Basically a bunch of tw@ts keeping the locals awake by roaring around breaking the speed limit without any thought for others. On any Sunday morning you can see bits of bodywork on the road highlighting the lack of driving skill on display.

Things have so bad that the Police and local Council are paying to change the road layout to prevent this pathetic group of muppets gathering for much longer.

I take it you're a regular

LOL, I've regularly considered thowing nails into the road but never stooped that low. Thankfully the powers that be are sorting out the issue, albeit at tax payers expense

I popped over last Saturday night, agreed, lots of idiots, but didnt think it that bad, after all it is away from a residential area.

I agree there are lots of idiots and that along with speeding ofcorse is not a good thing. However not all are idiots and I have been going to places like lakeside for over 10 years and I have not ever had any direct problems, I just enjoy a chat with friends and to look at the cars.

Many years ago i went,i had a lotus sunbeam back then & a rs 2000..... this was before the "arena essex mean street cruise days" must of been 1988 /1990 cosworths all over the place

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Yep, used to go all the time back then. Then the idiots turned up and ruined it. Would normally see their antics on the local news during the week with numerous complaints from the general public.

The night would normally end with cars driving through a snake of people all shouting SPIN IT SPIN IT, followed by clouds of smoke

[Grey Ghost]

To be fair and balanced if I knew there was a gathering where folk would be looking at cars and exchanging views with other enthusiasts on my doorstep I would be there in a flash. The idiots racing about is what spoils such things for me...........god that sounds old

The sad thing is that it is likely to be a minority roaring about to begin with and then turned into the majority whilst the real car fans felt forced out.

Iv also been know to pop there once a year or so.

They all spend there evening parked in tesco or racing up and down the 3 land bit by lakeside car park. Not really my cup of tea these days buy some of the cars you see are worth a good lauf
