lols @ nanny in this thread
There is a little difference in something decent tapping it up on the brakes at a wedding and some toothless, half cut, rat tailed cracky trying to skid his VN out the front of your place at 3am fo shizzle |

These days I have had a few mates admit to doing it once or twice when they are 'only just over', but nothing like the stories I have heard from the 'good old days' Obviously people still drink drive, but from the stories I hear it's nothing like it used to be. |

I disagree. If I'm going to be woken up at 3am in either case, at least I'll be entertained by something that looks and sounds cool if it's an exotic, and not a VN. I was visiting Kuala Lumpur a couple of years ago and some dude in a brand new porsche gt3 decided to cut laps around the city, full noise at 3am. It was a pleasure to listen to fine German engineering, despite the lack of sleep. Interestingly, after doing it for long enough to presumably run out of fuel, there was still no sign of police. I'm not suggesting we take a leaf out of the book from Malaysian police by the way. But the way they do business is just as underhanded as some hwy patrol car hiding in the bush at the bottom of a hill with no previous accident history, waiting for the slightest lapse in speedometer monitoring. I sometimes feel like I'm watching the speedometer more than the traffic around me. Apologies, I've digressed from the subject at hand!

Was awoken to the sound of an M5 doing a solid skid out the front of our apartment in New York this morning, looked out the window and got full view of of a gorgeous rear end going sideways for 150m up the street at full noise, it was glorious |

Late one night in March, 2003, two guys in their Commodores (one a VT, the other a VS) decide to have a race along Five Islands Rd, Port Kembla.
Driver of the VT lost control, and was stopped by a telegraph pole.Dead before the noise of the impact subsided.Driver of VS fled. Friend of mine who at the time was a police officer at Port Kembla was saying that the speed at time of impact was estimated to be 190kph. Police pleaded with the other driver to come forward.To no avail. Big article in the Illawarra Mercury with his mates saying what a great bloke he was, loved his car etc etc. Huge funeral covered by Illawarra Mercury and WIN news. Fast forward to May, 2003, and Mrs Vekgib and I are guests at the wedding of a work colleague of Mrs Vekgib. At the conclusion of the service, as the bridal party depart for the traditional photo session, they climb into three HSV's. All three drivers give their cars a little poke as they leave,but nothing ridiculous. The flower girl and page boy leave in a VS Commodore which does a burnout at the front of the church and then proceeds to get it sideways up the street as it chases the HSV's. Two months after his mate was killed, he not only had learned SFA from it, but nobody seemed to have a problem with what he did at the church with two young children in the car. I'm no wowser, but upon viewing that video, my mind takes me back to that day almost twelve years ago. I just can't comprehend the need for that behaviour.

Is that whole Queen st. area just full of fully hectic lebos? Hear nothing but bad things about anything automotive to do with Queen st.
So stupid to do that **** in a residential neighborhood. all those flash cars, and all that money, hire a racetrack or something for the day and do it properly. The 'pro' defence is silly as well. Professional drivers crash and seriously injure or kill themselves all the time. Hell Paul Walker a car nut died in a crash with a professional driver driving. Pros are still human, **** like this is meant for the track not suburban streets. |

What does that have to do with anything? His whole point was that cars thesedays are a lot more powerful and its true. Many 4cyl crs thesedays put out more power than many of the v8s of old. 4cyl cars previously have no power at all doesn't change that, not one bit.

Not so glorious unfortunately. I don't really mind people doing that sort of stuff just not in housing estates, go out and do it where no one is. |
