Surely thats some kind of slander / deformation if they are showing organised days and trying to tarnish it as crime on that show

Just showes how ignorant people are if the think diffin is a "bboy racer" thing, surely this isnt helping the sport at all even tho it was just a short clip.

the media strikes again.....Great! Wouldnt be so bad if they were more accurate and less manipulative in how they portray things. But then that just wouldn't make for good viewing by whinging bints and the like would it

I saw it too last night, couldn't believe it!!

I'm complaining about it, genuine motorsport competition and practise days that people pay to organise and pay to attend being used as if it's illegal "boy racer" cruising or something.

Fucks sake.

We've been contacted by the media many times requesting content and interviews for their 'factual' programs. Every time we run for the hills as this is what happens every time.
There's no news in anything positive any more. It's all about the negative minorities, so even footage filmed legally in competition and practice is being edited to make us look like scum. Without a doubt it all does damage to our scene..

I don't suppose anyone recorded it did they?. And while we're there, where do we write complaint letters/e-mails?

Surely some sort of action can be taken against the program. For making it out to be ilegal when it blatently wasn't.

Streeto fo life yo, yeah badical man innit. Late night shopping, ah yeav bruv if you ain't doing it on the streets YOU AIN'T SHIT!

Etc etc

Yeah, what I'm getting at is this - drifters shoot themselves in the feet sometimes by behaving like chav cockends themselves. While you've got fucksticks thinking that drifting on the streets is a worthwhile activity, drifting's going to be looked upon as a chavvy, boy racery pastime and associated with car crime. Them's the breaks, people, no point in complaining about it.
