Who's Who at the Cruise
Although you get to talk
to lots of people at the Cruise, often you don't know their names
or the cars / trucks that they've come in.
I thought it would be
good to have a place where I could put up some pics / details
so you can match faces & names to vehicles.
If you look back at previous cruise photos
and tell me the month and page
in which your car was featured ; send me an email with some info and
I'll try to put the two together on this page.
If you like this idea, I will post more
photos of you with your vehicle
. . so now it's over to you.

hi Graham, my name is Kenny and I own this 1966 mustang fastback.
It has a 289 motor with a c4 trans
and came with a two barrel carb when new, but it now has a four barrel with
a Edelebrock intake.
Since I have had the car I have got new Torque Thrust D wheels wrapped in
BF Goodrich tyres.
Other mods include a custom made stainless steel exhaust and the body repainted
in new Signal Flare Red.
I've replaced badges, chrome, seals and carpet and fitted new Pocar rally
seats.
Future plans include front disc brakes with power booster and maybe a AOD
trans.
I enjoy the cruise and try not to miss one. Keep up the good work and see
u soon.

Karen and Jim are
pictured here, with their 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up, which they brought
in from Texas, last year.
Power comes from a 5.9cid V8 Magnum and is enhanced by a bigger cold air intake.
Used daily, they also tow a caravan to the shows at weekends throughout the
season.
Not surprised they're smiling !

In Mystic Teal ( blue/green), this 1995
Camaro 3.4 litre, came over from Leeds just last year,
and provides comfortable, speedy and economical motoring for Sue and Pete.
Next time I'll try to get Pete with his eyes open for the photo !

Hi Graham, The blue & white Austin A60
van belongs to Nige & Jane Smith from Crewe.
We have had it for nearly 5 years and are still working on it.
It should of been scrapped but I just wanted one on the road and as I could
not find another,
so the the work began. We take it all over the north west to shows and
we have won a few 1st & 2nd place trophys with it ( the pig van) .
My wife drives it while I take the caravan with the Chevy day van. Best of
both worlds.
Also thanks for the cracking night out at The Nags Head. Regards Nige & Jane

"Hi Graham, Its Tim, I own the white
Dodge Ram dually with the blue neons.
Good to get to the first cruise of 2007, shame about the weather.
I dont get to many as I work away. Did a couple in the summer and hope to
do a few after February
as I will be working near Birmingham hopefully and I'll be travelling up and
down.
A few details on the pickup for your who's who.
It's a 3500 Dodge Ram dually pickup owned by myself, Tim and my wife Angie.
It's a 1996, with a Cummins diesel, its also 4x4 which is why it sits high
up.
I use it daily and also tow a 30ft travel trailer about for me to use at work
( got to have some comforts! ).
We do drag it to a few shows as well. Thats about it, hope to see you all
soon.
All the best, Tim and Angie ".

Gordon: Owner of a 95
Mustang GT V8, I live in Sale [just down the road] and last car was an 83
Trans Am.
Not always had the space for big cars, so we had the front garden removed
!
Still not enough room for a Cadillac, just a compact Mustang and not much
more.
Its got lowered [Steeda springs], Eibach shocks, Ford Racing wishbones Camber
plates, track rods,
Bullit Rims, Magnaflow Exhaust, March Pulleys etc, and I'm still spending
dammit !
