Surely thats what you would expect from the bogans on that particular forum.

The forum agreement when you sign up surely dictates you must be of the 'rip a skid' kind and be atleast 95% bogan. If they didnt have that automotive forum (if you can call it that) they would equally spread out amongst others polluting them with boganised crap and illegal automotive socialising.

Typical self centered f ucks, hope the police got some good photographs to back up the letters for EPA and roadworthy.

I'm all for skids but there is a place and time for everything, this was not the place.

Idiots.

^this

I wonder in which moment did these cluster fucks think that the police wont be writing all the plates down. Oh and awesome job on playing down the whole "hooning" image, fkn nuckle draggers.

Seriously f**king idiots..

I hope the lot of them get their cars impounded.. If not crushed for being so dumb.

If they wanted to 'rip skids' why didn't they have a track day or something like that in their memory?!

So embarrassing to even share the road with these people.

Am I the only one who sees the irony there...

Such a sad thing to happen. Reminds me of about 10 years ago with a guy i used to play ice hockey with. an absolute champ at such a young age got taken due to a driving accident.

As we left the funeral 1 ute driver bagged it up out the front, about 5 guys threw stuff at his ute for being a twat and not respecting the situation.

So what actually happened to the guys who died?

But what I wanna know is, why didn't the police stop the idiots doing burnouts and fine them on the spot?

Edit: Quote from Boostcruising.

To my knowledge the police were aware of what was to take place and blocked the road to allow it to happen.

According to some of the posts they died doing stupid shit.

As for the police, well apparently they only sent one car out to start with.... seriously outnumbered, what were they gonna do? :rolleyes:

It almost looks to me like they decided to just let them do it, and then move on, rather than start a full "incident" and have a mob on their hands

That's exactly how I'm reading it.

Being a funeral, the situation was always going to be emotionally charged - taking on those doing the burnouts could've ended up being very ugly.

The police blocked off the road - yeah sure, for the safety of the other motorists, that wasn't a green light for them to do what they did. I don't know a single cop that would intentionally block a public road and allow a burnout comp on it.

It's one thing to give it a go as you're leaving, it's another thing entirely to do standstills for an hour. It's selfish and it's disrespectful. Imagine if you were there visiting a loved one's grave, or even worse, having a funeral while all that crap was going on? This wasn't about giving someone a send-off, this was about using someone's death as an excuse to engage in a pissing contest.

I know if I was the funeral house, I'd be asking plenty of questions at future funerals if the deceased was a young male. Some of those marks look like they'll be there till the next millennium - not a good advertisement.

Problem is, boostcruising = SAU = any other modified performance car group to the media and general public, so they'll think we're those idiots.

Shell/Iron Chef - agree with your take on situation. Its reasonable to assume they will all get tickets etc in the mail. I certainly hope so.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
