Very interesting program on the radio this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/pip/3aiq5/
In it, the eternally annoying James May tries to pin down the truth about rumours that were apparently in common currency during the mid to late '80s - was the M25 used as a giant race course for coked-up city boys in the early hours of the morning, in the days before cameras and traffic cops put paid to their shenanigans?
In the program, they frequently refer to this belief as an 'urban legend', though they finish with a positive view on its veracity. They never meet anyone who'll admit to having been part of it, and most of the accounts are very much FOAF.
Does anyone who was around at the time remember these rumours?
Anyway, listen to the program before they take it offline, it's really interesting
