Lol who chose Lakeside? Got to love these cruize sites, I prob still tag along with open eyes but I'm feeling a short stay at Thurrock...
The poliz know what will be going on, google 'Lakeside GP' and see what I mean.

I'm actually considering not going to this anymore. This will quite obviously turn into a total chav-fest full of corsas and saxo's doing handbrake turns. Chavs go to lakeside on a Saturday night regardless of whether there's a dedicated meet or not, so, considering the weather, the chavs will be out in full force.

Yeah true about Freeport, but I think it would have been a better location, plus its HUUUGE! I guess the police being there will be a bonus, I just hope they really clamp down on the chaviots!
Question no.2 Ron......what time should we get there to guarantee a good space? I'm wanting to get in the line!

Car is all squeaky clean for Sat

Yep i would have preferred Freeport too
But there carparks got turned into private land recently
! So no meets are allowed down there now, As the police can just issue you with a section 59 £60 on the spot fine 
As for your question 2 ... Not sure what convoy you will be joining , but i'm aiming to get us all there for 7.30pm to get all lined up together
Yep i'm all good mate

Anyone going from Chelmsford on here??
I have no idea where that is mate lol. I'm coming from Chelmsford so A12 / M25. Could meet you at the garage on the junction of A12 / M25 (big roundabout)
Enjoyed this evening, only slightly chavvy, no trouble at all 
Nice to meet some new people
Phoebe enjoyed herself more, while waiting in queue for photographer I got out of the car to talk to the person behind and quick as a flash she jumped in the driver's seat and drove off...........now she's even more determined to get a sport of her own........what have I let myself in for

Think i remember you saying last year she wanted one. If she still wants one, let her do it.
Wont be long before she wants a turbo. Then your in real trouble, you may find your keys disappearing quite a bit
She'd have one now if the insurance would let her 
Today was parked up in the cemetery of all places and while I was doing some stuff she disappeared and then I heard the car start and she did a little circuit of the cemetery grounds..........
Fortunately I think the people we were visiting there wouldn't have minded 
She ideally would like a newage saloon sport, have seen a few nice ones but they're all in Ireland
Anyone fancy a trip to Ireland............

Possibly... In a few months, if mine is sorted
How old is your daughter Lorraine? Are sports quite expensive for insurance? I'm sure one will pop up in the Essex or closer territory.
I can only imagine what that was like round a cemetary. Yours isn't the quietist of the bunch is it?
Has anyone got some pics of last night then?

She is nearly 20, had a quote for £1700 for a sport, not that bad when you consider she is paying 1k for a VW Polo 1.2, has 2yrs NCB. We'll keep looking

What, me noisy
Yes could have been slightly awkward in the cemetery, fortunately no other visitors at the time or she wouldn't have done it.The official pics are on https://www.facebook.com/DriftandStanced, check out the girls
On reflection could have got my daughter to do a better job I think, earnt some money towards her insurance
