Leeds Cruise 09/04/24

[stealthstylz]

Noticed a post saying that the Leeds Cruise had started back up again at Skelton Lake services after what appears to be a lot of infighting/squabbling and venue changes etc. Popped through for a quick visit on my way back from the shop and the turnout was pretty good. I'm just gonna do a photo dump as I've not got time for captions, but hopefully as the weather improves it'll get back to how it used to be.

Some neat stuff and you're not wrong about the infighting. What was going on there was the worst kind of "car guy mentality" stuff. Hopefully thats all behind it now and folks can get on with having a proper car meet and no hassles.

Any more photos of that Fury? I do like that.

I assume it was all through social media rather than in person?

I haven't, took a quick snap as I was leaving. Looks tough though, don't often see that era Mopar in bright red.

I only know what I know through social media but there was tales of people getting a little more "in real life" aggy but I don't know how much was the drama llama havig an outing, and how much was genuine, but all very OTT for a car meet. Anyway, history now. I hope

It really is. My mate Al bought it from the builder, I'm sure I've seen a build thread on this forum. Full chassis, 300+bhp Cossie, independent suspension front and rear etc. Apparently the guy is a friend of the Beardmore's and it really shows, and Al isn't a guy who doesn't "use the potential" on the road.

I assume it's because it now has to have a organiser/name to it to satisfy the operators of the services. When it was at BnQ there was never anybody organising it, everybody just knew it was 2nd Saturday. It was only when the police stuck the section 59 order on Leeds that problems started.

To avoid the rerun by proxy, you are on the money.

There was the usual toxic masculinity thing going on with the "never take me alive, copper!" brigade "Lets just go do what we want they can't stop us, its a free country" thing with the other side being more aligned to "we have to behave, we have to park where told, we have to do this...." etc. which was basically "communist dictatorship" and then the services had had enough of it.

Throw in the "people with hot rods and American cars are fine, its people with Japanese and German cars that are the problem, lets ban those kind of cars" thing from some people and it was a storm of chest-beating and angry opinions.

And there was me thinkintg this thread was about that Leeds/UK, when it is probably about one of the eight Leeds in the US?

Think you should have named the thread the Loidis/Leodis in the Celtic kingdom of Elmet cruise to stop any confusion with the US lol.

Have some more pics.
