I don't like this post. I don't really want to have to write it. It makes me feel like a miserable old man. Unfortunately I don't have a choice.
Lets be honest about the facts here.............
We drive sporty rear wheel drive cars....
We might have quite loud engines and turbos and superchargers and exhausts....
Many of us might often drive them like hooligans....
Quite often we might do a bit of roundabout drifting....
Quite often we might punch out of T junctions sideways, tyres squealing....
If you get up to that sort of thing then, go you, It's your choice, your risk, your licence.
The problem comes when you attend a Phoenix Fives event and do it. It's the reputation of the whole group that you effect.
If we want to use nice venues then we need the owner of the venue
not to be saying "I don't want any trouble and I don't want a bunch of boy racers doing wheelspins and upsetting the neighbours." For every one person who enjoys a good skid I guarantee you that there are ten disgruntled neighbours who think you are Satan himself, responsible for killing numerous bunnies and endangering the planet and they WILL complain about it. "How very dare you! Think of the bunnies!"
So here's the rules... I don't want there to be rules. I hate rules.... But if people leave the car park sideways at the end of the night then........ My hands are tied, and not in the enjoyable, Ann Summers, way.
RULESO)
DO NOT DELIBERATELY WHEELSPIN/SLIDE/BREAK TRACTION IN THE EVENT CAR PARK OR THE EXIT/ENTRANCE/BIT OF ROAD JUST OUTSIDE THE VENUE
O)
DO NOT GIVE IT 9,000,000 REVS IN THE EVENT CAR PARK TO SHOW OFF YOUR LOUD EXHAUST, INNIT BRUV
You don't have to act like miserable old men and make less noise than a church mouse.... and you will be get some sympathy if you have some monster nightmare clutch fitted
But..... if you leave/enter an event car park sideways, tyres squealing, then you are going to get a bollocking for it. I get a bollocking from the venue owner so it's only fair that you get a bollocking from me (or Steve, Or Nick, Or if you are really unlucky my missus.)
