The GT Cafe - restarting June 1st - new location
Discussion
I wasn't around to go to this but I saw a post on Instagram from a certain company based in Manchester and I instantly knew it would end up with certain types of people turning up in C63s doing burnouts and driving like bellends, guess I was right and I'm a few thousand miles away. I'm sure Rich will sort it out so its back to the usual calibre of person at the next event

I too went to quite a few of the original GT cafe meets. It was the first time I had gone to a 'meet' as I always thought that they would be mainly bellends doing burnouts and driving like cocks. I was wrong, the GT Cafe meets were always good, well managed and more grownup.Hope Rich get them back on form, sure he will.
well that was all a bit interesting, and not only the weather
ok ... so don't panic, that was not the standard GT Café !!!
though lets not ham it up too much, I think if it was Ferraris and Lambos acting that way (like we do when we get over excited) then there was nothing too different .... a lot of reving and false starts !!!!
I think it just looks a bit imposing when its all mercs and audis with blacked out windows... rather than fessa's
and I must say they were all very polite, nothing was damaged and there was no trouble ...
However, just to answer the question, that was a (much larger than expected) group of guys that were coming as a client of the guys hosting us.... I think they were rather shocked too !!
As we often do, the police had been told that we would be having a lot of cars coming and parking up for a private event and as always they were very good .....
It wasn't some crazy social media invite that went mad and its also not the regular list of invitees...
so back to normal next month, hopefully better weather,
hope that answers any concerns

I promise not to do any burnouts 
Of course ... Very welcome ... It's a shame the weather was so bad and nobody could get their cars out ... My race car was hid away in the dry corner !!
Thing I love about doing this is every meet is different ... And that's what keeps it fun
Ps. Funny story one of the first meets I did a guy turned up doing burn outs etc ... Same response ... He's grown up a lot now ... Still likes a burn out .. Now it's in his veyron ...and nobody seems to moan :-)

The burnouts would have been fine. If they weren't so close to other cars. When cars are coming both ways and traffic is pulled up. Doing a burnout is a bit of a stupid idea.
It doesn't take much for it to snap an instead of going forward suddenly. You're going off at an angle towards spectators and other expensive cars.
If doing burnouts maybe go into an area where it's less likely you could hit someone else. I love a good burnout. An I would be happy to do some myself. I mean it's got line locks fitted for a reason.
It's just I don't do them 2 foot away from other cars. Because, I'm considerate about flicking stones around or knowing it's too easy for it to go wrong when doing rolling burnouts.

Burn outs are fine in the right place at the right time, on an absolutely packed road on an industrial estate is not the time or place. Add some idiot on a motorbike repeatedly weaving through all the cars at at least double the speed limit and a shunter in ten tonnes worth of Terberg tug with a forty foot trailer on the back trying to finish his shift and you have a recipe for disaster.
