Weston wheels was an attempt at a 'legal cruise' but everyone thought it was a show and slagged it off. The police really tried to make it work (even down to meeting with me and Chip!) but there will never ever be a legalized cruise, or a coned off 'play pen'.
The dickheads have ruined these type of events since the dawn of time and unless they become self policing this kind of shit will keep happening. The main problem is that a lot of people go to cruises to see the dickheads in action!

Its quite frustration how hard at that point the police were trying to genuinely help some of the organisers of big cruises and how every time they did it go thrown back in their face by people going too far.
I agree, its NEVER going to end up legalised, too many people have been hurt or killed as a result of the chav idiots and its just a total health and safety nightmare legally.

Lets try and drive as fast as we can in the dark down a road with cars comming in opposite directions and people all over the shop rather than, lets find somewhere with lots of space where there is no one and nothing for us to hit and then show off.
To many prats with no skill.

Agreed, I have nothing against people having a play, but people just don't seem to have any common sence.

sure ive got away with small 4wd drifts off roundabouts etc but you minimise the risk, ie not in traffic, quiet areas, nobody around, not too fast, big spaces etc.

I saw the crash, happened right in front of me. Saw the couple of nice Cossies that night too, though if you mean the imperial blue Escos with the white comps and what sounded like an external wastegate was RWD then I saw no signs of it! Was quick though.
Crash was a Celica GT4 that lost it on a oil slick supposedly left by a Cossie (lol).
Guy lost control and was snaking down the road badly till he lost it, must have been doing 50+mph?
Hit a VW Polo (no passengers) and pushed it up a 2ft curb and buckled both wheels (BBS Split rims
) under it. Celica fooked as was Polo.
To be fair there was a MASSIVE slick of oil down the strip...but then apparentely there was a guy telling people to slow down because there was a massive oil slick.

Yes Warren, that is exactly what I am saying!! It is like motorsport, most people only watch it for the crashes ..
But in all seriousness, I agree it is a bad idea having grown up, I'm 28 now and stay well away from anything to do with the cruise/street racing scene, as i'm sure you realize as you grow up you change! The point I was making is the general feeling of organized/ legal cruises is that it just ends up with lots of cars parked up sat around, and the attraction of the illegal street racing is the action, which you will never get on a legal event. Hence why they never took off!
