I don't frown upon cars being used like this, if there is a bit of skill involved its entertaining! I.e not some tool driving round in a massive circle spinning up one wheel!

I do get on my high horse a bit when people get carried away in busy areas where there s a risk of hitting a car or a person!

There is a lack of events/meets/situations or whatever in this country where we can mess about and play like that in a legal and safely controlled environment. Basically we have track or drift days, which admittedly are more popular now than ever, yet for the majority they are a bit expensive (or they don't have the kahunas outside of Burger King car park)

But as is always the case with 'car enthusiasts' in this country (and other places I'm sure) there is always a load of prize morons who act like idiots and ruin it for every bugger else!

And CCTV cameras everywhere on business estates (where it would be slightly safer to drive like a hooligan)...

The meet I organised a few years ago was a corker, lot's of bods turned out. There were dirt tracks involved and an acre patch muddy gravel strewn ground used for extensive going around in circles. Some of the old skool Runboard members should remember it :D Wish I could remember my login details, there is some great pics on there!
