Signed it.

Fucking morons.

I live under the flight path to the airport. It's been there for years. Do I complain about the noise?
No. It was there when I got the house. I knew it was there.

The planes are so low sometimes ya can read the plane number...

Thanks for the support, one and all. Every vote counts.

I've also contacted:

Bike magazine (circulation 100,093), Lembit Opik MP - the head of the parliamentary motorcycle group, the British Motorcyclist's Federation, Motorcycle Action Group and the Motorcycle Industry Association.

Bike is also part of EMAP group, which has the three largest circulation bike mags in the UK, as well as MCN, which is supposed to have a readership in the hundreds of thousands if you believe their claims.

So hopefully these guys will take up the fight.

I'll try and keep you posted if/as and when I hear anything.

I emailed Clarkson too... just for a laugh but also because we have something in common... idiots closing down the racetrack.

I'll be interested to see/hear if they do anything... and of course not being in the UK I'm not hopeful of seeing if they actually do anything any time soon (exactly how far behind in NZ in the top gear programs - last night was the test of the BMW X3 where it kept getting bogged down, the Corvete (with the "leaf springs" in the back) and sommat else... how old is it?

Probably not tooo old - the C8 corvette came out end of last yyear , I think. And leaf springs?/ yeah , but its had an independent rear end for 30 yrs with , I think, Fibreglass transverse leaf springs?

Done, here's hoping it works!

Sounds like what's going on over here at Western Springs Speedway, Auckland. A small number of residents have complained about the noise (again) and the council is taking notice of them, there was talk of possible closure last year. The venue has been in operation for 76 years now!

The way I heard it (no not literally, I live in Nelson) was that it was Wellington (Environment Council) that was putting down the hard words and the Auk Council didn't like being told what to do in their own back yard.


On a somewhat related note...
I was up in the hills in the Brook Valley in Nelson at a lookout one late afternoon and could hear some boy racers going up and down the valley but something sounded wrong. Then I realised they were V8 noises and it was actually coming from the speedway out in Richmond 10-12Km away
