AMERICAN AUTO MAGS' CRUISE
DECEMBER 6th, 2006
We set off from the office about
5.30 as usual and the drive to the M6 wasn't bad
but then we hit gridlock...We
didn't get to the Nags Head til 6.35 !
Manchester United were playing in the European Cup ( is that right ?
)
and it was bumper-to-bumper the whole way.
About half a mile from the pub, Cameron's mobile rang and it was Kev
Swindley
just wandering where we were. We told him we were just about 15 minutes
away
and when we actually arrived, there was a drink waiting for us - thanks
Kev, it was
more than welcome.
One little funny story. We saw various fellas jumping out of cars and
running
behind hedges to relieve themselves. no problem cos the traffic was
hardly moving.
But then, one poor lad disappeared behind the bushes just as the traffic
started to move . . and kept moving. Well, this fella did what he had
to do,
but when he got back to the road, all he could see was his 'ride'
disappearing into the distance ! He started running, but the traffic
kept moving.
This was just before we reached the pub and, after perhaps a quarter
of a mile,
he was still trying to catch up as we pulled off the road.
Hope he didn't have to run all the way to Old Trafford !
Gotta say, now
we were aware of the traffic situation and the fact that the weather
had been rain & shine, on and off, all day long, we didn't think
there would be many folk coming out . . how wrong we were !
Andy is usually one of the first
to arrive and tonight was no exception.
I told Brad that I'd taken a photo of his car at the last Cruise but
I didn't like the angle I'd got ; it just wasn't right.
Tonight, I think I got it spot-on !
