Guess that was why all the idiot drivers were in Ryde ….. vroom vrooom listen to my car ( ‘ sorry mate but sounds like exhaust filled with water.. !! ) and also mega loud and bang bang bang as lawnmower engine bikes ( 49cc ) have to be heard… inconsiderate twats… this is the Isle of Wight.. NOT BRANDS HATCH…. Does their insurance company know about modified exhaust… if not then no insurance.. !! Then to top it off some young NCC biker had to make his bike rev high and speed off along the front… what they trying to prove.. how stupid they can be or what ?
What has that got to do with a missing person ?
More to the point, who are the absolute melts upvoting a post that has nothing to do with the article?
