ello ppl, i’m quite new here so many people won’t know me but i do tend to go out partying quite alot, but since my only reliable source has no longer got a car, i was wondering if there is anybody in the norfolk / bury / cambridge area who are able to give lifts as im always looking to go out and have a good time.
if anybody is interested in giving me a lift or even to make new friends then i don’t mind, as longa s u r like minded people/not thuggish and go for the music then im more than happy.
thanks.
if you go partyin a lot then its really not too hard to find lifts from bury if u put in some petrol money, theres a convoy nearly every weekend :bounce_fl im pretty sure thats how it is from most locations tho
sorry my car only goes ten miles then dies. ill give u a second hand kiss tho
hope you find something – this place has helped me out loads, one thing though is to always sort out the driver with petrol money or other goodies (although maybe not just before they are planning to drive as you want to get back in one piece!)
TBH I think the harsh reality is less and less people are prepared to drive to a illegal rave these days for a load of quite valid reasons.
Cars are fucking expensive to run and driving them is stressful (thats why I still don’t have one!). Petrol is expensive, then you have stuf like MOT/insurance etc..
Cops are now getting a lot more prepared to deal with traffic offences at raves (about 60% of police units present seem to be black rats) and they can now also confiscate cars used for any sort of crime (including non driving offences) and that includes raves. I think if they really want to get harsh they can now even revoke licenses for non-driving offences (albeit at the risk of human rights laws challenges).
Further, lots of younger people are driving a car which belongs to their work or their parents, or they have spent a lot of money on, and collisions/theft/damage aren’t uncommon at raves!
Salaries in this area are low due to intense competition from other regions and offshored companies, and often having a car/license is vital to a job, so more young people aren’t willing to take the risk of fucking up a large chunk of their life just for a weekend.
TBH I think we need to work more towards having tolerated venues which aren’t that far away from towns or villages with train stations, (for instance there are a plenty of stations in Breckland district) so (other than the rig vans of course!) less people have to drive to the venues!
Might save a few lives on the A12/A14 as well, I’ve heard some sad stories about ravers losing their lives when the driver falls asleep at the wheel or loses concentration on the “comedown drive” back home 🙁
yeh i totally know what you mean lighting, i’ve been in a car many times with my last reliable lift to raves and he liked to think that he drove better when fucked. we when to the wales 3 dayer rave in chepstow over the easter bank holiday and we had to leave around 10 sunday night after the OB closed it down, and he had just taken a 2CB pill, which was his first 2cb mind, and because we were ontop/on the side of a hill and had to drive down, he was skidding everywhere, sliding round the corners thinking he was a rally driver, i thought i was actually going to die.
another time was when we was at a norfolk party and he had just taken aload of pills, he was attempting to get with this girl in the car, who is actually his gf now (fool) he decided to let her basically drive the car when we was in the convoy and she was in the back seat, and i was like ‘FFS man have some respect were in the car with u 2 ya know’ and he just had the smuggish attitude of ‘yeh whatever’. and so she was driving the car, 5 mins later we were behind the convoy so we had to catch up, adn the next thing u know he crashed into the back of this car which was pretty much parked still and he was doing atleast 30.
i’m sorry to actually say this but its dangerous driving to a rave, it really is. i think that if people are planning to go raving, they should do it like having a night out on the razz, have a desginated driver so little can go wrong.
i can see what people mean about their views of driving fucked, but that is what drugs do to you, builds up you’re confidence and makes you feel like you’re ontop of the world, but actually, you’re more vunerable that you think.
TBH my friends at the time have all done this sort of thing (and worse) when I was younger but for some the gambles didn’t pay off, they either ended up dead, in HMP or disabled.
I don’t understand why people still use massive convoys in this area – they are bait and a cause of nasty collissions. OK I can see the “comradeship” aspect of it but times changes and there is more CCTV and nimbys about what will grass you up the moment they see all those cars.
Who else goes driving into the middle of nowhere at 1 in the morning? its obvious to the net curtain brigade what you are up to.
most of my mates are responsible drivers, although there are some people whom I’d go partying with but never get into a car with….
OK most of the time they are OK but certain “driving patterns” draw attention to their vehicles and the passengers often also get searched.. the cops have 20 years experience of stop checking sketchy ravers.
its not one of those computer games however much ketamine people take :you_crazy
innit just, i had actually been talking with a few of my friends today and as well as other few who i just met and they asked if i did ketamine and i sed ‘no i don’t do it anymore, since my friends started buying that indian ketamine (which supposedly puffs up twice as much as normal K so a gram looks like a 1/8) i don’t enjoy the buzz and even a tiny little line makes me throw up and gives me a shitty experience’ and they just sat their, laughed, saying i’m a light-weight and telling me how i can’t handle my drugs
that is what i dont like about the party scene anymore, it’s full of youngsters coming around showing everybody that they can do more drugs than you, people robbing each other, getting their cars smashed up, fights at raves, and as well as starting fights with the OB (rioting). it’s just not what it use to be like, i hardly know anybody who goes raving now who goes just purely for the music. they either go to get drugs, make money or as my friend quoted ‘it’s a new thing to do now to go to a rave, instead of going out clubbing or to the pub, every1 wants to go to a rave’ but thats why people went raving in the first place…..to get away from all the yobs….but it seems like the yobs are just following you their and giving us a bad reputation.
yeh i know what you mean lighting, thankfully, the guy who i use to get lifts with has stopped going to raves and drugs all together, but he has only done it shamefully just because his girlfriend told him too. i tend to do what i want and that isn’t sounding big headed, but i know my limits, i know the law, i know i’m old enough now to go to jail so just leave me to do my own thing, i don’t like trends and i’m certainly turning ym nose up now to how things are going to progress in the future with the party scene.
to me that sounds like its contaminated with something (which people will end up snorting).
out of curiosity, how long have you been partying? I find it worrying how quickly things have deteriorated – I’ve been going free partying since 1992 (and regularly since 1997 or so including a spell of helping organise the things until 2005) and its only since 2002/3 in SE England and 2004/5 in Eastern England that things have really gone tits up..
TBH I think its going back to legal and semi-legal/tolerated events. A lot of the “older” lot are trying to get back to the original free party vibe, I think I’ve caught the remnants of it this year
There are still a few good things planned for this area and hopefully what Exodus are trying to do might work.
its really good what exodus are trying to do, but i hope raves becoming more legal doesnt attract even more lairy chavs and dickheads. specially if to sort out tranport issues they hold them nearer to towns or citys, and if there advertised rather than just a partyline or word of mouth. i think having to drive far out into the country side helps deter the people who are likely to ruin a good night.
back to the thread, im not a fan of driving to parties. mainly because, at the end of the day, i dont like being responsible for the safety of my passengers and other road users. and also being responsible for my car which costs alot to insure, run and maintain. sure my freinds help with petrol, but i was left on my own trying to sort out my bumper which was left hanging off after a party.
ahh really, well when i went to the wales 3 day rave, thats how we was first introuduced to it. and as soon as we parked up a guy started walking about going ‘K £10 a G’ n we were like whoa thats fuckin cheap, and without thinkin about it me n my m8s just bought like 200 quid worht of K. and when we started doin it, it was fine, but wen we started to get sober and started takin lines like 1/4 a meter long, then it was unbearable, like tunneled vision, nausia, throwing up, just not a plesent feeling like ive had off k before, the one where ya jus aint able 2 walk 😛
i see where you are coming from, ive been in2 my music for many years but only been partying for about the last 4 years, i can see how people are comparing it from then to know, i dunno what the atmosphere of parties was like 10 years ago, but 4 years ago, people tended to go to parties to escape, get away from the everyday pub life and street violence, but it seems to be following us once again and people are trying to avoid it, do you think there will be another generation that will come out that will be like the 60’s and the rave scene, who knows.
My bro crashed his car on a sunday night after doin 10 hours of driving about on sat nite and sunday mornin goin to and from parties n that, he did 5 pills during the night, was fine during the day when he had cum down, went to sleep at like 5 o clock, got up at 9pm to drive to oxford from norfolk, he sed he cant remember driving 80 miles to the point where he had a head on crash because he waso n the rong side of the road where he broke both is legs and his neck.
Partying + Drugs + Driving for hours = Sleepiness and bad concentration = CRASHING
BTW: he had been driving his new car for 4 days after spending thousands on it…
