I would be happy to open it to them if they would get their ar-ses out of their x5's

Providing the police with the YouTube link should suffice. It's up to them as to whether they pursue it.

They would be silly not to though, the video is clear and the careless/dangerous driving offences are aplenty.

Providing them would be OK provided they did not have the wit to take it down. Which Police authority though that is why I hope some one can provide the location?

qh dear lots of providing s tonight!

It's Ace Cafe, so maybe Harlsden?

Definitely the Met either way.

Wow I seem to be getting a lot of hate..

Apologies if this video offended anyone.

The truth is there were multiple police cars around the meet. They knew exactly what was going on and the event had actually been arranged involving the police (it was actually at another location a few minutes away but got moved mid-way through - not for law-breaking reasons). It basically consisted of several hundred modified cars revving their engines through a tunnel for several hours.

There were no burnouts involved, and none in this video. The only potentially bad thing was the noise. But it's not a residential area. The police were right next to everyone, and it would have been easy to shut the whole thing down.

Other than potential noise complains, there is no illegal activity here.

And to those saying it makes the car culture look bad - there were thousands of people there, it's not such a small minority that likes revving their engines, it's part of the culture for a lot of people.

You're two latest posts have both proved controversial, fefe, keep up the good work, keeps us oldies something to moan about. I go up to the ace about 2 or 3 times each summer when there are plenty of bike meets, good atmosphere, has to be said.

I don't think the 'hate' is directed at you. It's just that some of us aren't convinced that it's the way to treat cars.

The Reading meet Shiny mentioned is sometimes spoiled by the noisy brigade, despite occasional police presence. People gather to talk about motors, but can't hear each other when the bangers are thoughtless enough not to do their thing a reasonable distance away from the majority of us. Picture this: a couple of people in the street are having a quite chat. Someone walks up to them and starts shouting - not at them, just right next to them. You'd think it rude, wouldn't you? Same thing.

As to the roundabout drifters. There's a roundabout I know on an industrial estate where the lads hang out their tails after the factories are closed down for the night. I don't know if it's a public highway, but it doesn't lead through the estate, so no one is inconvenienced. Again, the police often turn up to check out the meetings and no action is taken - or needs to be, really. A bit of common sense, that's all.

Wait until some one in the crowd gets mangled, lets see what the Filth say then as if indeed they were present as suggested.

We're talking about another video, not the one in the original post. Granted, the 2 people revving their engines in that video were also being planks, but they were stationary, and not endangering anyone else.
