Ive lost track, I think it was about 4 months of lockdown, 4 months of no hangs. I always have the mindset that it could always be worse, but not having hangs was probably one of the hardest things about this lockdown. Not being able to see and interact with so many mates really takes a toll, was a good reflection on how important human interaction is, the conversations, even just the presence it all plays a part, especially in such a internet dominated world and feeling very divided, being able to see some of the best people I know finally was nothing short of a happy moment, seeing some of the cars that were built during lockdown was a treat and a bonus. Especially Chris’ car, that is one car I think everyone wanted to finally see in the flesh, and especially him previously owning it and repairing the damage, its a pretty special car.

As weird as it sounds, lockdown did have some positives to it, one being how important human interaction is, I’ve gained more of an appreciation for it from going through the adversity of being limited to it. Over the last 8 or so years these hangs have been going, so many friendships have formed as it has grown, the cars are often just a bonus that comes with it but its the first piece of the puzzle that’s needed. Now all that is left is for regional travel to open up so we can go do some drifting !
