These "Roundabout Drifters" in Fleet & Farnborough..

[MikeGF]

Keep the noise down when you are out drifting in the early hours, I am trying to sleep....

But it sounds like you are having fun ;-)

Evidence on most large roundabouts in the area now.

What's it all about then??

Cheers
Mike

[Motown Junk]

Blame Lakelord...

[edc]

Whereabouts?

You see the evidence of and hear it quite often at the roundabout by the old Quays.

[MikeGF]

Who's Lakelord?

Near me (I'm in Fleet) the "new" roundabout near Pyestock (Runabout), All around the Kennels Lane/QinetiQ roundabouts, Elvetham Heath Roundabouts, Bourley Road Roundabout, all over really. I find myself actively checking roundabouts for "activity"..

Makes me sound sad really

[edc]

I'm round the corner from Pyestock and just got a new tyre smoker car. Might have to christen it and wake you up

[MikeGF]

edc- ha ha let me know when, I will let you know if I can hear you in Church Crookham, if it's the AMG in your profile I probably will :-D

[Turn7]

You should see the state of the Tring figure of eight roundabout some mornings! Its covered in rubber...

Ive heard them up there at half twelve to one in the summer.

Im almost jealous.

The Peanut roundabout that connects Ascot with Windsor Great Park/ Legoland had a HUGE set of drift marks the whole way round it a few weeks ago.

[JackReacher]

That new Pyestock roundabout does seem to get a lot of action judging from the road surface!

That doesn't bother me but using the EH ones in the middle of the night does, although it's not that frequent luckily. There are some loud tricked up MX5's around which could be the culprits!

[MikeGF]

Hi JackReacher - Yep the new Pysetock one does seem to of taken a hammering.

I guess they move on before the Police arrive?

Someone I know saw some of the culprits on the EH roundabout and said it was "Some older men in posh cars"!!

I know what you mean about the MX5's, there is a green one and gold one which are my main suspects

And yes, maybe I am a bit jealous..

[edc]

The ones at BMW and by the council dump/airport are quite wide ...

[bracken78]

I to have noticed this. Is the Pyestock the round about with 2 exit and entry points... i.e. pointless!

I'll keep an eye out the TVR in Church Crookham.

[Panthro]

I stay late at work (Farnborough business park) so I can get some sideways action on the way home.

[JackReacher]

Maybe it's BMW UK employees checking their cars are still rear wheel drive

I think that roundabout is in preparation for The uk's biggest warehouse storage centre,
Make the most of that road because soon it will be full of lorrys day and night

[Dr Interceptor]

I always try in in the Golf, but the 4wd won't let me have much fun.

Bradfords roundabout down by Farnborough Gate is my favourite, loads of space.

[loose cannon]

Just watch out for the cameras watching you at the end by bradfords garage on big poles not sure if they would see though tbh
There was a story on get Hampshire about drifters and how they had installed cameras to catch the perpetrators,
A young lad down my road claims his m8 was banned , caught red doing it at the roundabout next to bmw headquarters
He was filmed then nicked by plod got a year's ban for dangerous driving, I occasionally here them at night but not so much recently though could just be me in a coma , now I hear late every Sunday night someone burning around on a single piston 4 stroke bike sounds like a moto 3 bike keeps riding around and around in a big circuit but I do sleep with my window open so I hear any racing about, unfortunately my e46 330 tourer doesn't drift at all well otherwise you might be able to blame me for it at some point

[MikeGF]

So, signs of "Activity" on the resurfaced roundabout at the Crookham Crossroads (by the Tescos garage, Fleet) this morning. Tiny roundabout in comparison..

And 2 modified MX5's often seen nearby.



Is it sad I am actively checking roundabouts

[MX-5 Lazza]

It's not me!

[MikeGF]

Ha ha ha MX5-Lazza, wasn't for one minute suggesting it was . 1 green MK1, 1 goold-ish Mk2 in Fleet, both look cracking.

Sure it isn't even them, although I was following the green one once whilst out and he was "enjoying" some of the roundabouts
