A Public Apology

I would like to apologise to everyone who attended todays Croydon meet.

My driving was utterly stupid and reckless, and I may have jeopardised future meets in that area. :roll:

Money will be changing hands regarding this incident.

Please learn from my error and be more aware of the dangers that showing off can lead to.

:(

Rich

happens to the best of us mate, if no-one gets hurt then you just learn from it. they're just cars and can always be repaired, it's only money.

what goes around comes around. hmm. you seemed to go around quite nicely from where i was standing.

i think you have acted sensibly and with honour. if i could have gone round that corner like that i would have.

I wasn't there but I do know that it takes a big man to accept that he's done something wrong & an even bigger man to publicly admit to it without being pressured into it (unlike politicians).
Respect to you Rich. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Hey i was there and it was nice to meet some peeps from the forum at last. All of you are top dudes and thanks Mr Old school P for the coffee :wink:

As for the little blip, it really wasn't that bad at all, and Rich, i dont think you were being silly at all mate. I was there a couple of hours and i saw no one from the Zone chaving around in their car. We all just stood round chatting and watching the bikers do their thing. It was only when we were all leaving that a couple of peeps took that bend a bit fast, but that was in no way an offense worth getting your nuts chopped off for, so i think you should give yourself a break Rich.

By the way whoever ownes that silver M3, that was some bloody nice driving and that M3 is proper fat like me :wink: :wink:

Hopefully thats the end of it all now.
