There's still regular skid and drift days at the skidpan as well as motorkhanana's and khanacrosses in a few places local. I dont think having the legal venue will stop the dickheads on the road, personally I think it would have the opposite effect.

the problem (in canberra at least) is the lack of places to thrash a car. we used to have a dragway but that got demolished and now wakefield's the closest at an hour away. young males are always going to thrash their cars and drag race them, whether they have somewhere legal to do it or not.

Only one diff! I used to punish cars on a regular basis due to 'personal' problems. I could have saved a fortune on diffs and gearbox's if I had only seen a shrink.

eventualy you will fark a diff. Ive done it.

Dropped the clutch in the 1000 and BANG. blew the spider gears into a million peices! Mind you that was with a mild A15, new 205 tyres and a old H145.

i'm sure we'll all been there when we first got our licenses doing burnouts left, right and centre, but i'm sure everyone will agree that you tend to grow out of it pretty quick, after you break a few diffs and start spending money on broken parts and mending broken pride and ego's when you have to get a tow home from the oldman. Please learn from my mistakes!when i had my P's i had a car(1200 sedan)load of mates over at kooragang island whilst doing doughnuts the diff let go and we had a long walk home, these were the days before mobiles, i copt flack for months, still comes up at the pub from time to time, although we all laugh about it now.

This thread starts up the age old question.......... Is driving a right or a privillage? it alway comes to mind with young fellas like this bloke!

Incendently that tv ad was made in newcastle, in carrington to be exact, which is a suburb in newy! i do agree with dat141 it seems to be more about burnouts rather than speeding, i reakon it encourages young people.

My 2cents!

I do find it strange that the TV ad for this anti-speeding campaign doesn't actually show anyone speeding. Whoever made it didn't really have much of a think about it.

hahaha best anti speeding ad ever(even though it had nothing to do with speeding)

i kno that im not go at any ridiculously high speed
or drive on the footpath either lol
i just like when the wheel lose just that little bit of traction haha

Do you think??? I have done some pretty stupid stuff. From driving on the footpath to ripping on the hanbrake at well over 100kph to taking a car out just to destroy it. But I do look back and think how lucky I am that nobody was hurt from my utter stupidity.
