Default Cruis'n Telegraph

We went to the 2nd annual Telegraph Cruise last night. It was 90+ degrees and the only time my car got hot is when I was stuck behind some TOOL in a 68 GTX(nice ride, but still a tool) who felt the need to drive 20 under the speed limit, I know it is a cruise but we need to keep moving so we don,t overheat. Anyway, there were alot of cool cars, some hot VETTES, a couple of cold beers, and some hot tail(sorry no pics), Even saw some Forum members cars.
Later, Dave

I was parked next to you until we were tossed out, then it was back on the road.

Glad to see some forum members made it. I thought it would be bumper to bumper traffic and too damn hot. Cruising with the A/C on and windows up just is not the same. Was at Taylor Chevy last year. Nice C-3s there.

We were there around noon for awhile, then we came back around 6 or 630 until they asked us to leave so they could lock up.

Cops everywhere in Oakland County are ruthless. That's why I live in Ann Arbor.

Been there myself when I got locked in at a beach one night!!! Climbing over the fence was easy enough, but getting 400lb of m/cycle out wasn't so easy

$150? As it's a law in your country then our politicians look at it and think "Hmmm, if they can get away with it then so can we", so we get the same type of laws applied to us. There's areas that are now declared as alcohol free & drinking will result in arrest/fine/criminal record. The drinking bans are brought in as a response to drunken & bad behaviour by a small minority, even though there's plenty of laws in place to cope anyway. It's just a lot easier to completely ban drinking, so nobody can have a cold beer on a hot day in those areas (isn't that on a par with the Taliban's laws?). The great western democracies, lands of the free? Yeah, right

The cops in Ann Arbor aren't much better. They can and will yank you over for just about anything.

Absolutely. That's what tailgating is for.

I haven't a clue!!! I'm not a fan of football (a bunch of overpaid, prima-donnas, "Ooh ref, whinge, look, look he pushed me & I've scuffed my boot, whinge"). However, I think drinking is compulsory at Rugby matches?
