The Wasteland - ACT Style

[GeeTR]

Yours, I sit next to you

A little chop shop called NCH

[race_snooze]

I need some new music... bored of my old stuff, want something like Korn, stained, seather, chevelle, tool. Its for work out music.

[Shell]

I've got Korns greatest hits... wanna copy?

I'm so observant (no really) - does anyone watch ABC on wednesdays, there's a show called Hollowmen which I accidently taped the beginning of, and anyway the intro has various shots of Canberra and I was about to delete it and then I spotted a Skyline! It's the arse end of a white R34. It's only a really quick shot, so I rewound and slowed it right down to be sure.

so there you go. just thought everyone should know.

try Cog's album Shaun... if you want something new... they're more rock, but can be a bit heavy-ish, you might like them

search for 'Bird Of Feather' on youtube

[MIVEC]

Bird of a Feather ain't too bad. Shaun you could always try Dragonforce, In Flames or Rise Against.

Or, the greatest metal band of all (no bias here) Iron Maiden

Crackdown on ACT car hoons

29/08/2008 12:05:00 PM

Car hoons have been targeted by police in Canberra, with authorities shutting off a rural arterial road after receiving a tip off about an illegal street race.

More than 60 drivers were breath tested, 11 cars slapped with defect notices and eight traffic fines were issued in a major clampdown last night on dangerous and irresponsible driver behaviour.

Police closed off a section of Naas Rd, south of the ACT rural town of Tharwa, after receiving a tip off about a street race and burnout meet.

Traffic Operations Acting Superintendent Peter Davis said the operation was part of an ongoing effort to reduce antisocial driver behaviour on Canberra's roads.

"Police are able to target these drivers with the assistance of the public and using unmarked police vehicles," he said.

"This group appeared to have arranged this meet which was quickly shut down by police.

"We will continue to target illegal behaviour and we would encourage anyone who may see this type of behaviour to contact police."

give us a race track then!

[Baconer]

haha, sounds like Rush Hour is getting targeted again, feel sorry for anyone who put the stickers on their cars

[Shell]

i always laugh at the name of that club.... being a canberra club and all

[GTRKat]

I've read on some other forums that they're cracking down a lot and people are leaving their cars in the carpark in places like Civic or at UC and coming back to find a nice defect sticker on them. Apparently all this has a lot to do with some of the dodgy street behavior that's going on in Canberra.

I know that this Rush Hour thing isn't new but has it recently gotten bigger or something? Not sure why its so much in the spotlight now?? Plan to stay as far away from that crap as possible

give us a race track then!

We've got the hillclimb track, Wakie is only an hour away and there is always rally. Not bad, although it could be better, keeping in mind that this town mainly supports theatre and arts with little support for motorsport. Bureaucracy makes official motorsport expensive for young people, so its a shame more tax dollars aren't going towards these things to keep it off the street.

Our local press doesn't cover much of local motorsport either, so promoting is difficult. I was amazed at how much the Bathurst press get behind their clubs... while I was up there at the beginning of the month it was covered on two TV stations (9&7) and their local magazine. I was on the front and back cover of their newspaper and I didn't even do anything special (just turned up), yet our clubs publicist has sent info/photos to quite a few of our local newspapers and they didn't get a mention (to my knowledge, and I was watching out).

Stanhope got rid of the V8's (sadly one of the few promises he did deliver on) and didn't deliver on his empty promise to build the Dragway within 18 months

Something to think about at voting time

[Michele]

Time for me to come out of my hole (well according to Rebecca I was born in the Ice Age) and ask what Rush Hour is? (I thought it was a title of a movie).

[GTRKat]

Some thing that goes on Thursday nights, I think the location varies. Has a lot of "car hoons" that gather and do burnouts and drifting etc. Attracts a lot of police attention.

I only know what it is cause a few of the boys on Canberra Cruises were mentioning it.

I don't know the truth to this but apparently a few weeks ago a cop was undercover and people found out and he got bashed.

[INVRTD]

so is "rush hour" a canberra thing of a area in genral
