15th August 2026 - Redhill Cruise
The Northern Invasion Convoy down South
NON H63 SHOWS/EVENTS
Northern Road Trip to Redhill Dream Cars Cruise 2026
The Redhill Dream Cars Cruise…
If you know, you know.
If you don’t… 2026 is your year.
This isn’t just a cruise, it’s the cruise. The biggest, loudest, most unapologetically old-school car takeover in the UK. Redhill turns into pure chaos (the good kind). Streets packed wall-to-wall with American cars, hot rods, muscle, customs, everywhere you look, something worth stopping for.
Engines rumbling, blowers screaming, the smell of fuel hanging in the air. Crowds deep on the pavements, phones out, cameras flashing. It’s loud, busy, slightly unhinged… and that’s exactly why it works.
If it’s got chrome, attitude, or a bit of soul, you’ll find it here.
Round 2… or First Time?
Last year was big. This year? We go again, bigger, louder, better (and maybe slightly more organised).
So here’s the question:
Who’s up for round 2?
And who’s ready to make their virgin run with the Northern convoy?
The Northern Convoy
Long drives in old cars can be a gamble…
That’s why we do it together.
Convoy life means:
Breakdowns turn into pit stops
Someone always has tools (or at least thinks they do)
The journey becomes half the story
And let’s be honest, a line of American cars heading south together just hits different.
We’re calling on everyone up North: Hull, Leeds, Manchester and beyond. Clubs, crews, individuals… if you’re up for it, you’re in.
The Plan (…kind of)
Right now… we’re still in the deciding stage.
There’s a strong case for heading down Friday and making it a full 2-nighter 👀…
but equally, the early Saturday convoy is still very much on the table.
Either way, plans will land soon.
If we roll Saturday (15th August 2026):
Leeds: Skelton Lake Services (M1 J45) – 6:00AM start
Hull / Manchester: TBA
We’ll cruise down steady, linking up along the way.
Woodall Services (M1): ~7:00AM regroup
Breakfast Stop: Red Lion Truckstop, Northampton (around 9–10AM)
Fuel stops will be planned around the smallest tanks—no one gets left behind.
Yes… the M25 is involved.
No… we’re not excited about it.
We’ll survive.
Arrival – Dream Cars HQ
We’ve been invited back again, which says it all.
Expect:
A solid line up of cars
BBQ, music, and a proper chilled atmosphere
A look inside some seriously rare American machinery
Perfect way to ease into the madness.
The Main Event
By late afternoon, Redhill is packed.
Cars rolling, crowds everywhere, cameras out, it just builds and builds.
Parking becomes a mission.
Traffic becomes part of the fun.
And somehow it all works.
It’s loud, busy, chaotic and exactly how it should be.
Sunday – The Recovery
Late morning roll out to Krispy Kreme.
Coffee. Doughnuts. Stories from the night before.
Optional Ace Café stop… because you’re already there.
The Run Home
We’ll head back north around midday, convoy thinning out as people peel off.
Worth It?
Fuel won’t be cheap. Let’s not pretend.
But this isn’t just another meet.
It’s the road trip. The people. The experience.
You’ll come back tired…
Say you’re not doing it again…
And then absolutely do it again.
So…
Round 2 crew—ready?
First timers—this is your moment.
Let’s make 2026 the biggest one yet.
