That's the beauty of viral advertising (if you can pull it off)... I've seen this video around Facebook and the likes (even shared by non car folk!), so it's getting around Australia despite the 1km/h-over-the-speed-limit-will-kill-everyone mob that would stop it going to air!

I'm a left wing pussie and I'm not complaining. Best we keep political insults out of this thread hey?

Actually I will complain, I think her drifting is poor and donuts lacking finesse. Doesn't show the car to its best, probably why the odd editing.

1,200 built and all sold I believe, waste of time advertising a vehicle that's not available.

As much as I love the Falcon and will keep my FG XR8 (bought new) indefinitely if the new Mustang is stupidly priced. Ford AU need to and are moving on from the once mighty Falcon.

That ad is obviously aimed at female buyers as well as males so is very clever, I wonder if online marketing is governed by the pussies in power who ban this sort of stuff from our TV sets?

the "1km/h-over-the-speed-limit-will-kill-everyone mob" here, is the government. and their agendas go way beyond what most people comprehend.

we, Australia, are a different experiment to the US of A

they know exactly what they're doing here implementing confiscations on "performance" vehicles.....

the hoon legislation had ZERO to do with public outcry or 'do-gooder' lefties as some want to believe

It is a planned assault from the get go by government on the aussie car enthusiasts and the ENTIRE industry that isn't $19,990 **** boxes they build out of their peasant based corporations

Don’t think for one moment Australians are the only ones at the mercy of hard to understand Government reasoning, the Yanks can’t be tough and silly as well.

Laws from State to State can differ greatly and a good example is a learner’s permit can be obtained in some States at 14 years through to 16 years in others.

A full licence is available in many States from 16 years and 6 months through to 21 years in Maine.

When my kids were learning to drive and just obtaining their licences we had to be aware of the age restrictions because having a licence in one State doesn’t allow you to drive in another if their age limit is higher.

The same can be said for hash ‘hoon’ type laws.

Some States are more heavy handed than others. No leeway speeding fines are common in some part of the US.

Here’s a photo I took on Sunset Boulevard where a loud exhaust will get you into trouble. There was a cop with some type of camera mic thingy parked just a bit further on from this sign.

And they let people drive on the wrong side of the road.

there is no legislation of the kind we have here, in ANY state of the USA.

in cali they have confiscation for "Street Racing" between TWO (or more) vehicles.

NOT, I repeat, NOT confiscation for "excessive noise", "wheelspin" or "stereo too loud"

nice try though. enjoy your US of A freedoms remaining, while you still have it.....

I focus on the words "confiscation", and "permanent", after 2 or 3 strikes.

The vehicle "forfeited" to the CROWN.

Please show me proof of where there is any legislation of this kind, or even close to it, in the USA, other than California for "street racing" between 2 vehicles.. I'll be waiting to see it.....

and no, im not interested about hearing of speeding "fines". Rather about PERMANENT CONFISCATION OF VEHICLE by a police officer who is given the powers of judge, jury, on the matters of discerning if the driver "accelerating briskly", "excessive noise", "wheelspin", plus more....

That's a rather harsh reply.

That is Ford taking a positive view of their product, as opposed to their finance or their price or their service program.

I lived in Manhattan and Connecticut for most of my working life and will admit to you I know very little about the Australian confiscation laws and therefore should have kept my mouth shut.

Quote:

DWI and Reckless Driving Car Forfeiture by the NYPD IN New York City

By Don Murray, Esq.

One big issue in the criminal justice system in New York City is the Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) car forfeiture policy (expanded in the beginning of 2000 to include reckless driving).

Under this policy, the New York City Police Department will impound and seek to take (forfeit) the cars being driven by people accused of Driving While Intoxicated (or driving recklessly) in New York City. It is our understanding that the money obtained from police forfeiture of automobiles goes to the police pension fund.Therefore, when a police officer forfeits a car, it is something of an automatic retirement investment.

(Note - Mr. Murray represented one of the very first people caught in New York City's efforts to take people's cars for allegations of reckless driving. Part of his successful defense of the client in the criminal case involved a suggestion to the jury that the police department had an interest in the outcome of criminal cases based on the civil forfeiture action.)

If you are arrested (not convicted, but simply arrested) for Driving While Intoxicated or Reckless Driving, the New York City Police Department may try to take the car you are driving from you FOREVER.

The bad news for those at risk is that the taking of the car is a completely separate proceeding from the criminal case. In other words, in theory, you could be accused of DWI or reckless driving,go to trial, win the criminal case, and still lose your car forever. That's because the rules about taking people's property in situations like this are not the rules that apply in criminal cases. You are not entitled to the same "due process" when "only" money or property is at stake. Only when your freedom is at stake are you entitled to significant standards of due process.

Because "only" property is stake, the bottom line practical reality is that the City can do just about whatever it likes. In the past the City only selectively used the unbelievable power it has to take property in this way.

In many cases, the City policy makers know that the expense of fighting the taking of the car (including attorney's fees, towing fees, and impound fees) makes it economically foolish to fight for the car. That means that it is foolish to fight to get the car back regardless of whether or not the person committed the crime of Driving While Intoxicated. Because the City impounds the cars simply based on the arrest, even a completely innocent person is forced to decide whether or not it makes economic sense to fight to get the car back.

For example, a modest car worth a few thousand dollars may not be worth the money required to hire an attorney to fight the case, and pay the impound and towing fees. Guilt or innocence doesn't add or subtract anything from the simple math required to decide whether or not the fight is worth it.

Many people, unable or unwilling to spend the money to fight these cases simply abandon their cars to the City.

With respect to driving while intoxicated cases, the police department is usually willing to return a car to a defendant as long as the defendant is screened by therapist and agrees to take certain Department of Motor Vehicle Classes related to drinking and driving. Those who are repeat offenders, however, may find themselves in a fight with the police department over their cars.


http://www.queensdefense.com/dwi-car-forfeiture-nyc/



Confiscation and sale of vehicles for traffic offenses does occur in other States but I have to mow the lawn and haven’t the time sit here and cut and paste.

Add to that as jpblue1000 has pointed out, the Civil Forfeiture Laws (Asset Forfeiture Program) in the US is a big thing and you’ll find vehicle confiscation is rife even if it doesn’t necessarily exactly emulate what happens here.

My original comment was simply, Australia doesn’t have a monopoly on silly laws, no need to burst a vein over it, it was just a comment.
