Brighton Cruise - 11/11/00
Brighton Cruise - 11/11/00
This Cruise Report is not yet finished. Please bare with me.
With all the build up off Cruise Central Brighton was sure to be a good night out.
A few of us met up down the A217 past Sutton/Banstead. We were running late, as I had to pick the Digi Cam up. We met up in the Elf petrol station and prepared for the journey down to Clacket Lane. While at the Elf station Neil in a white Escort Turbo decided to be a joker and place illuminous green strips on his wheels.

We was told not much of a turnout down at Claket Lane, but more were expected. We were also told the enterance into Brighton was blocked and to find an alternative route.
We finally arrived at Clacket Lane, when people decided to thrash the hell out of their motors. Burnouts, handbrakes, etc, etc from some people. The old Bill came in and tried blamming all the action on Neil in the Escort Turbo. Neil obviously denied this, and then Neil was asked to remove the green things from his wheels.
We left Clacket Lane with around 10-15 cars. On the way down there my brother decided to over take everything from a Sierra Cossie to R5 Turbo's, and everyone following us in their Sports cars couldn't keep up.
We arrived down to Brighton to find everyone driving about, as Madeira Drive was blocked off by Police presence. We went down to Mac D's to see if anyone was down there, but no sports cars were allowed in, so me and John in the Vectra was OK.
We all then headed back to the sea front, to park up and find out what is happening. While standing round meeting up with everyone else, me and my brother went to meet up with Zoe and her convoy of cars.
Zoe's Escort Cabrio - As Clean As Usual
As we were trying to find her, a bloke infront of us decided to drive into a lampost for some unknown reason. We couldn't understand it as there was nothing infront of him. OH well!!
We all decided to go for a drive about, when we passed a small car park near the sea front. We pulled in there to be told by every car to go to Worthing Multi Story!!
After countless phone calls we managed to make our way to the car park, where we were met by loads of cars with Max Power and Fast Car.
We made our way into the car park, with the question everyone one was thinking - Do we have to pay to get in/out?, and How Do We Get Out if the Police come in?
It turns out the car park is a pay and display, but I don't think anyone will come in and check tickets at 11:00pm.
Dal G's Merc 190E - Do Not Touch or Die
The action begun as we were entering the car park, with burnouts and dumpvalves going off in every direction.
After entering the car park everyone was looking for places to park, but there was so many people standing around, and cars burning out the traffic going in was slow moving.

![]() OK, Now Your Taking The Piss!
All night long, ladies were showing their assetts for the mags, people were burning out and generally everyone was having a laugh.
A few people blew up there cars with a white nova doing the gear box and one even had their exhaust fall off.
There was people running all over the place, just to see the action. OK, I wasn't much better, as I kept knocking people over.
Most the action happened on one floor of the car park, with people parking their cars on the other levels just so they don't get damaged.
There was a few sound systems to look at and a few decent cars, but the main attraction was the burnouts. Even a bike got involved and popped the back tyre. I didn't see any engine bays on display, but some motors were just parked up and left alone.
![]() Going! Going!! Gone!!!
The Police made there presence by driving in/out of the car park once every hour or so, and I will congratulate them on letting us get on with it.....
I just wished my Cossie was there to help out with the burnouts, but the Cossie's rear end has a habbit of waggling and people may have been hurt if they stood in the way.
Sutton Cruise is the next place to be, especially if it is anything like Brighton.
