Anyone watch channle 7 2night?

ric777, were never going to agree but it is fun to debate.  

The thing is I DO  think the minister got up one morning and saw the recent media hype of street racing as an avenue to gain popularity.I mean there are already trafic laws and fines and jail time.

See i feel that there could have been a better option. That is providing the street racing population with better avanues then racing on a puplic street. If you have ever been to a proper orgainsed illegal street meet then you would see that these people are not the same as so call hoons. They will drive far out side of public areas as cearfully as posible as to not draw attention and then race on the flatest longest unpopulated road they can fined. I cant see that as being reckless.

The example i can think of is with drugs. They are illegeal but you see such places that facilitate drug uses with shooting rooms. And such help avaliable on educating party type drug uses. Now this will not get you a seat in parlarment but it will save a sh#t load of lives. fact.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

The fact that there are laws regarding, fines etc as you mentioned reinforces the fact that the minister had been getting her ass chewed off to do more on the problem.

Anyway I might also add that we started the Roo Gulley drag strip as we used to call it at the back of Karagullen a long, long time ago. They were fun times and because there were never that many people around we didn't get any visits from the cops. Don't know if they ever knew about it.

When I saw it on the news one night not long ago, it brought back memories and I was surprised that people still went up there. We used to hang around up in the hills so it wasn't out of the way for us.

To REPRAZENT, good call, hopefully the minister will be given a copy and advise the cops to keep the BS out of things.

Channel 10 news just ran a segment on safe driving etc and made mention of the new anti-hoon laws and mentioned that 6 cars have been impounded since friday night!!!

[caminperth]

Any ideas what type of cars?? Bets on it'll be dominated by cheap old Commodes.. I would say Falcons but they never had enough power to threaten the rear wheels..

Just noticed a post on the Spotted thread which stated that a soccer mum was driving a new 4by Mitsubishi and it had a yellow sticker on it. If that's the case, man are we in the shit. She must have got the biggest prick of a cop going around. :Paranoid:

[uneekwahn]

one of the cars they showed was a poo brown silvia.

they also showed that awesome footage of the phuckhead in the yellow line doing a burnout.

reprazent; cool ill try and see it. how did you just get a call?

Yep, from me. I was asked to look for a suitable person & car as my work knows I'm a bit of a hoon myself, and that I know some people with nice cars. I couldn't resist not picking Roni for the job as she's got a car that stands out (to both cops & public) and also races professionally on the side.

Saw her pics from the photoshoot earlier in week, and gotta say they are pretty nice esp from a non professional car photographer and on a digital SLR camera...hahahahaha (private joke between Rick & I)

Will appear in the 14/09 edition of Stirling Times. You won't be able to miss it that's for sure!!
