Posted on the Aylesbury Grapevine Facebook page, the anonymous person said: “Boy racers on Dunsham Lane, no social distancing when they all got out together from the two cars...wheel spinning, creating plumes of burnt rubber smoke... anyone recognise them?
“Had to explain to my children about grown adults who make ridiculous choices in life...”

One of the comments, which was written by Hannah Emily Cooper, said: “This has been going on for years.
“Twelve years ago, I was out with the guys and girls doing this rather than wandering the streets.
“Was great fun going from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes for car meets, hopefully soon they’ll be able to do things like this again and enjoy themselves.”
Callum McGrory added: “Sounds awesome! What cars were they?”
Liam Fla then hit back at the anonymous poster by saying: “Should explain to your kids about busy body curtain twitchers too.”
Kerry Reid added: “I can’t wait for the car meet-ups in Beaconsfield Service Station.
“Watching the young lads showing off their cars and enjoying themselves!
“I’d rather them be doing this than causing trouble.”

Toby Blackwell said: “To the lads tearing it up last night [March 21], my kids absolutely loved it.
“Thanks for the show.
“Can we request you come by in the daylight hours so the kids can see the cars properly.”
Car meet ups are frequent in Aylesbury, with many people attending the car parks of chained supermarkets to show off their vehicles and stunts.
