Trafford Centre ****wittery.

[Leptons]

These are doing the rounds on Facebook. Apparently some Gumball 3000 meet up at the Trafford centre. I don't fancy their chances of completing Gumball as they can't appear to even negotiate a roundabout properly...

As this is not YouTube it's ok here. Right?

Seen this on a few sites now the roads around the Trafford centre are bad at any times, with far too many people that don't understand roundabouts, cant judge speeds, or know which lane to be in, then add the likes of the Jag driver or the Merc and its pretty obvious what's going to happen.
I'm surprised there where not more accidents.

Bloody car enthusiasts eh!?

I'm at a loss as to whether I am more annoyed at the idiots driving, or the idiot who doesn't turn his phone through 90 degrees when videoing...

Looks like a pistonheads meet really. But without any decent machinery of course, just showing off in rep mobiles.

Have heard lots of people on forums saying this, but I can't understand why they wouldn't pay out? It's stupid driving, sure, but then that's partly what insurance is for surely? I can certainly imagine the police would be interested though....

Those drivers were idiots but why are people clapping and cheering?

I would too, it's the same reaction you'd get if you dropped a plate in a restaurant or smashed a glass behind a bar. Celebrating idiocy.

What a bunch of "innits".

The white car was a rental, thus why the brothers took the plates off quick.


Bellends.

Would your insurance cover you for track days? Nope. So why should your insurance cover you for an event that involves you doing any other form of "racing"? (I hesitate to call it racing, but it sure isn't normal driving).

they could argue it's a road rally. Performance testing on the road. Being driven by a bellend should be an exclusion as well.

It's more than half, actually.

I watched some of the footage doing the rounds and it is embarrassing.

Seems to have dragged out a lot of undesirable people.

Who is this Lord Aleem that so many people are hanging off?

[Slidingpillar]

Some insurance does cover track days (but I'm not aware of any covering the Nordschleife).

Driver of black car is an idiot, "well it was nearly straight so I floored it and lost it". If ever there was a case for an offence of being a tittish driver, that one defines it.

An absolute tool with a rather successful father.
