I can't believe I'm carrying on this debate but what can I say - I've eaten a maaaassive burrito and I'm not planning on this afternoon being very productive.
I've never been on a club run before so I have no idea what goes on in them spheres but 'oil up' sounds more complicated than it has to be, no? It's not my ride so I'm not going to call the shots or owt. I guess it's what you're used to at the end of the day but 'car up' and 'car down' seems a bit more instinctive. Which, I guess, is what you want if you're trying to warn people of dangers quickly.
