Ah see that sounds like a good meet! As i know what my car sounds like when i rev it up. I went to one in Bristol, the cs people just chatted, but yes exactly what Burp said, it was all going on in the background.
So, meeting up at a pub, take a few pics if possible, have a meal/drink chatting about cars (probably clio's), to me sounds good!
Maybe its an age thing? U just know u would look like a tit if u start rev'in it up and trying to do a wheel spin, in a car park lol!
