Boy racers were confronted by police in Imperial Way last night as part of an operation to crack down on cruising meetings.
Officers swooped on the Croydon Airport Industrial Estate to quiz young drivers who gather at the site off Purley Way every Thursday.
Businesses in and around Imperial Way and residents living nearby have been demanding police do something about the antisocial meetings for years.
There have been several serious accidents linked to the meetings, including an incident last month were a 21-year-old narrowly escaped being killed during a four-car smash.

boy racers are wallies who own silly novas and fiestas with scaffold tubes for exhausts. driving rubish cars while thinking your the stig is very childish. grow up get a volvo and lose the burberry cap. when people stare at you boy racers, we dont think your cool we think you look ridiculous. especially wiith those front bumpers that can be used as a snow plough.

I'm fed up of these yobs racing around in their girls cars. How anyone can possible think a Corsa or a 206 is cool is beyond me. Anyway, in terms of solving the problem why can't the council just put speed bumps in the road?? That will stop these kids tearing up and down all the time. And if the police got some of them community officers to patrol the road that might deter some of these rascals!!

As an aside, can you use punctuation please, reading your posts is hard going. Why don't you stick to the legal cruises? Why do you feel you have to do something illegal, when there's perfectly good legal events going on? You know that you'll never get your 'cruise' made legal!! If you went somewhere legal, the police would be elsewhere dealing with other idiots and leave you lot and your rustbuckets alone ;)
i go to all the car cruises, ace caffe, chelsea cruise and valley park and they are the dogs nuts the more police that show up the more times we go if the police left us alone instead of wasting tax payers money (and yes i do work) then the world wpould be a much better place all they are going to do is drive the cruise to some where else at least where it is there are only closed office's.

There's nothing clever about modding! As the saying goes, 'you can't polish a turd' lmao! It'll still be a nova at the end of the day, no matter how much you spend on disguising it! On another note, if you write off your car, or it gets stolen, you'll get a couple of hundred pounds back from your insurance for something you spent a couple of thousand on! If I'm stupid, then what does that make you?!!!

If you ever find out which one of your 'uncles' fathered you, I'm sure he'll be delighted you turned out such a pillar of society.

This forum is for a cruise that takes place late at night in an industrial estate that leads no where and goes no where, where in any off his posts does bobby boy say he races along the roads im sure he says he sits on the side of the road looking at cars and that is not a crime.
As for kids why would your family be driving in an industrial estate at midnight with there kids are they doing what you keep talking about inter-breeding?

Maybe you should take adult literacy classes. It helps to be able to read things before replying, otherwise you make yourself look like a muppet when you don't have a clue what you're talking about, let alone know how to spell it!
Where my family drives to is none of your business! Even if they don't go to Valley Park at midnight, it's still feasible they could be out on nearby roads as they only live a mile from there
Aren't people allowed out after dark unless they're wearing baseball caps, driving ridiculous cars, smoking weed and playing sh1te music with their windows down?

Oh dear, you can\'t take constructive criticism, can you Alan! I pointed out forum etiquette so you don\'t keep making a fool of yourself, and you throw your toys out of your pram! It\'s fact you can\'t spell, you can\'t punctuate, you don\'t have a clue how to construct a coherent sentence, let alone a whole post, and you hadn\'t read the thread before you started barking up the wrong tree with your tw@ttage. It stands to reason that your English needs brushing up on. If you think the police arrest people for having an opinion, rather than those causing a nuisance, then you\'ve got a very warped view of the law. Why don\'t you try debating fact, instead of making up rubbish? It\'s really not that difficult. Maybe that English course would help you with that, too! As for who\'s insulting who, your last post alone was a complete barrage of insults: get a life and grow up dick stupid one sided idiot immature more childish than the boy racers (is that actually possible?) Again, learning better English and expanding your rather limited vocabulary would help you express yourself in a more adult fashion. That\'s not an insult, it\'s fact!

In some parts of the United Kingdom, where car culture is sometimes seen as being inextricably linked to chav culture, the term Barry Boy can sometimes be used. It is interesting to note that because of the obvious links between chav culture and car culture the word chav may be used in reference to boy racers. During the height of the XR3's popularities in the eighties and early nineties as they were a choice of boy racers, they and owners were referred to as XR3 Moron.

Although this is not specifically about boy racers but can someone tell me why you get the odd person that drives about a foot away from the back of my car on the motorway when there are cars in front of me and no where to go? Do they have a death wish or are they trying to kill me? what for!!!!!?????

The very nature of your post is hypocritical! You said 'leave people alone' yet you're insulting me in the same sentence! Maybe you should check the meaning of the word in a dictionary before you post again! While you're looking in the dictionary, remember it was you who appeared on this thread and had a go at me first. The word is 'hypocrite'! As for your insult, try again! I'm very happy, and the last time I checked, I only have two legs lmfao!
