So TMU left a calling card...

[Thestu]

I'm down for organizing a rally against this shit. The laws are screwed in Australia. I've been pulled over more times that most of you have had hot dinners. I was pulled over twice by 2 different police cars with 250m once...and defected for no water in my washer bottle...WTF. The first cop loved my car and he said it was nice and low! the next cop was a fagget. this was 2am btw and I was doing 60 in a 60...

I was driving through and intersection yesterday and the lights were out. There were police directing traffic and one officer spots me, points and yells out "Raise your car you bloody idiot" seriously...I wasn't speeding or riding up some guys arse just cruising along low and slow. Its crap.

I'm thinking a Friday night (nice and busy!) I would like to make it invite only as we don't want tool bag dickheads there. I'll message some people because I know this shit is just getting ridiculous!

My mate Matt told me that he was driving around in the UK his golf. He got stuck on a speed bump...a cop was driving past and he asked for help and they just called him an idiot for having such a low car and told him to fix it himself! Wish cops did that here!

best piece of advice I can give is to try n get pulled over on the eastern freeway in peak hour. when the TMU car signals to pull over, head left towards the bus lane. once you're there, headcheck and perfectly co-ordinate for the bus to collide with the cop car in the far left bus lane.

so far - 100% success rate.

If you can't beat em - TROLL EM.

its small number of knobs that rebel n do illegal stuff on the streets that gives the modifying scene a bad rep that n the cops just want to make money.. all bout the money. bloody revenue making!

[DRVSLW]

^do it.

and great find on that article Vyet.

It's funny how the majority of cars picked up by cops for impound are commodores and generally old rust buckets and also p plater's parents cars. whats the bet we see an impound lot full of built jap cars? unlikely.

problem is there is a HUGE group of young people who like the HOON tag and like to rebel. I'm all for these idiots to get their cars taken, but people trying to work within the law to do the right thing and get dicked in the process.....not cool.

in regards to the topic of this thread - I think going to the US to live would be perfect for you Ox, couldn't see a better future for you anywhere but there, you'll love it. go for it dude fuck melbourne. I''ll be gone from here in the next few months anyway.

hmm we have a speed camera on our street this week (<3 herald sun naming the positions every week) do they record number from which the phone calls made? i have his rego etc im tempted to ring in and say he just sped down my street and is now sitting on the nature strip talking on his phone

there use to be a place where people could "hoon" legally

it was called DragTag and i think they even had a burnout pad people could use for very cheap

but what happened is cops started to camp outside DragTag and defect everyone, so the place lost business and shut down

it just shows that this isn't about making the roads safe, its all about the revenue

I've heard about dragtag before but fk you serious? now that's just fkt, it's like when cops camp outside winton! That shit is just unfair man, people are trying to do the right thing.

thats coz the government doesn't care about car enthusiasts

we are a minority

"give the hoons a place to go" = encouraging hooning in their eyes

Pretty much spot on man, they don't give a fk and even if there was a burnout pad and it was free they will still hoon and it's these idiots that get the rest of us targeted.

ORLY!? Too bad it's not in Vic..

The whole Hoon thing make my blood boil.

My Dad has been working for the past 2 years with local council and his car club PIARC to give something back to the car community. He says fair enough driving aorund doing skids is probably not the best thing to do but where are the places to do it???

They give drug users safe injecting rooms where do car people get?

We have the following car places:

- Philip Island
- Sandown
- Winton
- Heathcote
- Calder
- DECA
- Huanted hills
- Rob Roy
- Plus a few dirt circuits.

To compete at any of these venues you need to get there, pay an entry fee, and for most have some form or CAMS, AASA or ANDRA license. To most blokes this is too much $$$ ot too much effort, you can juts drive 15mins and hit up a local industrial estate. The average entry fee to these places is around $150+ and you will also need a track worthy car which im sure your average commodore or ke70 with a welded diff wont pass.

Not everyone is as lucky as me to have a father who is a racing instructor and iv driven on tracks since I was 14 years old.

The government/Police/do-gooders want "hoons" off the street how about giving there some where to go.

LOLZ to the pic. but the pic pretty much describes what melbourne has become for modified cars.

Absolutley agree with what Lukes said. Cops or Vic police are just hypocritical paper pushes who unfairly target modified rides just cause where easy to spot and it make them 'look' like there bettering the community to get us 'hoons' of the road while really the fuckers are just revenue making, not doing there jobs and commercializing this incorrect definition of hooning when 90% of the ppl ive met in our community do the correct thing. I ve seen more taxi drivers and ppl our parents age cut off, run reds and cause accidents!!

i cant even go past 40 k's without my guards scrubbing my guards so much that my bumper pops out let alone speed or do burnouts!! *sad face*

def need to flood the hoon hotline and FB page for the WIN!!!

[vyets]

yea a riot would be good only problem... you'll get those hoons that will come and will do dumb shit so the rest of us will look like dickheads anyway.

Problem is all these like pages on FB that has to do with cops and defects are full of hoon faggots that actually WANT to rip burnouts and shit infront of cops..

[Oxer]

Vyet, they can check to see if a car is defected, after mine I was tailed by cops on prinny, they didn't even pull me over.

I'm gonna get a sticker made up for the civic, "Quick, call hoon hotline!!" With the number on there and all.
