It's a really good meet, I was surprised at the amount of cars there last time to say how cold it was.

Oh dear...... another chav fest.

I haven't been here in over 7yrs, and I won't be going back either.

The caraudiosecurity's cars were stunning, but the p ricks in their cars racing around outside on the main road was unbelievable.  Maybe it's my age, maybe not, but what an awful experience.

I didn't think it's that bad. Yes I agree some people act stupid but I'm yet to go to a meet where there isn't someone acting a p rick. And theres some stunning a cars there to. Sorry if you think we're all chavs and aren't up to your standards but like you said you don't need to come again.

Mate, you need to realise I've been on the planet a while, and this is not the first meet I have ever been to.

Are you acting as the sole representative for the people there last night?

You're right, I don't need to go again, thanks for letting me know.

No I'm not acting as the sole representative but it does piss me off when someone comes along and try's to slate something for no good reason. I ran a page on Facebook and asked what people thought of the meet after your comments and it was agreed that one or two were acting up but for the amount that was there I think everyone was well behaved, there's always going to be someone that wants to show off. Lets be honest how many people did you see doing burn out? None. How many did you see drifting? None. How many people did you see doing hand brake slides? None. So apart from a couple of people who were speeding up and down who were probably not nothing to do with the meet, you come on here and slate what is a good meet, people will see your comments and be put off coming and there's no need for it. If you think it was so badly behaved try one of the jap nights up there.

tbh, i think all meets and even shows are crap now, last few vag meets ive been to have been full of dickheads, last few shows ive been to are also full of dickheads or people trying to be 1directions 5th member...

only shows and meets iv enjoyed over the last year have been a few meets ive been to for specialist cars, i.e ferraris, porsche, lambos, etc. and for muscle cars such as mustangs etc. seem to be full of people who actually know about cars and do things "properly", i.e lowering a car for handling not to see how close to the floor you can get.

have to say im one of those who occasionally thinks wtf are you doing to your car!!!! eg there,s a guy driving round in a mk3 lowered on ridiculously small bright pink wheels.  But then i think hang on that car is immaculate he must spend hours looking after it...dam sight more than i do with mine!!!  And thats the point isnt it surely? 

we all love cars but have different ideas about what is and isnt the right way to do things.  My stepson has polo gti...lowered it and then lowered it again,is now rolling the arches and fitting a leather interior, rags it like mad but utterly loves the car and the driving.  To some he's probably regarded and a stupid irresponsible young driver to me he's a car enthusiast who does things differently to me.

Some people want to sit and supp a quiet pint whilst discussing old models...some want get as close to the tarmac as possible and fit a bigger turbo...its called getting old when you just want a quiet pint and everyone else is a dickhead  :grin:
