OK...'hoon driving' FWIW is a big issue down here at the moment...hot election topic as we have State elections later in the year.

The Govt is under pressure, the police are under pressure...whole lot of issues that you guys wouldn't know about as it's local stuff.

Go read this first:
Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton has car impounded under anti-hoon laws | Herald Sun

Then this for some background - bad place on this day to be doing burnouts...just saying...
La Porchetta founder Rocco 'Rocky' Pantaleo killed in motorcycle crash | Herald Sun

Then read this:
GP Felipe Massa ace warns Victoria's hoons | Herald Sun

I wasn't there...I didn't actually see what went down...maybe the police should have handled this with a slighter hand...I can tell you though that the area is really busy at GP time; lots of pedestrians not watching where they are going etc; lots of congestion...

Bad choice by Hamilton; maybe overly heavy reaction by the police...but I think the cops were damned if they do and damned if they don't under the current circumstances.

Yea, we all know that YOU are much faster than he is, but are just doing this behind the computer monitor so you will not show him up!

Who is the wanker?

Of course, Porsche owners never participate in "hoon driving"

That would be the least of your worries here. Looking like a gender bender would see you in more trouble with a few of the locals....

Yeah...we had to suffer that piece of crap NZ tv show over here on our public funded channel ABC...probably to keep the NZ population happy here...not my cup of tea humour at all (and not just that sketch - lame as it was)...whole show is just weak and boooorrrrrrriiiiinnnnnnggggggg.......zzzzzzzzzzzzz zz

Don't worry; Australia make some crappy garbage just like that too - with public money....they like to call it "art"....f---kheads...

Lisa if your ancestors were fast enough to run from the cops you'd be British!

Don't feel bad. I'm Irish, Scottish, and Swedish.

As in my family used to be Irish and Scottish...until the Vikings came.

LOL.
