North
Coast Cruisers hosted their second event of 2008 in the East Strand
car park, Portrush. This cruise was in aid of The Road Trauma
Support charity, set up to help victims suffering from loss or
injury due to car accidents and collisions on our roads. With
reports and rumours of previous successful charity events held by
the NCC, this cruise was anticipated to have a huge response and as
promised, an excellent turn out is the best way to describe the mass
amounts of modified cars. With different areas of the car park being
occupied by various sites; Scooby-Ireland, Vauxhall-NI, S44GAN and
the newly formed Turbo-Cruisers site were present and an array of
stylish street cars were on display.
With raffles and prizes
supplied by different companies and a £3 entry fee, we're sure that
NCC were successful in raising a large amount for their charity. A
re-enactment of a car collision was performed with commentary from a
fire-fighter with obvious experience in rescue abilities. A detailed
description and superb example of the capabilities of the Emergency
Services in Northern Ireland re-assured all the car enthusiasts that
they were in safe hands but the vibe we were getting was that no one
was going to be hitting the coast roads in any kind of crazy driving
style. ("Not for a little bit anyway!" - Killen)
Overall a good day was had and DG Cruising would like to thank the NCC for a great day out and hope for more of the same in the near future.
