I didn't make it back for this one sadly, although look out for a recently restored MK2 Golf and an orange MK1 Escort! smile

Never been so close to phoning the Police on 2 cars in my life, 2 black Corsas screaming (not quick but screaming) past me wrong side of a a double white line into a crawler lane, asumed they were on route back from there. idiots

Compile all the tts you see on the road and put them in to a car park...it's just asking for trouble.

Just got in, from what I saw there was 1 accident. Outside a kfc half a mile away. Small fender bender in the carpark entrance to it.

Police camera vans everywhere, dog unites, unmarked cars, loads of marked cars, police stood everywhere.

Was pretty good, didnt take any pictures though.

Right or wrong, that's pretty much my view of the cruising scene too. Too many tts behaving like, well, tts. They overshadow the few genuine petrolheads at these events.

En route to the cruise last night, I saw some of the sttest driving of my life. There was 2 very, very near misses in the 15 minute journey from Nairn to Inverness. It was a little gutless corsa that caused them both, and all the ttty driving I saw last night was by corsas and other sub-2L hatchbacks.

The standard of driving on the way there was so bad, I was considering removing myself from the modified car scene, and I finally understood why boy racers are all tarred with the "st drivers" brush.

Before anyone pipes up to defend the sub-2L hatchbacks, I drive a 1.4 ZR. However, I managed not to nearly kill anyone yesterday.

On the plus side, there was very little bad driving at the event itself, thanks to the massive police presence. (A riot van, really?)

Im the sub 2l hatch as well. 1.5L turbo.

The event its self was fine it was the roads heading there where people were showing off that was bad.

I also didnt nearly crash.

I went down with the kids, there was some amount of cars turned up. It was good to see the police presence kept all potential antics at bay.
My 7 year old was delighted seeing so many cars in Inverness.
The white escort was lovely

Nope, the ones involved in the near misses I saw were red.

So if we take this thread as a poll, all corsa drivers are tts.
