I can't believe the guy who runs the spotters' website is encouraging other 'enthusiasts' to stand at a crash gate while spotting!
With a lack of parking round there, it leads to people leaving their cars in front of these gates and quite often, wandering off. I would like to think that spotters weren't stupid enough to park there, but everyday I go to work, I see that they are.
Still, if you can afford a car strong enough that it can withstand a collision with a Fire vehicle, then good luck to you.
