ok. basically i emailed aca within the lines of something like: it was a bit one sided, were not all hoons, bla bla bla bla bla. i also highlighted theyre tendancies to steal video's from youtube with japanese images. and also speeding up the camera 2x normal speed.
and this is what i got. take from it what u will.
Hi there.
Thanks for your email regarding the hoon story. You'll be interested to know half of the "common car hoons" I interviewed for the story have thanked me for not portraying them as complete hoons!
FYI, we weren't expecting to run into any car enthusiasts and all 3 groups of people interviewed in the story approached us, it wasn't the other way around.
Here's the response I got from one of the young guys:
Subject: Kate Donnison - Thanks
Name: Jago
Address: Tallai, Gold Coast
Your Story: Hi Kate,
Appreciate the story for at least not portraying myself and Adam as 'complete' hoons! :-)
Jago
....You'll be pleased to know they all frequent boostcruising.com, as did I throughout the duration of the story and the guy who sent the thank you is known as "retarded monkey"! They were concerned they would be misquoted and they weren't because they all spoke like reasonable intelligent young people.
The one guy who had a go at Dawn, did so of his own accord and came looking for us..cameras and all! Clearly he's giving the rest of you a bad name.
The majority of emails we've had were positive because people could see the "common car hoons" were at the very least, suggesting a solution!
Once again, thanks for your response...negative or not we appreciate all feedback!
Regards,
