This forum focus is on skylines primarily, with other high performance japanese cars also rating high mention. As the popularity of these cars increases on Australian roads and track, so too will the popularity and exposure of forums/sites such as this one. Due to these sorts of vehicles being largely popular to own for the purpose of modification and/or motorsport (however you wish to interpret the term), and also being very commonly owned by young men. (all of which are attributes that will gain the attention of those in law creation/enforcement and the media) The "scene" has been thrust into the spotlight particularly in the last few years.
Now with any success comes responsibility. If our community is going to be put under the spotllight, as we no doubt are. (Just look at the numbers of stories done by "journalists" woking for ACA/Today Tonight type programs, and the open admissions by police and politicians that they will target imports because of "hoon" behaviour and the ease of ability to extract more power) Then we must abide by the laws that we are give. Otherwise we will be seen as even less socially acceptable, and recieve even more grief from the police.
"One bad egg can rot the whole barrel" All we need is for one traffic cop or journalist to find a post encouraging/condoning something as illegal and contentious as street racing, for our scene to be judged on that alone and recieve more bad press. Thats why ANYTHING illegal should be kept away from these forums, simply to sustain a level of credibility and respect.
