Picked up the paper and the byline screamed, “Police seek white Skyline driver”.

OK a Skyline driver did something silly, but how often do we read, “Police seek naturally aspirated V6 Commodore driver”?

Never.

Something about the Skyline name conjures up images of fast/furious smoking tyres and in most of those cases it will be some dunger Commodore or a rusted-out S chassis.

The local rag must have mentioned “white Skyline” at least 4-times in the report while the main story of a “B” double car transporter roll-over read more like an ad for Claytons Towing.

I was surprised the usual "high powered turbo Nissan Skyline" wasn't quoted. Have to wonder if any of these scribblers have ever been for a drive in a stock Rb, it's not all that exhilarating.

Got to love integrity in journalism, oxymoron anyone??

Fact: NA V6 Commodores are the fastest ever man-made object. All people ever see is a blur, so they cannot be identified when involved in criminal activity. :P

I guess it's much the same as any article about a road incident involving a person under the age of 25 classifying them as a "hoon", or "boy racer" in NZ.
