Time to rave about Kroozin.com's Charity Cruise 2005.

Just got in from this cruise, was a great event.

Got picked up by sted and tony, and off we went to the first meeting point. Waited a little while for everyone to arrive and then set off for St Davids.

Once we got to St Davids, there was alot of nice cars already there and was a nice 10 minutes to stretch our legs before getting on the road again for the cruise.

On the final stretch, me and tony saw our lives flash before our eyes when some chav popped out of nowhere and made sted slide on to the hard shoulder but after a short while, we arrived to a nice big car park surrounded by nice modded cars.

Also nice to see Pete Price there in his smart car with his blue neons haha

At the event, we did the usual, walk, talk and see the mods which were all great. There must have been at least 300 cars there. And I couldnt possibly pick one above the rest, they were all great.

Hope to go to some more like this soon.

<b>Pictures are now in the Gallery :go:

looks like i missed a great nite defo cumin 2 the next 1 on the 26th

ya was good nite all in all and was a bit close wasnt it ade lol i was slightly to blame though (mobile)

Hi, :go:

tony super star for bravin the cold with the photo's, you have taken some great shots.

the event was a strange one really, cold but not much of an atmospher but still a event which we all went to thats the main thing.

some nice cars and and plenty of space, thanks for the police not being there aswell didnt see 1 police car.

Broomster great convoy up i helped by blocking the other lane hehehe, glad i was in that lane actual with sted in the cue some where, the first i saw of him was was he slid past me side ways in the hard shoulder lmao.

I totally agree Sally

Wasnt as good of turn out as the last one I attended. I didnt really get out of the car. Was too cold and Im not very well anyway. A big thankyou to Jim for taking me. I really appreciate it. Huge thankyou to Broomy for leading the convoy (We all manged to stay behind him)

Convoy was not the best I have been on either, as Sally said the roadworks didnt help at all. Cars were all over the place. A few accidents were escaped as the convoy kept slowing down and speeding up dramatically and if it wasnt for the hard shoulder being there to swerve into, cars would have been up the backsides of the ones in front.

Two of our members had a little bump. No damage particually done. Lucky not to hurt with the clowns who were also in the convoy. First we saw of Steds car was when he went flying down the hard shoulder hehe

The 2nd location meeting place was way to small for the size of the convoy on the way to the actual location in Llandudno. Cars were getting stuck in and people were getting lost. I just told Jim to follow the cars infront as the convoy went back on itself.

Had a little drive around chester and I think some peeps attended the rock. I went home because I wasnt well.
All in all though, it was an ok night. Hope the next one can be better organised

Love Laura x

i have to agree with sally and laura wasnt as good as the last one.

nice to broomy for being leader and lettin me go with him.
oh well im sure we will have a better time at the nxt one.

was an ok nite it was all sound till we got to the second meetup point an every just hammered on the motorway luckily my brakes were pretty gud that i managed to stop in time as 5 cars had rozed it past us an gone into the laft lane an slammed on causin a sudden stop i look in my mirror after it bein a close car to see dikky sliddin towards me i just cringed as i heard crunch (not a nice sound thort my take end was a gonna

Pulled onto the hard shoulder after about 7 cars had swerved around us narrowly missin me to get out an hav a look thankfully vicky was ok as she was with me. only damane was a few scuffs which hav cum out with sum polish an a little crack by the boot by overal very lucky.

Must stress wasnt dikkys fault at all it was the nobs in front!

Bk to the cruise an ok nit must admit bin to beta but sum of the cars were nice convoy to chester was sweet an after that had a gud evenin, very eventful

ill post more later

Well what can i say about this event then

Back to the Meet
we finally arrived at the desnation about 8:30ish the carpark as already packed and so i parked up got the camara and off i went to take the pics there was plenty of mint motors there but to be honest i don't think i was as big as the last one, i have to agre with sally as well with her statement.
it was very cold out there and had to warm meself up with a hot choccy from maccy's

will pos more later

First off, I'd like to thank Broomy for excellent convoy leading!

Secondly, Tony, your a star for the photos

The CW convoy to St Davids went along with no problems what so ever, one or two obviously got bored and had a quick srint up the line of cars then settled back into the convoy

Arrived at St Davids round-a-bout to meet up with two more convoys. Bit of a rush as I think we were just joining the back end of the Lymm convoy, obviously what happened was the Lymm leader rang someone at St Davids and said, "we're passing you now" and we had to catch up and follow the tail end. This caused organised chaos! Everyone sprinting onto the motorway, trying to keep with the other convoy. As I was about five cars from the back of the St Davids convoy I had a hell of a lot of catching up to do lol

After a few scares with some drivers obviously not used to driving in large convoys braking late and trying to be the first there, we arrived at another meet up point.
At first I thought it was the final cruise location, then I realised with cars lining the slip road, it was gonna be another convoy

Once again, someone got the signal and it was another free-for-all, I missed a turn off, but managed to find two cars from another cruise site who had also missed the turning, after following them while they rang round people trying to find where it was, I arrived at the location. Plenty of space and well lit, but unfortunatly a distinct lack of noticable cars.

Mostly cars in the process of being modded and cars that had just been started on were there. Although fair to say, there where a few nice motors there.

Left just before ten for a quick drive through Chester with the CW & Chester posse

Personally I say this was a poor event with a serious lack of convoy planning. Altho on the other hand Kroozing.com can look at this as part of a learning curve and hopefully plan better for future events. The potentials definatly there!

Hay guys, just been lookin at the pics from last night, some nice cars, i am sorry i missed it.oh and it's nice to see ur install is up and runnin gadget it's lookin nice.
I am cumin close to gettin my car bk on the road. just few bits to fin off, so i hope to b joining u all very soon.
mal says hi, and says sorry he ant been round to but has been in a nasty crash, hes ok, thank god!. just cant wait to get bk on the road.
well guys, keep up the good work and we hope to b seeing u all soon.

Big thanks to Broomy for leading the convoy and to Tony Mk2 for the photos! Bit of a hairy drive down to the location but arrived safely if a bit late due to a detour with Sanchez i never knew Deganwy was so close! Anyway arrived to the location tonnes of cars spread over the park! Had a good laugh and got off to Chester which was fun!

it was awsome!!!!!!!!!!any1 see me i was in the red escort with the wrc spoiler

i was the 6ft5 giant!!!!!!oh and who saw the rx7 WAT A DRIVER!!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE DOGS B...............LMAO never new u lot were involved!!!!!!

What was the convoy like? awsome i was in king 23s car
How many cars were there?maybe close 2 a 1000
What were the best bits? dont have 2 ask do u how about the bloke in the rx7 drift round 2 people!!!!!lmao
Which car at the cruise stood out from the rest?lancia delta rally car and red flamer supra!!!!!

That Ben's escort Jim? Not seen it with the WRC vent before. Looks like there were some nice cars, loving the install gadget Sorry I couldn't come, was at my dad's 50th.

not even oranised chaos would sum this one. once again we all met on that stupid stretch were there isnt enough room for everyone then a mind grulling 30 minite wacky race towards another location to meet more people then back to some were else by which time every one was lost and very annoyed. this is stupid. next time an event is happening it should just be cruise wirral that turn up by then selves, and the other cruise parties should make there way there, im certaintly not goin to any more of these if a repeat performance is going to happen. cruise was ok though.

I thought it was a fairly decent night, apart from the sardines at the first location and the A55 got a little sketchy where it all went down to 1 lane.

Loved the convoy round Chester Loadsa noisy cars stirring the drunken locals

Also got a nice 7 day producer for my troubles on the way home - on the rock of all places

Firstly to clear up why we went by joining upin a big convoy is because I did not kno were the place was, I do agree tho that it is stupid the amount of cars and is a recipe for disaster. So we will not be doing this again.


I would like to give a big thanks to tony for the photo taking.

Great turnout for cw at are meeting point, what do u guys think of are new meeting point? Was suprised we managed to get 14 cars really as it's not the time for it. Convoy to st davids was sound. Convoy from st davids was another story just too big and was always gonna be to hard to stay in are convoy hence I provisionally told everyone just to follow on a cruiser. Everyone got too cineworld ok anyway but was then just a gridlock of cruisers were people were bound to get lost on the way too the final location.

Considering this was kroozing.com's 1st event I thought it was fab, altho there is that room for improvement mainly on the getting there and convoy front. Great turnout for ya's approx 300 cars. Some lovely, some nice and some not so nice but yoU get that all the time. Cold cold night but nothin can be done about that.

Left nice and early mainly to avoid the gridlock and huge convoys going home and to go play in chesters back yard for a bit which was a laugh.

All in all an ok night, glad we went to support kroozing and got some great pics but also a bit rattled at the organising of the convoy's after st davids.

it was a very cold night and with all the confussion i was ready to do a u-turn back home
I also have to agree with broomy that CW should make there own way to meets from now on that way it will be a safe convoy, DON'T get me wrong though the cruise event ok but i think a little more organization for convoys would be a big inprovement

well what can i say , i really enjoyed it .

BIG THANK YOU TO BROOMY for being such a good convoy leader and the entertainment again!!

lol @ tony_220 for amusing us all *cough*drunkard*cough

bit of a scary convoy , but thats because of the roadworks and various other reasons.

i must say kroozing.com isnt entirley to blame for the lack of organising as the primary location they were going too let them down big style!

Great too see the awesome amount of cw members

overall top night , great to chat to some people ive hardly spoken to before , an i got introduced to Ade aswell !!
