Have you seen this

"Lives are being put at risk by young motorists who modify their cars to boost performance, says the AA.

The motoring organisation wants tighter controls for things like nitrous oxide kits which are used to massively increase an engine's power.

AA Chairman Edmund King says it's young motorists who are most at risk and he wants to see new rules about how much people can modify their cars"


I thought the automible association were supposed to be on the side of motorists, they used to support motoring events etc. Now it seems they are turning against us? This is not the first time I have seen negative comments from the AA.

I really think that we should send them a message.

Also just because its "boy racer" stuff don't assume they wont come for you and you cant pick and choose who they apply this to.

i with they would just leave people to do it.
if they want to go and modifyt their cars let them. if they want to then go a step further and kill themselves LET THEM.
   :-#
i bet this will then go a step further (as you say carbore) and then they wont let people change engines in cars then we wont be able to tinker anymore  :evil:
not happy.

I presume you saw the bit that says:

Besides, the AA is just another company trying to make money for its shareholders. If it can increase its profile, and number of customers by appearing in the media (a'la Ryanair) then it will.

carbore:
Yes but it wont have customers like me anymore.

TDi90:
or me.
