i actually was invigorated to think that somebody somewhere was willing to stand up and organise something that would demonstrate that while we do appreciate and love our cars, we are not all hoons. We do not all try and drift our VL's in residential streets while shooting at cops.
I was interested in going not only because it was going to be a big cruise, but because it was organised to underline a very valid point.
There just arent enough places where it is legal and safe to fully appreciate your cars in qld. Even if it were near qld raceway, it would at least be something different. A bit of variety is the spice of life as they say.
Personally i drive rather sedately on the roads but every now and again i have urges that there is no outlet for (unless i want to drive for an hour to queue for hours).
I know that there are some people out there that just arent ever going to respect the laws and will hoon no matter what the laws, politicians, police or other enthusiasts say or do. These people are the few that bring down the many who respect the laws and modify their cars the way they ought to be modified, but more importantly drive the way the laws allow them to. It is these people who are being let down by not having anywhere to test their cars and themselves. The 'hoons' have the streets and they will always be there so they are not disadvantaged by the restrictions. More places to stretch your cars legs would mean that many of these hoons would come off the streets because they would have an outlet.
I do believe that a combination of the ageing population (i dont mean to generalise to EVERYONE - just the complainants), the ultra conservative, out-of-touch pollies, and the criminalisation of youth and car-enthusiasts in the media are to blame.
I hope to see this cruise (even if it wasnt real) go ahead in the near future.
