that sorta proves itself that cruisers aint bad ppl cause i wuda expected him to have an "accident" if he said that about other groups of ppl

i believe that some people did actually have their cars impounded. he came onto our cruise forums and posted saying that we shouldnt attend cruise's etc.... now i am all for legal cruising and improving police cruiser relations but the way he goes about it just doesnt help.

his whole approach and attitude towards cruising is at the very least, way OTT innit!
but unfortunately, he has somehow enforced certain laws i.e the old illegal rave act from the 80s so it covers all types of people 'so called' causing a nuisance, and even more annoying, is that he is encouraging other constabularies to adopt the same zero tolerance policy on cruisers, grrrrr

though i have to say, that i fully support the weston wheels event as a legal 'show' and see this getting better every year if we all put forward our suggestions etc

a seriose convo on the go

to be honest I can see the whole illegal crusie becoming almost vigilante ie if Mr Nova boy starts being silly and a nusance then someone else there going to have 'words' and the whole thing escalates from there. Which would play right into the police hands illegal crusies cause violence etc etc.

I'm surprised that alot of food joints with carparks dont realise the money potential and arrange 'mini offical cruises'

its surprising how much it costs to do a legal cruise paul. gareth from cruisewales managed it with funding from meanstreet. it costs literally thousands and thousands. chloe how come u wasnt at meanstreet wales?

yah your right i guess. just thinking about it if I was the manager of resurant premises would i really object to wot 20/25 cars parked up on my tarmac if I was getting moeny from them ? would wonder what the police would do if they turned up and were told they weren't required ? hmmmm
dont get me wrong I think the poilce do a good job in most instances and get alot of stick for a job that not many poeple wnat to do .... i just think that in certain instances common sense can fly out the window. (not just in crusing circumstances)

hehe 20 odd cars isnt very many really and i doubt maccyd's will go mad because of that, but when a few hundred cars turn up and cause havoc in somewhere like tesco i can sort of see their point lol. but its fun.

Is that a nissan micra I can see in that pic (the red one!)
Looks like a pic of a supermarket car park on a regular saturday night! (Apart from the little crowd of peeps!)

I just sure hope the nissan micra owner was in the supermarket and not at the cruise!

chloe how come u wasnt at meanstreet wales?

:rolleyes: ummm bit of a long story, well i was actually busy that nite, but on principal matters, last June my fiesta was damaged at a meanstreets event at the Arena Essex venue, and since then its turned into a long running dispute between myself and the organiser.
Are u all aware that even tho u pay a substantial entry fee to the event; their events insurance does not cover your car for any damage should such damage occur?
a car didnt hit mine, but it dohnuted in the show arena and showered mine with ground debris

I have many happy memories of years policing the huge monthly legal cruise in Battersea, we all got on great and had many hours of fun, especially because I loved to see all the suped up gems and got the chance to check out most of the motors

Clean car + Sun = topless most of today, about 2.5 degrees, mad looks from people and bracing wind down the M23 motorway, but oh soo loovely!

What I really needed was my Ski Jacket and Oakley wrap round glasses on instead of the thin fleece I was wearing and glare from the sun, but tomorrow I'll be more prepared

well this wasnt organised by simon. however he did fund it. to be honest i wasnt impressed because it rained etc........ but this years should be better.
