Brilliant Mike, for the last 15 minutes you took me back to the good old days. Thanks.

Brought back so many memories for me too. Loved it

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.

So much nostalgia, 55 year old remember everything, down most weeks, mr bs and cars Live in Somerset now...those old cars still make me smile..keep posting..

Mate epic video just cuz we are older doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy are hobbies just means we have more money now to spend on them and now time as gone on we can improve them with more power 💪😂😂😂

Fantastic video.. I spent so much of my younger days in Southend on the front... love it!!

man I miss those days in the 90's,Thurrock to Southend cruises, dodging the old bill, no anpr too,great memories, glad to see the vibes still alive

Great video Mike, takes me back to the AXGT days 😎 Try Keith Michaels for insurance, Gary Moulson has always looked after me on my modified Impreza type R 👌🏻

Great video, I'm with Adrian Flux for my classic car insurance...... All mods are declared with no NC bonus as i use that on my day to day car 160pounds for the year on a mk1 escort with agreed evaluation but i did hear that insurance is going up but i must of got lucky, hope you get it all sorted out

Gorgeous old school days.. the dream lives on 😊

I was there for this, fortunately for me it's 20 mins up the road, was a great turn out like how it was back in the day, hopefully the first of many.

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. 👍
