Controversial petrolheads will host 'mega' Lanarkshire event to showcase stunts

Controversial car fanatics group, the Lanarkshire Outlawz, are set to host their first "mega meet" of 2022 next month.

The petrolheads - who have been dubbed "inconsiderate" due to their dangerous and reckless stunts - will meet at the Nerston Industrial Estate in East Kilbride on Saturday, April 9 from 6.45pm.

The Outlawz will then leave the B&Q car park from 10.30pm with a convoy of vehicles heading to the Palace Grounds Retail Park, where they are known to frequent, in Hamilton.

It is understood that once there, the motor enthusiasts will carry out dangerous manoeuvres, such as 'static to burn outs' and 'drag racing'.

In a social media post this week the group posted: "Outlawz first mega meet of 2022.

"We will be holding our first big meet of 2022 on April 9 in East Kilbride.

"We will be meeting at B&Q in East Kilbride from 6.45pm onwards and will then leave around 10.30pm to head to Hamilton to MFI where all the fun starts.

"There will be people walking around looking at cars so just be mindful when coming in and out of the car park as don't want anyone hurt.

"Can we all take our rubbish away or put in the bins that are provided around the car park."

The post had attracted over 75 likes with over 200 people showing their interest in attending the event.

We told you back in January how a video of members of the group carrying out a snow drifting stunt had been blasted, after motorists were filmed skidding close to onlookers.

Police hit out at the reckless car enthusiasts after footage of them drifting at speed in the snow appeared on social media.

The Lanarkshire Outlawz group posted the video on social media, showing drivers skidding dangerously around streets in East Kilbride.

It took place within the Kelvin Industrial Estate during the severe weather which hit the town at the start of the year.

The video was posted on the group's TikTok account and had been viewed more than 3200 times.

In the clip, a large crowd of people could be seen gathered on Carron Place to watch the motorists drifting in the icy conditions.

Some cars performing the wild manoeuvres at speed were convertible cars with their roofs down and were spotted skidding just yards from people standing in the street.
