Yep, minority stuff it for the majority again.
I think we need to focus on what can we do to improve our image!
Any ideas?

easy.....turn on "hoons". Just ring the cops and report their late model car...Do it everyday.......If eveyone does it and reports a LATE MODEL car then the focus will gradually change....

The cars are for driving not hiding them in sheds...
HTC will not tolerate that kind of behavior.
I for one, haven't seen it on any of our outings.
Our image is improved by the quality of its members cars.
Too valuable and precious to treat them with such disrespect.
Individuals being wankers, should not be allowed to cast shadows on well run car clubs.
Isn't that why SA has Hoon Laws , to stop these idiots ?
Could be a good discussion point at the meeting Baron...

No one would be considered a hoon in a HB.

understand the cars are for driving and not for hiding but if we as owners of modified cars are going to be targeted at organized cruises whats the point even if we are not part of these clubs with bad reputations we still will be frowned upon wonder if they are going to take notice at the bay to birdwood later this year?????

I wonder if anyone is getting hung up on incorrect use of terminology - is their definition of 'cruises' different to what we would normally use? I know over here the term being thrown around is 'congregation', aimed at stopping the boy racers from gathering in large numbers (especially in certain areas) which is supposedly where the idiots come out to play.
Regardless though, many of these ideas in general are due to blatant intolerance for our hobby. The end result is usually that the more mature enthusiasts miss out and the less mature rebel

the problem is one of preception, however the answer is not an easy one if people believe something it is very hard to change their minds if not impossible, and lets face it not everyone with a old hotted up torana is law abiding in fact i would surgest that most are not, that said most infringments would be of a minnor nature noise exhast a few km over the limit

We had a police man and a police women stop at a club meet yesterday. They parked next to our cars, got out, said g'day and asked if we minded them admiring the cars. The were young cops and just wanted to have a look which was great.
During the day we passed by a few marked cars and not one of them bothered to pay us any attention.
I think up here the ricers get more attention than the classics which suits me fine......until my R33 arrives from Japan......

While the main guts of the article was about the poor behavior of one group in particular there was a mention of the good reputation that SAMAS have with the police faternity. This was great to read in the article as previously there would have been nothing good mentioned at all in an article of this type.
Sadly lots of readers don't read much further than the head lines or first paragraph and wouldn't get to the bit about responsible clubs.

With all that horse power and the classic styling of the HB, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Inner Sanctum could be a target.Just think things could be worse Mr.Rann could organise to have us arrested every time we get together i can see the headlines now [inner sanctum members jailed]

Im going to "mantle piece" the hatch, and just keep drivin the daily on cruises
Ive found it pretty hard being an Under 25 driver having the hatch People do throw u in the YOUNG LAD HOT CAR "hoon" category, But to be 100% honest, I never want to lose my hatch,Get any fines.Or defected
Ive put Hundreds and hundreds of hard time and effort and Thousands of dollars into the car over the past 5 years,
When i went on cruises I was on my best behaviour Knowing that i would probably have been watched to start with
So its pretty simple for the S.A Gov in other words " if you dont want to lose it, Dont bring it out"
This whole HOON Uproar is starting to get a bit out of hand and im personally sick of hearing about it.
(p.s i just hit my 500th post YAY!

thats my exact thoughts except the under 25 part lol no matter how mellow u drive its classed as a potential hoon car eg anything that fits into muscle car fits that catagory will be targeted it doesnt take much these days for a copper with a slight attitude to slap another canary on the window even if you are just doing the right thing as much as i love the cruising side of it im not to keen on the extra attention and headaches involved with removing another defect just easier to leave it in the shed till the heat calms down and all the attention gets focused on the real dickheads
