Welcome to the Grey Arrows Drone Club @Blue172, great to have to have you on board 
I saw the photo you posted, please do share more!
Just to echo the others, I too am sorry about the problems you’ve had on your maiden flights. Try not to let them put you off. BMW drivers eh? 
But in all seriousness, as per @Reuuc I too always tend to fly “out of the way”, I find somewhere quiet (countryside mainly, near canals, that kinda thing) or I fly early in the morning. I don’t want to be pestered and I certainly don’t want to be abused, physically or verbally. Do check out our sister site at https://dronescene.co.uk for places that other members recommend
Good news, I’m in the north west too (Wigan)! We’re definitely taking over
