Unfortunately yes.When John was leaving one of the shopkeepers waived him down/pulled him over to the curb and starting yelling about Porsches driving at speed up and down the main street and the dangers of such driving in a populated street.Poor John was an innocent party but clearly another PFAer had created the reaction.

I think it was more the combined noise of the cars (some being nosier than others) and accelerating beyond the roundabout at the end of the main Street. It was nothing more than an overreaction by a grumpy lady from where I was standing (and getting sprayed!) Generally speaking we are all pretty respectful, but do keep it in mind for Sunday that there are grumpy people who may not enjoy the spirit of our combined company.

I love that drive and the last thing I want is attention from the constabulary and a complaint from a local is a good way of gaining such attention.

As I mentioned in my post its important to keep in mind and a good thing to be discussing - I was just personally affected my the reaction of that particular woman.
