Polish hoon finds car in tree

[Chopped]

You don't need a fast/good car to think you are a street racer.
Most try hard hoons have crap cars, I see plenty.
They drive them like a d*ckhead which is what annoys the locals.

(I'd say tractors are the main form of tpt in that town.)

Like the guy who worked for Cosworth in England a few years ago. Drove a nice (if there is such a thing) 60's Ford Anglia. His friends at Cosworth slipped a worked Cosworth 2 liter and 5 speed into it and he was clocked at 160mph on the M1. That being one of the main motorways in England. Would have been a hairy drive.

Members of a Polish village tormented by a hoon driver have taken revenge by hoisting the young man's hotted-up car onto the top of a tree.

Unlicenced street racer Zbigniew Filo, 24, had enraged residents of Lubczyna for months by speeding around in his white Ford Escort, making noise and putting locals' lives at risk with his thrill-seeking antics, the Mirror reports.

A police spokesman said they received a call from a man who said his car was stuck in a tree and his neighbours had put it there.

"After inspecting the site we instructed him to remove it from the tree," he added.

No one has claimed responsibility for the prank but one villager said another man's mobile crane had been borrowed the night before the car was relocated.

A neighbour said he supported the vigilante justice because Mr Filo was a reckless driver and could have killed someone.

"Perhaps he'll think twice about his hair-raising driving and about getting a licence or who knows where his next car might end up?"

Mr Filo took said he got the message but added "it was a bit harsh".

A mobile crane was used? Wouldn't someone have heard it or the people cracking up and laughing? I know I wouldn't have been able to keep quiet!

I drive cranes for a living and the one thing I first thought is how did they do it, I mean would you climb that tree with a car balanced in it too remove the lifting slings???

This was before "hoon laws" too, so the cops would just turn up and chat him.

...not that I'd know anything about that...

Thtas awesome. I had a school mate who was a douche like that in his commodore. And he did smash into the front of a house causing 25 grand damage. Spent his whole summer working 7 days a week to pay it off hahahaha. O and did I mention his dad was a cop?

Almost true

I think you'll find that was quite a few years ago and the owner was none other than Jim Clark.

Was written in his autobiography...The Jim Clarke Story
