and a proper blast. It was like stepping back in time again when we used to head down their pretty much every weekend. Had a right laugh in the K20 turbo escort, unfortunate I couldnt take the Fez. But it did mean i could concentrate on filming for you guys... next time however I need to get it parked out the front of the Arcades for a better thumbnail pic!

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.

I think they are looking to do 2 a year. Which is best as it will keep the number up. Make it special and not piss off the locals. That said I think all the local shops down there were loving the crowds. The fish and chip shop said they had never seen it so busy down there.

You've probably sorted this out by now but if not, give Need 2 Insure a go. I've both my Mk1 RS's insured with them and have found them to be really stress free and fair. Boncaster who I was with years back refused to insure my car once I fitted a front mount intercooler to replace my chargecooler which adds nothing, if anything power wise. These guys were good as gold. 👍
