i believe it is morons who own skylines giving skyline owners a bad name

[88silhouette]

yeah spot on. they're not arseholes mate. but anyway, let's not dwell on it guys. just thought i'd spot the article to ya's.

"Their communications appear to be organised," Chf Insp Smith said.

As opposed to disorganised, resulting in a 'no drag race' situation... lol

Why do Oz authorities say such stupid shite?

[Henros]

"Their communications appear to be organised,"

That's coz everyone's got their group buy CBs...

[ix9]

I'm with you Henros,

"Their communications appear to be organised," Chf Insp Smith said.

Well, strap on his cape and put his undies inside out! It's CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

[88silhouette]

not much use in mocking them. it's just an article reporting to the general public. there's a lot of simple people out there who need it put simply.

I agree with u ronin, its the idiots that drive these cars that give them (and the rest of us responsible drivers) a bad name. What really pisses me off is the fact that half these idiots probably live within 10-15 minutes of eastern creek where they can drag race legally on a wednesday night once a month. This article is in the sydney daily telegraph today aswell

[51jay]

and if several hundred extra people turned up at Eastern Creek would they all get a run ??

[Guest RedLineGTR]

think this is the 6th thread thats up...i think there is one in each state nearly...hehe

Well including track days which are on several times a month at various tracks around town can easily accommodate for large numbers. All I am saying is that there is a time and a place to give your car a flogging, doing it on public streets with 100 others is just asking for trouble. If u have to get off on the roads just smoke a commodore or falcon off the lights. LOL. Always does it for me.

[oh to dream]

its people like this that give skyline enthusiast a bad name. it annoys me to think that 'p' platers who want to illegaly drag race can give a negative sterotype to the general public when most of the people that drive a skyline (especially a gtr) are in their 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's.

Last night several notices were issued to cars with wheels that were too big and others that had been lowered for better cornering.

what a joke.. so if a car handles better, it deserves a defect?

nice one...

u say drag racing on public streets is bad but yet u can easily say that smoking a commodore or falcon at the lights is right?? umm from what i know this is also illegal

so basically your contradicting what you just said

[Pva_Glue]

hahahahahhahah lol Go skylines

[Damo]

Chaos,

Giving your car a little squirt off the lights will never hurt anyone (in my opinion) and I never said anything about going over the speed limit.

I do not believe that having 2 different opinions on 2 issues that are at such opposite ends of the scale is a contradiction.

And I cant imagine why my opinion would concern you unless u are on of these fast and furious drag racers or you are driving miss daisy.

the inspector said it all when he said:

"They [drag racers] generally don't like to congregate on highways. They tend to choose the back streets where there are less cars so they can race up and down the street freely"

doesnt this show that they are at least thinking about waht they are doing and trying to do it in a spot that will pose the least risk to society. making sure that innocent persons awould not be affected by their actions (except for the noise pollution)?

dont get me wrong, i dont condone what they did for a second, but surely the police were over reacting a bit when they went over ever car that was there. at least the "p" plater had enough sense to do it in an industrial area where there were less cars and things to hit.

I do agree with Damo when he says that a squirt off the lights never hurt anybody, as it is over in a very short period of time and they never usually exceed the speed limit.

just my 2 cents
