i didnt read the article.... nor did i read all of the posts in this thread (i read about 90% of them)..
but i think i might add that yes people with nice cars are hassled by the cops... and yes its the 'young' hoons that are spoiling it for everyone...
but the funny thing is how most of the older and wiser members of the club who critisize the younger drivers generally admit to being a hoon when they were younger...
point being is that most people are hoons at some stage... we can argue the point until the cows come home but its never going to change..
everyone learns from a mistake when they first start driving... some are lucky... some arent.. and the sad part is that some mistakes are tragic...
