aardvark101 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 As a result of the big meet up on Southend sea front recently,the council have been given powers to disperse any group of three or more vehicles acording to the report on the t.v this morning.Another blow for the motoring enthusiast,and another nail in Southends rotton coffin.

Vista Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 And another reason why people need to take requests to behave at car meets seriously. Leaving in a cloud of blue smoke may make for entertaining YouTube footage for prepubescent teenagers but it's a sure fire way of alienating residents, who complain to police and council who then have all the evidence they need conveniently uploaded to forums, YouTube and Retards Club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloudboy Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 We are still having problems with people burning out at our essex meet we have signs and some of us stand at the exit to stop u tell people and they laugh I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmarshall Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is it people from this forum doing burnouts? I'd like to know why they do it when it is obviously clear that it will put an end to the meet (if the council do enforce their ruling). Do they think anyone is impressed? Do they think others at the meet will think they're cool? Are they purposely trying to get everyone banned? There's a time and a place, and if they have any respect whatsoever they'll knock the burnouts on the head before it gets ruined for everyone else.. TBH I don't get it either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandq Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 the same thing is happening at the ace cafe, they have been warned they will be closed down if unsociable activity with vehicles continues, i used to go to loads of cruises when i was young, but one by one they were outlawed because mainly boy racers were turning up and doing stupid things. now just as car meets are getting popular again the same thing is happening. how stupid can people be?

HotRodMatt Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Problem is Joe Public/Plod don't see the difference between a lowered Mk2 Cortina/Escort/Capri with a loud exhaust on Minilights and a boy racer Corsa: they both gather in carparks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRodMatt Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yep true. Certainly both parties are guilty at Leeds cruise. Bikers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Don't think banning offenders from meets will do much good as damage is already done. Maybe an option? Name and shame on the necessary forums? Stop the idiots spoiling it for everyone else! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vista Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 John's meet at the Jolly Farmer has issues with this going on, including from members on here. I don't know if he still gets grief from the local police about it but certainly I used to despite being some 250 miles away. It's a shame but is the main reason I don't want the site's name associated with events where this sort of thing goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Transplanter Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 The minority spoiling it for others has been going on for years and it will never change! I dont think there is an answer, apart from the organisers having a quiet word to let the offenders know its not acceptable. But they will most likely be told where to go whilst being left in tyre smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those meets, for the most part, had nothing to do with us. We disassociated ourself with the Ace Cafe a long time ago as none of the then admin staff on here had the time to attend and organise events there. The cafe itself continued to promote the event as an OSF meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettp Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Why don't they just help organise it this really really fu..ks me off they could even charge have it as a proper show and make some money for charity I appreciate they car have rolling burn outs every where but just to ban everything talk about fun police they only need to put a couple of old bill with a camera phone to stop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 It is annoying for residents though - we live by a junction on an A road and most weekend nights you get bikers and scrotes in 'hot hatches' burning rubber as they pull out. It wears thin quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtorag Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 two things I see here first im 46 and young enough to have done and still would the odd time lay some rubber down secondly why is everyone getting all high and almighty about this..first one never to do it at all ever can complain I think we are all guilty.. ( me I like to see a rwd car under control slip a nice broadside be it a twink Toyota or mk2 escort etc) now solution maybe are mini removable road bumps a council can provide or as with the iec mourne run maybe pc plod should ask for all attendance vehicle details as in with parades commission application because that is what it takes in N.I. for a run or meet... it pisses me off to hear the "oh I never done that brigade "act all high almighty but having said that IF a venue asks attendees NOT to leave in such manner then they SHOULD abide by that choice as they are helping promote you past time kenny ps :yes I know that response will piss a few off but maybe a free speech isn't a bad thing in this pc world now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the organisers don't want it and ask attendees not to do it, then some of those attendees do it anyway, then clearly the offenders don't really care about the long term future of the event. Only how "good" they can look for the camera toting spectators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l j shaw Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 My Anglia produces 26bhp at the wheels ......burn outs are just a dream ....if I leave a show in a cloud of smoke means I've got some engine repairs to do lol lol Been to the Ace cafe a few times when the meet was on...great meet, shame about the activities on the road out side. i can understand local residence protesting about these activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtorag Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I agree whole heartedly vista if orginiser or venue host requests no messing well it should apply thankfully in Ireland the ford men are more into runs like the Lakeland run over there and during the course there are enough places to slip the tail etc leaving shows they don't do the line lock or doughnuts but maybe a few will drift down the road.usually we have mashals standing everywhere stopping traffic or kinda blocking the shitheads from doing such crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Some of the shows I have attended on arrival you are told the rules don't like them then f---k off. If you break the rules you will be banned and from any other show that they know the organisers of! If the individual is a member of a club depending the severity of the rule break the club is banned. We are supposed to be mature car owners, well maybe just in age in some cases. But if there are rules to keep things going respect them or pay the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
