[The Baron]

Absolutely

ps. should i write in

Perhaps in nicer language!!!

[AlexCim]

No you know what, I am really pissed off right now. I will write in

You know what shits me more. Of that road toll, how many were drag racing? HONESTLY. I reckon maybe 5% of them. The other 95% were people who were idiots crossing the road when they shouldnt be, were trying to drive brisbane melbourne in a day, were drunk, were eating while driving, were just plain morons.

Furthur. I remember a few years ago the goverment was going to invest in shelters for drug addicts to shoot up in. I am not sure if that happend, but shit, they can put money towards getting druggies off the street, but they totally neglect the fact that we too need a place of our own.

I know a mate with a 180sx. This guys NEVER taken it over 4k i reckon. I know people with 250kw SHOW CARS. This furthur reinforces my idea of being the drivers mentallity, not the car. If i had a 250kw car, id use it as such. BUt many many people dont. So there is no way you can blame the cars.

Finally, i dont see many clapped out imports going around. 99% of import drivers see a problem and have it fixed in a week. Mate, give me a shitbox and ill drive it into he ground. Then ill just abandon it and buy another clapper.

werd. in all honesty... a hoon will be a hoon in any car, regardless if it is modified or not, i know some people that own shitbox charades and drive crazy as hell ( i dont condone it.. im just using it as an example ). it isnt modified in any way, and maxes out at 140 or so.

once again i will state that whole story was just a bunch of typical today tonight bullshit.

[SKY031]

This therefore misrepresents us and our cars and our behaviour quite dramatically and I have a good mind to write to Channel 7 and or Mediawatch to ask them where they sourced their footage.

Thoughts / Comments ??

Don't bother screwing around with contacting the people who are trying to get the old folks to believe that all car enthusiasts are hoons.

Instead, contact the show that the old folks watch to find out how much they're being lied to by the media.

Thanks for the link Victor, will check it out because I missed it the other night...

[rukus]

that was sooooooooooo stupid

[dezz]

There will always be a portion of the population that speeds, does burnouts, does drugs, cheats on people, rapes childrens, f**king eats horse shit. Its call individuality you pricks!

WHERE ARE ALL THE STORIES ON SUICIDE

you might want to rethink that comment before writing in to anywhere...

raping kids makes someone an individual?

[AlexCim]

Yes, it does.

Just like the charicter on prison break...the white raper guy, he has his own personal charicter, which makes him individual to everyone else....hence. individuality. I mean, id kick his head in, but yes he is still his own individual self.

Just watched the story. Well, fair enough really but to tell you the truth, the more they push, the more we push.

And yes, that was on a track at the start, unless it was like... a big massive carpark in rural AU

Thanks - well done

[eMsta]

hmmm...me thinks i should forget the exhaust - im already stressed with exams and trying to get a proper job, i dont need the men in blue crawling up my ass too....

[GTAAAH]

dont know that i agree that there were "blatantly racist overtone" of muslims being hoons, i didnt see as look as much into it. But i do know that 99% of the cars i see on the roads "hooning" are people driving VL's, VN's, VK's. XY's, Kingswoods, EL's and other fords/holdens. I mean i dont think most skyline owners are stupid enough to thrash the crap out of a performance car.. specially a manual. Most of the fords and holdens mentioned above cost below $5k are auto and are in crappy condition... Owned by sh*t knackers out to impress friends and fu*k around. Cant say ive ever seen a skyline doing a burnout or doughey's on a public road.. accelerating fast yes, not often speeding.. Today tonight using stereotypes to get a decent story again methinks

sorry i agree with like all of your post except that....

how delusioned are you. lol.

[R31Nismoid]

just a butterup for the hoon laws here in Vic really.

For a article about street racing, what does the Syd MEO have to do with that. hink that was the most absurd part.

I do agree, the "hooning" footage looked to be in a controlled environment.

Another shameful TT news piece
