Hmmm. I do still feel that the Astra in that car park was an undercover car?

H, are we sure these letters are fake?

Just be careful guys, what seems like (and effectively is) harmless fun to us, may not be seen the same way by everyone else, especially the Police whose job it is to stop people having fun (or something like that)...

eg, Last year, a mate of mine was towing some friends round his estate in a rubber dingy using his Range Rover, completely harmless, never went on main roads, never met another car, never went above 5-10mph. Old guy up the road snapped a few pics on his phone and sent them to the Police and local paper. Next thing we know it's on BBC East Midlands news and there's a massive manhunt on for him. He ended up in court (points and a fine I think).

Now I know no-one was towing anyone on anything, but if people want to get arsey, they will, and unfortunately the law will be on their side.

The Police might not even mind, I mean hey, if you're all together in a little car park somewhere, it means you're off the public road right? But if they let it go, and someone gets hurt, it's going to come back to them in a 'well the Police said it was OK' kind of way.

But yeah, in the future, don't post up pics and videos, or at least remove any identifiable bits (stickers, reg plates etc). Sadly that's the boring world we live in :[

No-one's allowed to hurt themselves for fear they might be having fun (or maybe the other way round).

Gents it appears that the letters are genuine, as discussed all videos from that night to be removed as a precaution. Please do not stress the letters are simply a warning. No one is being prosecuted as far as I am aware. H

ive come to the conclusion there was an off duty copper in the pub next to the car park he went to work the next day and wrote to us all because we were so good at what we were doing he got p.....t off he couldnt do it
it is the quickest the police have responded in years.how quick do they come if someone is braking into your home or car or drowning in a pond
all the best 0121subs
