I believe "driving on the road" was likely to be another reason the residents would have given. Got a warning to check my rears about 10 mins outside of the final meet spot.

Its a charity cruise, and they start defecting. Oh there will be a letter in the paper about this one!

Every single old bat that I drove past through the hills just looked and stared in shock and horror as I drove by in my totally stock standard quiet car... had a good lol everytime, received honks and mid fingers from oncoming traffic aswell.

Stopped dead in the middle of the road at this one straight section because a pair of emus decided to walk slowly across, I stopped and honked and one of them turned and poked its head forward as if it was about to run at me to attack ;)

reckless driving as in burnouts/ loud take offs ?

Or the other reckless driving as in doing a fart , driving over 2300rpms, starting up your car, etc etc ? grandma spec reckless driving >?

anyone witness it ?

i can vouch, douchebags stopping to rip skids up the corkscrew, had a rexy all over both lanes in front of me for half the cruise. that s15 with the vault chromies lunched it, straight into a guard rail.

parked at the bp at the finish meet point, got word of cops from scandy and heslo so left from there. then sorta ended up next to heslo, a dark blue 33 and a lighter blue 33 cruising back towards ttp way, all sticker free i think.

you know why

because ive heard in a number of media reports lately the words "hoon" and "car enthusiast" get merged into one group statement

so we're now "hoon car enthusiasts"

thanks media mike, ya f**khead

did u escape sticker free?

My car got looked over and got cleared, bastard stopped me as I was tryin to leave, he went all through inside car, glove box ,centre console . Are they alowed to go through inside of car, or they need a warrent?

125 reports from hills residence!!

Im not suprised, one of the S13 drift cars i was behind for a bit was drifting like he was at lala. Also spotted an old dude filming people going up corkscrew with his camera, then just after corkscrew everyone decided to pull over for a burnout show, few cars infront of me stop and i almost rear ended them and then i had cars doing skids right next to my car in the oncoming lane while i was stuck behind people ;)

Well as with most cruise, there were the boro spec and track spec cars. The cop i was talking to was more annoyed that the organiser was no where to be found. I know Wayne and his mate had some guy actually block the road with his car in Montacute just after the Corkscrew! Now there is reckless endangerment!

If they have suspecion Nick they can

Reckless driving, excessive noise, driving without due care, you name it

I think that the cops are full of shit. The cruise would have been lucky to pass 125 people and the chance of every one of them picking up the phone and calling the cops is very unlikely. they would have received 20 calls max if they received any.

Remember the cops were notified of the cruise because it was an official cruise and they would have decided long ago that they were going to "have a strong presence", so regardless of what happened people were going to get defected.

But Old Mark cant be everywhere at once, although we tried to keep the guy there..he did start getting quite pedantic "wheres the organiser of this cruise?" "can you guess why we are here?"

Kinda makes you second guess wether you come out to these cruises anymore. After doing nothing wrong, you still get a giant target painted to your car.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
