Mike Rann has flooded the media with so much hoon bs that each and every supporter of him is now sick of "hoons", whether they have ever witnessed hoon activity (loosely defined) or not.

Regardless of whether Rann has supposedly brainwashed the public against hoons or not, residents are going to call the cops when this sort of thing happens in their area.

I know that I'd be calling the cops too (and have done so for less) if someone was ripping skids in my area or street.

You don't have to be a Rann lover to get pissed off by dickheads driving like wankers.

gee over the yrs we all know what n.s crusies turn into i honestly dont know why any of you bother too attend them . it always ends up in grief for someone .

if ya roll with wankers its a sure thing the cops wont be far behind and a fair chance they dont care who they sticker .

I actually think over the past couple years their big cruises have got progressively worse. I think it comes down to the fact that with the increased every day attention import drivers are getting on the street, people are just leaving their car in the garage most of the time. So when they finally do bring there cars out for a special event like the big cruises then they try and make up for it.

You have to remember though that from well over 100 cars that were on the cruise there were probably only <20 that were miss-behaving (there was a video posted on one of the thread for a short while of their antics).

Hahahaha sounds like a pretty sick cruise then. Ns.com cruises are pretty much the most fun you can have/watch in your car. Think back to the Hardtuned mega cruise last year. That was at least 300 cars at 2 meet spots... good times.

Shame that SAPOL rocked up, though.

Nothing wrong with a bit of spirited driving, eh? You'll get this kind of behaviour on any cruise you organize. Even once when I had 4 mates going up for a drive through the hills, we ended up having a Cefiro following us out of no where sliding everywhere, linking, etc.

Always fun times on ns.com cruises.

exactly. everyone just likes to bitch and moan. everyone i spoke to on the cruise loved it. excellent selection of roads, a nice pace, great cars out. had a ball.

i am noticing tho that the people having a bitch are pansies on the road not taking their car over 2500 rpm. if u dont enjoy spirited driving, STFU and dont come on cruises.

I agree, i enjoyed the roads and had a good pace behind a wrx.

However, those complaining are those who witnesses people stopping to do skids and driving continuously on the wrong side of the road on blind corners. That aint spirited driving.

i reckon the after talk online and videos is more damaging than the actual act, today tonight might start calling ns.com an underground network of illegal activity but there just to blatent to actually hide what there doing

it could have been played off as a few exagerating callers but theres no way the forums wouldnt reveal what happened, there always full of the details of what went down

i aint complaining though they can do what they like. seems you got 2 sorts of people on that cruise though 1s who like to go nutz like its a nd4sp arcade and 1s that prefer casual cruise. calling the people who wanted a casual cruise stupid and telling them to shut up dosnt seem very polite to me. good move would be to attempt to provide seperate cruises to cater for each perhaps? hell even better seperate car clubs

i know, actually blocking off the roads to hold stand stills is pushing it a bit far.

however i think people just like to complain these days. ripping a skid here and there doesnt hurt anyone and we all love watching a few.

just think a few years back everyone used to go out every friday for a cruise, carpark meet up, and the occasional skid. everyone knew their limits and there was no probs. now everything is a reason to complain. its not a crime to say u enjoy fast cars and skids.

Edited December 14, 2009 by steveP

technically doing the skid is a crime but yes some people get a bit emo about the slightest wheelspin

at first i assumed the complaints about the cruise were just people being tossers about the slightest bit of reving etc

Theres a time and a place for skids. Public roads are not it.

So long as you do it somewhere you're not risking killing anyone but yourself.... go for your life

This debate/argument still going on from sunday night... :\

[PREISS]

Your biker mates Roo,. were some of them in 'team swat' ? I know what it stands for. I'm just asking as i know some of your biker friends.

Also. I think some people are being a little harsh on the whole NS website. I have nothing to do with the site myself. But I read up on the cruise, There seems to be some genuine people on there. And some people hurting at the expense of heros etc. They have a much larger community than sau. Ofcourse there are going to be tools.

[Inline 6]

the debate has been going on for a year now

join the debate team weezy, you a liberal or a......wtf the other 1 called?

There is no simple way to fix this problem but the way i get around it is ( i don't go on a NS cruiser's full stop ) 50% of problem gone .

[Weezy]

No debating for me Dan aha,

I enjoyed the cruise for what it was, people like Dave were unlucky it happens.

Lets put it blunt, he'd be the first person to 'lol' at anyone who did get defected if he DIDNT get done

[AndrewJZX100]

i am noticing tho that the people having a bitch are pansies on the road not taking their car over 2500 rpm.

I more noticed the opposite. People trying to give off the impression they are angels on the road and never take their cars over 2500 rpm, condemning others bad behaviour when there's every chance they themselves would've engaged in similar behaviour in the past to that of those they are condemning.

Pretty much the definition of hypocrisy

But in the end I care very little because their words bare no effect on the enjoyment I feel when driving my car, by myself/with my mates, the way that I like to drive it. And this will continue to be the case

thats the spirit andrew, no one can stop you driving like a girl in the hills

o yeah i said that b*tch what ya gonna do bout it
