Special K 442 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 As the meeting point is only 20 mins from me I'll see you all there... ... the map shows the wrong place (Hotel) - use the postcode for Thurrock Services.. Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suggestable 14 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 What an amazing night that turned out to be! I went to the Kream Paul Walker Tribute Cruise last night, which was a disaster. We were meant to meet up in East London around 6pm. We didn't actually leave the meet point until 9:40pm, by which point I'd been there for 5h20m (I arrived *really* early!) and was rather bored (and in need of a "comfort break" - and there were no toilets nearby!). When we finally left, we convoyed through to central London, then hit a massive traffic jam caused by an accident (unrelated to the cruise, thankfully!) and had to make a major detour. By the time we got to the final meet point (Battersea Park) we found it had closed. The Facebook event page was hardly ever updated... and when it was it was people complaining about the poor organisation. After circling around parts of central London I gave up and went home. If I hadn't had the fortune of having a passenger/navigator with me, I'd have given up long before I did. Hopefully the next cruise I attend will be better-run and there won't be as much frustration. At the end of the day, I left with some happy memories and a cool decal for my car as a tribute to Paul Walker. I had to clean part of the bonnet to apply it and only realised just how dirty my bonnet was *after* I had rubbed off the dirt and polished the area with my sleeve. It'll wash out, so I'm not that peeved, but I had no idea just how dirty the car was... yay for driving a black car! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
