(WestMids)BBC1 Inside Out last night

[Roamer]

Did anybody see/video this? as it had a piece about cruisers at Merry Hill, but I missed it.

The website writeup is fairly scant, but its here:

i watched most of it last night it was all bollox

they had these idiot rich guys on it saying they do 200 mph in thier R34s and 355s!! lol

and how radar detectors should be banned and gps devices too.

the people they found were the worst bunch of idiots and most of them shouldnt be driving.

Quote:

Speed addicts are looking for a rush of adrenaline, to feel the pull of increasing velocity and to see the landscape fall away behind them.

Paul says: "In the past I’ve probably done up to 180, 190 possibly 200 mph."

These drivers are gambling their own lives, and the innocent lives of others. But knowing this is completely obliterated by their need for adrenaline.

He had a skyline R34

Ive got it on tape - stop spoiling it for me! Maybe the BBC would like to come to Belgium to see how its really done

Its annoying people like them give everyone else a bad name

 

[Roamer]

Mike - keep that tape mate, Id love to see it, may well pop up this w/end for that pint

I saw the article on Merry Hill last night. Personally I wouldnt worry about it giving everyone else bad names.

All the article proved was that there are a number of people of lower intelligence (sorry but they were f**king dense) with no future who only enjoyment in life is driving their hand me down novas.

Sorry for sounding like a snob but if people see some comparison between me driving my 172 and an ugly little tw*t in his Sierra than they cant be that bright themselves.

Let them get on with it. If were lucky they may kill themselves in the process.

Roamer - no problems - Ill make sure it doesnt get Eastendered later. Pints R us m8!

 

[Zidan]

Hello Griff! Long time no hear!

 

[RobFenn]

But Tom was mentioning skylines and 355s?

 

[Roamer]

Looks like "inside-out" did the same sort of piece in each region, so anybody not from the west mids or London see it? and if so what was the local car related story in your area?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Theres a BMW M3 Zcoupe doing doughnuts, thats a mate of mine!!!!!!!!!!

They did one for the North East and it was FOR the cruisers. Strange, same BBC but different area, we even had the police saying they didnt mind what we were up to (eventhough they barracaded the area 2 weeks later!)
