the guards will have a crusher there for any messer they will crush the car on the spot, plus they will be driving around in unmarked done up cars with video survalence to video the messing . so they dont want car enthusiasts at a rally ...ireland is really shit..bad enough they take money out of our pockets but now they want to take the fun outta life

Ha ha talk about the pot calling the kettle black as if back in the day the fellas rallying or organising the rallies didn't do their share of scutting and drive through their local village like clowns for half the night.
Mmmmmm sure where do the rally lads test their cars....block off a country road illegally and go for a good rip,how many of the rally cars are road legal and own their cars legitimately not on English plates etc

Unfortunately I won't make it to kilarney this year I hope it is a good event

Lakes is gone to shit because of messing and the dickheads it attracts though, as much craic as it was to watch I remember sitting in a carpark a few years back and a lad was wrecking some witsuwishi on trays in the middle of the town, no need of it really. Its a pity the farmer out the county bounds wouldn't just charge a few quid for lads to wreck all night on the county bounds out of everyones way, probably abit much to ask for molls gap though .:afro:

The same year I came back at about 4 from the wreck and some cunts were after making shit of our tent and robbing all our food/stuff for the weekend out of it. Swore I'd never go back down all because of a few scumbags, guna chance it again this year though, but might stay up on a stage or somewhere possibly.

Is the IDA still open down there? Same year an oul dead as a maggot sierra tearing the place up fair play haha! No names mentioned! ;)

They should have a designated area for messing... have some gardai there full time and let people do what they want... get some food and merchandise stands there and organise some stunt shows and that...

THAT would be worth a fortune to the event...

I agree that it can be an 'inconvenience' when it is performed on the open road at 3am, but it's going to happen anyways so why not just facilitate and control it...

Why should they??? Roads are not the place for messing, thats what trackdays are for!!! Anyone who is gonna act like a complete retard on the road deserve to have their cars taken off them, simple as!!

LarZ

30-04-12, 08:41

I think there's a time and a place... if there was a 'slab' facility nearby on private property it would take the messers off the road... There is no way to stop this behaviour, it needs to be channelled.

Don't forget that not everyone has access to a track (distance). Not everyone knows that you can attend drift practice days. I agree the majority of people that go 'diffing' are retards, but you have to see it from their point of view too...

IDA is probably going to be locked down with 24hour security for the weekend, along with LIDL, SuperValu, Tesco and all the other car parks in the town.

Dont see why people bother with diffin', its fairly boring after 2 minutes of goin around in circles.

If there was some proper streeto goin on now i wouldn't complain :cool:

Well aside from all this diffin bolloxology is dere many driftireland lads hittin down organise a meet or wat ever dey call it no paul walkers do :-P

I love the killarney rally use to go every year. my opinion there's a time and a place for everything I've owned a loads a rwd cars and done my fair share a diffing but i think its not needed at a rally. I'd rather go watch the stages then get on the beer and party!

Thats my opinion, if your doin dangerous shit on the roads and there is others about then im not into that. The likes of the Rally of the Lakes brings alot of people to the area. I dont like people acting the tit.

Went every year for the past 6 or 7 ...... It used to be cool , not any more. No one I ever go with wants to go to the stages or will go to one and drinking for the day... :mad:

Im not going this year as my Social fund is being spent on PD Weekends , bdc and Romania!

Messing and the lakes will always go together simple as. To be fair thought there are always some awful clowns below there that will get killed if they are left at it! Everyone here has at one point or another done the fool on the road or in a place they shouldn't have, obviously more than others. What i cant understand though is why they don't do something like Donegal and open a track or get a big yard and leave fellas off in there. Then people have a place to go and I'd have no sympathy for people getting caught on the road then!

Big sign coming into killarney from the cork side: Keep the race in its place.

On a similar note, could hear an car trying to shred its tyres about a km from my house last night. There seems to be some messing around the place already :s

to say there was war at the rally meeting would be an understatement over that pic! he supposedly got threated over his original poster and is now getting 24/7 security at his garage for the lakes...i duno what to make of it all really tbh but will be interesting to see what way the gaurds will try stop the messing...also know for a fact that they will have 'modified' cars around...and not your normal starlets and the likes either!

yeah it was pretty quiet by ROTL standards. Was delighted to see the cops actually confiscating cars and that. There were some awful idiots around. Was marshalling at one stage in Caragh Lake and some fool on an ae86 drove onto the stage while the road was closed. The Chief Clerk caught him and booted him off and we made life difficult for him to try teach him a lesson.
