This is a different kettle of fish imo, although sounds like good fun and i'd like to go watch, drifting on roundabouts and speeding on public roads is one thing that I could understand the rossers banning, but a civilised BBQ on the beach, or a meet up for lunch is something I cannot. When the MG lot go for a meet, we don't exactly hack it around roundabouts and do do-nuts or wheelspins in the car park (with the exception of a certain person, *cough* jake *cough* ), we enjoy the company of like minded people and talk about our cars. This is something I can't get my head around what's wrong with. Banning people hogging roundabouts I can understand- we all pay road tax and we all have an equal right to use the road without feeling awkward because it's been turned into a play ground. But we also have the right to drive LEGALLY on the road in convoy. What harm is that doing to anyone?
