I've just made the following comment on the BBC website -
"I'm 22 years old and I cherish my car, it's the most expensive thing I own and I often take it to shows. I have attended organised meets where you are able to meet up with people, discuss each others cars etc. Bearing in mind that these cars are also hobbies.
I have also been to a cruise where the car park exit was blocked and every driver got a ticket, including the ones just parked up. Now I don't believe in racing, I wouldn't want to damage my car! But why can't the Police punish the ones who are racing and driving dangerously etc and leave the people who are generally there to meet other people and discuss there 'hobbies' alone.
Think about it, when the Police send there entire force in the area down to a car park (no exaggeration!) to issue tickets what could be happening elsewhere? Car theives at work, houses being burgled, people being attaked?"
Just my 2p worth about how the Police tackle these cruises/organised meets all wrong.

Doh! just realised I spelled 'attacked' wrong!
Did anybody watch the 'Roads from hell' on ITV2 on the 30/12, there was a bit about cruises and illegal races. There was one guy in a Fiesta RS Turbo who literally gave the worst interview ever if they want the Police to leave them be. "I love racing, if I crash and I die then I don't care, I'm not going to know am I if I'm dead" - What a w*****!

I put, these documentary's only show the bad side of cruising. they only show the minority that act like fools and trash their cars. how about making a documentary on genuine car enthusiasts who don't act irresponsibly and do have a genuine interest in their car and their car scene.
Also, the way to spell hand brake is hand brake and not hand break. E.g. he applied the hand brake and turned sharply.
haha even the bbc make mistakes:lol:[/quote]
