Big Boys Toys Night

well... they could have waited for us at every carpark exit as we were leaving

[B-rad33]

This is becoming beyond a joke, next thing you know, they'll be outside your house waiting for you..

No one was doing anything wrong.

hun........ we were mindin our own business, cars were turned off, parked well inside the sectioned area, not annoying no1, people were enjoying themselves, crowds were liking the cars...

oh well its done and happened now. let the organisers do their thing. nothing any of us can do.

Is it illegal to stick your middle finger up at a police officer (without actually saying anything)? Just wondering.

Its nice to see all the support people are giving.

Whether anythin comes out of this, its still nice to know how people feel.

This is the reason I didn't go...although I thought the problems would be as people left the event.

The problem I see with what the police have done here is (although they might have been within their legal right to do it) to deter enthusiests going to organized events. Imagine if they decided to put this sort of presence at an organized drag night at a drag facility. People would not end up going to those and instead move more to the illegal street drags which the event is put on to prevent. I thought the idea of these organized events are to give enthusiests a legal outlet for something they are passionate about.

We had already thought of this - then guess what, cop gets out of car and orders every one to put on their number plate

umm, no.

Hmm yes they are, the new SE TMU cop shop is at the end of my street and boy those cop cars do no where near 50km/h down my street (This is even in their private vehicles BTW).

You try driving your car in fear that you just reverse on the street and will be pulled over by some smack tard with a chip on his shoulder. The reason our types of cars are targeted over rust buckets is plan and simple.......

The cops are scared that they won't be able to keep up with us end of story. Plus that cops will look at the car and go nice car, hmm drawn attention now better meet my quoter for the day!

It is BS my misses could be driving my car and the coppers won't even look twice, if I am driving it I get looks of contempt and being labeled a hoon when I am not.

I am car enthusist who takes pride in their car and hence the reason it has been off the road being re-sprayed for the past month. Till the heat seattles down from the young drop kicks who decieded to show their mates look I can do a burnout in a shit box VS commonwhore. We are all going to need to be carefull about how our cars are presented and make sure we meet the legal requirements. If we meet it them the coppers have nothing to pick on. (BTW That pevs a copper of more than actually have the satisfaction of giving you a defect) If you want to get even, make sure your cars are legal for the street.

but it is just that. boys will be boys. the current generation will most probably do it for a few months/years then they will grow out of it, but then the younger kids will start doing the same things.

i remember when i was younger that i did similar things and other boys did the same. i went back to my town and saw all the kids that were in year 5/6 when i was in year 9/10 doing similar things and going to similar haunts that i did. you cannot stop them, the only thing that can be done is providing them with legal and safe opportunities to be a hoon. which is cheap.

what did it cost the ppl at noble park maccas, nothing. so i dont think they will be willing to spend $120-200+ to go on a track 6 times a year. maybe a carpark every weekend for maybe $10-30 might just do it. but even then you will find kids that would rather hoon on the streets.

a prime example is drugs/alcohol/ciggies not allowed before 18, but how many ppl 17 and under drink? how many parents get ciggies/alcohol for their under 18 kids?
