ah but now we get to that time thing!! during the day like 8am-8pm is a no no but what about after say 9pm road is clear? not the ideal place to do it but is anywhere???? other than a track, but kids could jump out in front as your going through the pits!! but all ifs!!lol. i love boosting but its only blipping the throttle and dumping off!!!
If kids jump out in front of you at the pits and you run them over then thats not due to you driving like a **** as they shouldn't be there!

Your first point is my point, I don't act like I have never done that in a town centre with narrow roads and people around mate, I haven't full stop
Now on other roads, Motorways and such I don't have to worry about kids running out in front of me so thats a different matter, Most of you just seem to be condoning driving like a **** through town centres and openly admitting it then trying to argue that it's ok as other people must do it

I don't agree with it at all, iv lost friends to idiotic acts in cars but we all have done it and its complete bully poo if people say they have never done it on a roAd where children could be that's all I'm saying matey.

Personally Ive had scoobs for the fun of driving them. Boosting it and dumping before lights aint what its all about. Used to do that with first one then ya just realise everyone thinks your a ****. Stick to the quiet back roads and have some proper banter.

Sorry but I don't believe you and that's just my opinion. I don't agree with it at all, iv lost friends to idiotic acts in cars but we all have done it and its complete bully poo if people say they have never done it on a roAd where children could be that's all I'm saying matey.

We'll the Person who started the thread said he heard you a mile away so unless you have the loudest Scoob in the world I beg to differ
Also If you don't do any of that why do you think it was you

Yeah I know that but on the other hand the OP said whoever it was could be heard a mile way and He obviously saw the car So either He has bad judgement of sound and speed or your tellin porkies about your driving or it wasn't you

I love how everyone jumps to the sensible and mature approach here like they have never gave it the beans in a public place. I'm all for public safety but why the f@ck you all driving subarus and spending thousands to make them faster if your all such law abiding citizens. I'm not being a stickle here or promoting erratic behaviour but seriously your all lying bastages if your telling me you have never done it and I don't care how old you are. You were all kiddies once 
. Me personally, I leave it till the 5am dual carriageway run to work if I toe it.
. Me personally, I leave it till the 5am dual carriageway run to work if I toe it. I'm not suggesting for one second that you drive like a normal person.. anyone that's been in the car with me, knows I don't go slow and I do take risks, but the risks are with my license not with other people's lives. Chill out people, if you drive fast through a town centre someone is going to pick you up on it .. give your side of the argument and move on

Ive had some Proffesional driving, and driver awerness tuition courtesy of my work and It opened my eyes a little, so not only do I feel more confident behind the wheel, but I also understand hazard preception more, thus I do NOT give it the beans in built up places.
As said by one of the Driver Tutors "As an 'Aware Driver' you must not trust anybody; you must view all other vehicles and pedestrians as potentially fatal missiles and, to that end, you must keep yourself well away from these dangers"
Give it the beans road, and if you die doing so do NOT take anyone else with you......
"I was only giving it a quick boost to show my mates how quick it was"

I think the pic above says it all, thats like my worst nightmare. Town Centres I stick to warbling my way through because i dont think I could live with myself if I killed someone and i aint got the guts to kill myself...so..could be a fairly miserable existence!!
Have I done it in the past, yes, with a ******* vengence! Back in the day I had a 2 litre mk1 escort I thrashed it everywhere! The noisier and faster I could go the better. And the week max power had a free card of stickers I bought 2 copies and plastered it with stickers. Yep a complete dick at times.
Having just had a big off yesterday morning, not much has changed, but I dont do it in town centres anymore....guess im getting old lol
Dont think you can put an old head on young shoulders though...
