The community of motor enthusiasts at Cruise-Herts have been meeting for 17 years - making it the longest-standing car club in the area.

Describing itself as a modified car club, drivers descend upon a nominated area and park up. Usually in a car park after the businesses have closed for the day, the car owners will showcase the modifications made to their vehicles.

From beefing up their engines to bolstering the car's sound systems and from changing the car's shape with a body kit to installing neon lights - the idea is for drivers to be able to display their cars for enthusiasts to admire.

Those attending events are invited to walk around the cars, buy merchandise, share advice and plan further meet-ups.

But, with adrenaline running, high-powered cars and the lure of likes on social media, Thursday night's event turned rogue.

Despite organiser Nix Sidhu pleading with participants not to race - the message did not get through.

He said: "We held the meet in a car park with a speed bump at the entrance. But unfortunately some people went a bit rogue.

"We try and stop that, we urge people - urge them on social media beforehand - not to go out on the roads, not to risk injury or anything.
