Because it's always going to kick off with a couple of show offs,then others will join in and then the crowd will come to watch the "fun".

I know  :o (see quote below).  Even with the ageing members of OOF at the recent'ish meet at Brackley, Tony felt it necessary to warn some of the older members on OOF not to misbehave. They've got to remember that their cars are more powerful than their eyes in later life.  :) When the scenery moves faster than your eyes can focus it's time to slow down.  :)

Oh....please NO drifting, wheelspins, handbrake turns, J turns, street racing etc, in the carpark !!!!! :)

This is why I didn't go, as I didn't think I could show my Volvo estate at it's best!  ;D

The original intention of the motor car was simply to get from A to B

Then do it quicker

Then do it in more comfort

Then do it quicker again

Then do it for fun

Then do it better than your next door neighbour

Then do it to impress ladies

Then do it to impress others the same as you

Then do it to massage your ego

Then do it to pretend you have more money than the next person
(you don't really, it's on a finance deal!)

I kinda wonder if those with a heavy right foot are lacking in female company, or lacking the use of their right hand !

I'm just not sure that driving for "fun" is actually a good idea.

Oh God, I really am boring . . . . but alive.
