Yeah, my mum came racing into the dining room this evening..

"Mark Mark look! Skylines have been caught hooning!!"

my reply:

"Great, just what I f**king need, more attention by the boys and blue, and people giving me sideways looks because of what I f**king drive...."

Just kept eating my roast... The media always screws car enthusiasts and I really couldn't be buggered tonight...

Mind you, I got caught for hoon laws last year, so call me a hypocrite, but at least I had the consideration TO DO IT IN A FREAKING VL COMMODORE!!!!

Im sure there is just as many falcadore and commonwhore drivers being hoons too.

In every club/culture/instituion etc there is a minority that will do the wrong thing. Even the police force...thats why they have internal affairs etc.

It cant be stopped and the public will always brand the whole group the same!

Just have to live with it and move on.

lol lucky for me the news crew wasnt there 5 mins earlier.....

they were nailing plenty of cars that night,12 to be exact, car club part might have something to do with the fact there was a cruise on fri night, and the cops knew about it.

who says they were giving sauwa a bad rep?? no where did i see or hear them use the name of any clubs.

The government needs to make some more places where people can go and push their cars to the limit. We have a drag strip at the bottom of perth and a race track at the top of perth (which is pretty crap) and we just need more. They forget about all the people that are into cars

Yes im sure that all of the posters in this thread have never broken a law in their lives. :(

I suppose threads like are just a part of life as are news based shows making a fuss about "the menace on our streets: endangering our children and raping our pets"

Im in the "ignore it and it will go away" boat im afraid.

I'm so bored of these threads. If someone tells you your a hoon because of the car you drive.. slap em over the head or something and tell em to wake up to the fact that its people that drive cars not cars that drive people.

But anyway I'm sure pretty much everyone on here has done silly stuff in their cars at one stage.. you just didnt get caught on camera like that guy.

I'm not saying I've always been an angel on the road. I've had speeding fines and a car accident when I was 18. I have learnt from all that.

I just wish the media would stop generalising, as for the most part, I am a safe driver as I'm sure most of you are.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
