But three do. (In my Paul Hogan voice).

If I did the same thing to a boy racer with a Kenworth, I’d be locked up. Simple as that. This clown used his vehicle as a weapon. Had he have just blocked them in with his 4WD and belted the cr@p out of them it may have been a little different.

He is the bigger fool because he should have known better.

[FGII-XR6]

both were in the wrong but the guy in the 4wd was way over the top bot should be charged and the 4wd should be impounded surely raming cars is hoon like behaviour

[TERMINATOR X]

I was young once to, But as time goes on the youths just seem to get THICKER and THICKER...drrrr. I mean i've even seen em with handbags! There turning into little sheila's i swear.

[J.C.]

LMFAO! DH's at their best.

I do not agree with either parties behaviour (although I understand the 4X4 owners frustration). Both should have their cars crushed and be made to push the button as part of the punishment, fined, plus community service. Something like made to erect the damaged fence ..... together. Now that would be interesting to watch. Front row seat for me please.

[Green X]

hahahaha, go the Patrol.

Quite clearly the guy who's fence got destroyed didn't give a F*(&.

What if the Hoon's car lost control and went sliding thou the fence anyway possibly killing the children who were not there. You can't start making up stuff that might happen but didn't happen, that's exactly what the Anti Performance car/ 4WD parade dose.

Yes he didn't do the right thing, but you know what sometimes the the right thing isn't always the right thing, and ya know what i bet the Boy racers don't come back either

Back when I was a boy, Hoons had style and class. These days they’re just a bunch of no good anise pansy lipstick wearing baseball cap VL driving losers. Someone should blow them up.

I'm of the opinion that the 4WDer should be shot. The hoons, although incredibly annoying as they seemed to be, weren't posing a direct threat to anyone but themselves. The 4WDer's sole action was intended to do damage.

That said, every city needs a BIG skidpan for people to run amock on. Kind of like a skate park, but with people there to clean up the mess (perhaps as community service).

and just think how much money the city would make!!!!!! but then just think how much they'd loose in fines the cops couldn't give

[lukep]

if he done that to me one of us would end up in hospital and if my mates were in the car it most certainly wouldnt be me.Hes pretty lucky.i would like to see him do that at bankstown lol.Those buggers must have been repeat offenders for him to get that wound up.

Err most major cities (and some regional) already have facilities like that... theres' a reason you have to pay to use them. Skate parks aren't free either - they get paid for via tax dollars - and neither should racing facilities.

A lack of self control is what a lot of people (the ricers in this article included) seem to have.

[US kills Falcon]

I have used the dob-in-a-hoon hotline and will use it again. Idiots should be removed from the streets.

Call 1800 333 000.

[4SFEDGT]

'As Mr Murrays 4WD slams into the passenger side of the hoons car, the 16 year old girl is crushed and is killed instantly'

This COULD have happened.
This COULD have been your daughter or sister

after all, HIS 2 children were in their house safe and sound.

Wrong move Mr Murray, leave it to the professionals. If the boyracers do burnouts there all the time, wouldn't it be easy for the cops to bust them???

[T_Terror]

This same vigilante scenario actually happened in S.A I believe where some guys were having some fun on a go kart track and got rammed by a guy in a crazy old guy in a F100.

He ended up getting charged.

They do have these any many places, great place to go to receive defects.

I also use this number. Works great on speed cameras, undercover cop cars and drivers that just generally annoy me.

hope the guy in the 4wd gets the book thrown at him. make a example of him. stop this vigilante behaviour before it gets out of hand

In tears!


Off to baygon the towbar

[DEVL-XR]

I can't believe people think the 4WD guy did the right thing. He is an idiot and should be jailed. Attempted murder I'd be throwing at him. I don't agree with the kids doing donuts in the carpark, but I disagree with the 4WD guy even more. What sort of example does this set for other citizens, all of a sudden anyone doing skids gets their car rammed. What happens when this progresses onto people ramming cars because they think they might do a skid?
I didn't realize real life was suddenly crash durby?

Yes. You maybe onto something I suppose.
Throw the book at him .... otherwise everyone in a 4X4 will be doing it, then there won't be any hoons running a muck through our streets. Oh the horror of it.

Hats off to him for standing up for what he believed in and trying to bring peace and respect back into his neighbourhood. He wasn't doing anything disruptive to begin with. It just seems he had had a gut full of waiting for someone to do something about the ongoing issue.

I don't fully agree with what he did. He probably could have handled it a little better .... and ended up like my mate in the above thread.

As someone mentioned prior, sometimes the right thing to do isn't always the right thing and sitting on your hands at home fuming about the ongoing situation has resolved nothing. He's taken one for the honest, clean living tax payer.

In this case, between the hoons and the pycho, the pycho has my vote of sympathy.

But hey, what do we all know anyway. We weren't there so don't know the full circumstances which have lead up to this occurring.

[vanman_75]

i like his style but keep the 4wd bashing down will ya ,its the idiot behind any vehicle which is the blame . i guess their lucky in the old days it would of been the trusty old 303 or shotty giving them curry ,silly boys silly man .

If you didn't read as soon as the police came they scattered, so calling them as he probably did 100 times before probably felt useless. If your 15 year old son is a big enough dick head to act like that, I hope he gets crashed into.

[Barry_v]

this is the funniest story from NZ since they busted that bloke for driving a car (on the freeway too!) with no steering wheel and vice grips attached to the steering shaft.

I haven't seen one for public access. But then again I live in Cairns. Probably 1800km from the nearest racetrack (QR I think...), or 400km from the nearest drag strip. But we have plenty of hoons up here, and unless you like speedway, tough luck, there's no car-based motorsport (on tarmac, they have the odd rall cross event)

I see no reason why you have to have a car that is even eligible to recieve a defect. Most of the serious hoons up here have at least two cars. Some have more, so a dedicated burnout/donut/drift car would be a snack, especially if you didn't have to have much more safety equipment than a working seat belt. And you don't need rego on a car that never see's the road. Just hire a trailer (or have a mate with a flat-bed).

It should be noted that we have a burnout pad, but it isn't very big, nor is it open regularly. It is,however, cheap to use when it does open.

put it this way. a little scenario for ya. guy in a 4WD has a bad day at work. is ready to crack. also just heard of this story. You driving home from work in your TS50 comes a around a corner in the wet, accelerates a bit hard and loops it. he thinks you tried to do a skid, gets ****ed off, rams you and writes off your car.

I totally and absolutely agree with what J.C. is saying. Also I think he knows all too well about hoons and what they can do..So be careful when you tell him to think about what he says...

[bangm001]

We would see the guys house written off if he smashed into my car intentionally, and every car that parked in his driveway for a year, but then again I wouldnt be doing burnouts in a tennis court either..
I would not stop untill I wrote off something that the 4WD owner cherished tho and see what his thoughts then were on taking the law into my own hands.. Both losers and deserve the full extent of the law.. I bet the "hoon" would get harsher penalty depsite the other guy possibly being up for attempted murder, assault charges etc.

Not sure what you are getting at but ....

Think about this one EB. I don't drive my TS in the rain let alone to work each day. It's a garage trophy nowadays and was never a daily. Also, I don't drive like I think I can. Easy does it. I have nothing to prove.

When I was young, I never carried on like the young fools do now a days. I was to busy working on the family property. If you did, the local copper would kick you up the ar$e and sent you packing (my friends found that out the hard way ..... and they were 30mile out of town at the local makeshift quater mile). Plus the old man would know about it before you got home anyway, then he too would continue with the butt kickin'. So my friend, please, before you throw a make shift case study at me, understand on thing, I understand what respect, responsibilty and be accountable for your actions is all about.

And they are the three things that 21 century hoons lack. I have no time for the DH's who carry on in built up areas in such a manner, and if you cared to read the previously attached thread, I'd hope you would understand. So please forgive me if I stop just shy of asking you to "go forth and multiply".

Hoons! I just hope that someone close to you is never affected by them to the same degree as I.

What's the point! You have your view, I have mine. I can respect that, even if I maybe coming across rather forceful.

[IDT]

Seams to me the guy just snapped, heaps of people do it to varying levels. What would you do if someone gropped your missus at the pub? Would you have us all believe that you would fetch security and put in a complaint? Not likely! You'd belt the guy and by definition taking the law into your own hands. What would you say if the defense was gropping never hurt anyone? I'm not saying what the guy did was right, just understandable. I certainly would not throw the book at him.

This is precisely the reason why I'd consider the 4wd guy to be a first class idiot. when you decide to take the law into your own hands, you'd better be prepared to take it to the next level, because he had no idea what the so called 'hoon' or his mates might do for revenge... claims he's worried about his son - well he might have just put his son in more danger than he was in before...
