lovely comments guys, very good to see people from different walks/makes giving what is basically the same idea. this is what the aim of this website is. to get away from "you're not cool because you don't drive .

being a swift driver, i have had the unfortunate opportunity to see the worst in some people. i know my car isnt exactly a drag weapon or a circuit monster, but i find it to be an amazingly fun drive. it is also the people who don't have a clue what they are talking about that throw the sh!t.

i also believe an enthusiast to be someone who respects their own car as well. i love my car, and i love giving it a good thrashing every now and again, but i prefer to do it where the chances of my actions effecting someone elses life/livelyhood are non existent.

just last night there was a guy in a maroon-riced-up-to-the-eyeballs-civic doing doughnuts between the bi-lo/strand maccas carpark and the seaview in a front wheel drive. had he lost it, there could have been some dire consequences.

im not going to stand on a pedestal and say ive never done anything wrong, but i think that some people in this town need to be reminded that driving dangerously isn't tolerated and not accepted.

we have to lose the hoon badge that the media/society has dumped on us.

im actually thinking of hitting up a journo mate to come out for a cruise one night and see what some of the ENTHUSIASTS do when out driving to get a different perspective.

any thoughts?

Every time in the past the media has been invited to come view/film car enthusiasts they just use the footage for some Hoon story. Even when invited to the Street commodores cruise for charity which runs in all capital cities of Australia annually and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity they decline to come and actually shed a good light on the car scene for once. I wouldn't bother with the media unless you know the people very very well.

It's not that it's funny but it's just bad irony that this happens every time the media want to ask questions. My inlaw is Ian Fraser who works for the Bully and he's regularly asked me about the Townsville car scene and my opinions , unfortunately I haven't been able to tell him much and give it a good wrap since these tards keep swift it when they read something even remotley promising.

I think the solution is we all need to carry a Police dog with us cos you don't mess with inspector Rex
