C4 - Inside Britains illegal boy racer gangs

[RZ1]

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but thought it was interesting.



Don't get me wrong, i went to plenty of car how's back in the day, but in those days it was all about 1 litre Novas, with nice wheels and sounds systems, these days the cars are north of 500bhp and driven far far worse

There was a thread on the same or a similar programme, I had a quick watch and wasn't impressed by the denial that anything might ever go wrong, even when they talked about the guy for whom it had massively gone wrong.

The thing is, that's what everybody, (PHers included) thinks when they're driving at high speeds. if people thought that there was a decent chance that something was going to go wrong with potentially catastrophic consequences, they wouldn't do it.

Yeah it's the same programme. Ben Zand has done a whole series of them - Boy racers, drugs & arms dealers etc etc.
