So just because hooning like this is LESS dangerous BUT still dangerous it is acceptable? Love your argument there.

Whatever way you look at it, hooning should not be acceptable in any form in residential areas. Sure, dropping a skid or two can be really fun, but there are certain places where this sort of behaviour should never leave.

One kid dropping a skid might be encouraged by John his mate to do more dangerous things, and boom, you get people doing mini-races in no time. And people get killed.

When were young we used to go to industrial estates to get away from the general public so as to try to control things a little better, I have seen a mate put a mint XT GT through a cyclone wire fence doing a bit of a skid, I was at the summernats years ago when a burnout when wrong and ended in the crowd.

The first thing I thought with this thread was the Troy Critchley, demo burnout that went wrong killing people

http://www.smh.com.au/news/motorspor...s_cid=rss_news

very good example Ratter, Troy Critchley had probably done hundreds of burnouts with no problem, and he probably never dreamed anything would go wrong on this day, the old saying "poo happens" is very appropriate.

Its called residential for a reason.... this is where people live, sometimes VERY close together and sometimes to the detriment of others. If people are unable to get along with their neighbours and act like bogans or ferals constantly, why does everyone else have to put up with it?

There is a time and place for everything and you come to expect some "acceptable" noise where you live.... but having twats like these doing it constantly just winds EVERYONE else up to the point where people start taking matters into their own hands because the law is sometimes very slow.

This happened in Townsville a few years ago where some young "hoons" were constantly doing burnouts in a small dead end street. A resident had enough of the constant hooning and tried to confront them.

He was run down deliberately by these young idiots and they then turned around and tried to run him down a second time.

If you believe acting like an idiot in a residential area where kids, old people, families live, is socially acceptable then you seriously have rocks in your head.

If you continually push people to the brink and think its haha funny because you think your tough, then eventually someone will come round with a 4by2 and do you over.....

I live next door to ferals and used to have young morons (who are now thankfully gone) who drove around in an unregistered commodore and would constantly do burnouts and travel up and down the road at very high speed.

Want to act like a idiot? buy some acreage and move out of town... a long way out.

[MAD]

It seems like these guys are doing it purely to annoy a particular neighbour.
Using the Torana as an example; Why else would you pull up in your driveway, then back out and do a burnout just to put it back in the garage.
I wonder what more to this story there is.

Low speed it might be, but there is alot of potential (well close enough, its kinetic aswell) energy ready to go flying when a simple component fails.

Its a little pinky wiggle for me.

On the burnout pad it's awesome... on the street everyone's laughing at you

Would've lolled hard if that snot-green torana ploughed the brick letterbox on the way into the garage

I used to shoot my .303 Bren machine gun, M60, Steyr, M16A2 and MP5 in Walker St in Maryborough about 300m from high density housing. Of course I always aimed AWAY from the houses.

lol, I wanna go to your place on the 4th Sunday of each month

That's true too.

Some knob did a burnout and took out a light pole in my street not so long back. Many lol's had but it could of easily landed on the families house that it was located on. Fortunately it only ended up in their car buggered and being arrested by the cops

Aussie bogan work at it's finest, giving A Current Affair & Today Tonight a reason to broadcast. VB and southern cross tattoos a plenty... Just very glad not to be living near this calibre of scum.

Burnouts in residential streets where children could be playing etc... disgraceful. Now... where's that sterilisation wand?

Hahahahahaha, flappy, you have reset your own benchmark for satire and sarcasm.

10/10!

Go to almost any clay target club.

They are mostly in town and often beside the runway of the local airport.

Wedding hoon tip-off family targeted with box of fireworks

A FAMILY that filmed a hoon in a wedding day burnout has had a 6kg box of fireworks ignited outside their home in the northwestern suburb of Taylors Hill.

******* bunch of *********, no doubt they will get away with that as well. If the law can't help, might as well take the law into their own hands and throw a box or two of fireworks inside the Torrie for a nice burnout...

You mentioned the cul-de-sac. You do realise that some suburban roads do not have houses within several hundred metres.

Just to make it clear.

I do not support doing burnouts next to other people's houses especially if they do not want to happen.

On the other hand if it is a dead end street, everyone who lives in the street does not object and kids etc. are being looked after by their parents at a safe distance then what is the problem?

I thought my example of a cul de sac would be ample to demonstrate that I meant the typical Australian suburb such as where these burnouts were conducted.

Come shooting those weapons or dropping burnouts continuously up my street and the cops will know about it, but i'm sure your a responsible adult and would do such things mate


Pottery Beige, come kiss em if you want, but don't drop a burnout up my street ;)

[pottery beige]

deleten..

[Kieron]

LOL, no you can't do whatever you want in my street and my cop neighbour would ensure of that.
Being a cop doesn't make you above the law, in fact i'm sure the Police dept. would be interested in one of their own hooning in a suburban street

I love the trust you have in the skills of each and every person with a few horsepower and a heavy right foot doing burnouts in suburban areas...

[mik]

there is one other thing apart from all the rest, and that is that these dipsticks make all car enthusiasts look bad.

SV6 (just an example)...

Agree.
If you what most road users, they are knowingly (uncaring?) driving more danerous than someone doing a burnout.
Difference, you can see and hear a burnout.
The others driver dangerously and no one notices.

When was the last time someone was injured or died in Aust from a burnout?
The road toll is what, 270+?

hehe i agree it sounds like they are complaining for a one-off incident. doesn't really sound like they are terrorising the neighbourhood.

how come the police booked that F1 driver for his little skid, but won't go around this neighbourhood to talk to these people doing full out burnout?

LOL I reckon I can narrate every word in that movie with the sound off. Absolute Aussie revhead classic!
Should be taught in schools as lessons on the noble art of hooning :-)
The lead actor rides lives in Bunbury these days and rides a Guzzi.

[Streets]

Somewhat relevant:

http://www.news.com.au/national/poli...-1226222390731

Whether or not dangerous drivers need to be *****-slapped, it's totally not worth throwing your police career away (not to mention damaging public perception of all police everywhere) for a couple of grubs

[bluovl]

Can anybody that has watched the footage of the burnout tell me why everytime I see it on television, the footage is sped up??
Is it for the media to exagerrate the 'horror'. I dont know.

That's what i was thinking too!

Cheap security camera, only taking snaps at a few frames per second. When it's played back at full speed (25fps) it looks fast.

Simple solution is to get married at Summernats!

You should try living near a T junction on a dirt road, every wanna be rally driver that tries to be a drift king usually runs out talent pretty quick!

And again it is a particular brand of vehicle.
