Boy Racer thinks he's Senna, Hilarity ensues

[StoneChucker]

Quick atmosphere setting:
The serenity of the road I live on (as well as VTWIN) is quite often broken by wanky boy racers starting at one end, and accelerating all the way to the other. Or, if thats not the case, handbrake slides up and down the road at midnight. And if you go outside to just LOOK whats happening, they get all aggro (one time said boy racer tried to start a fight, he was DEF. on "p" or the likes)

Anyway... I was getting out of the shower, and I hear a car accelerate to what I'd imagine was about 100, or just over. Now if these children had any skill, or if the road was straight it wouldn't be a problem. The road has a medium bend in it, which is what catches them. A while ago one messed it up and skidded for about 50m, mounted the kerb and took out a gate. THIS time, after it reached it's speed, the car entered the corner, locked up the wheels, lost control and spun onto the opposite side of the road using a tree or another parked car as an instant stop mechanism. Car totaled, 1 fire engine, 4 cop cars and an ambulance. Dad spoke to the cop, who said they knew about the continous abuse of this road, and it was a pity the child hadn't done himself more damage to teach him a lesson. I guess his daddy is going to pay for the damage, so he can drive again, in his car that goes vroooom - psssht.

When I went past I just looked at them and shook my head :finger:

[mattt]

You should've offered to 'store' his car for free, and ripped off his mags to buy a new set of leathers :kick:

[Riff Raff]

They're all dicks! Just lucky they didn't take anyone out! The make me :angry2:

[Skunk]

Similar here but it's hard right 90, hard left 180, hard right 120, hard left 120, long straight. All downhill. If the corners were on an open road speed limit hill they'd be marked 25-35kmh. :kick:

Three prangs in the last two years. :apint:

[StoneChucker]

All downhill. If the corners were on a hill they'd be marked 25-35kmh. :kick:

Huh?

hehe, just being annoying. I hate it when you're at home, TRYING to relax but you can't from the constant wondering of "who's going to get high/drunk and start doing donuts"

Hell, there's only one problem house, and about two houses with boy racers in them. 3 bad apples :Pokey: I wish they'd all meet simultaneously, in one big spectacular handbrake sliding, 100km head on, drug/alcohol fuelled collision! I'd pay to see that! :doobey:

I meant open road hill as opposed to a suburban street... :bash: :bleh:
They all are just passing through here. :2guns:

Nothing but wankers!!!

Just give them some booze and drugs then! Free show! Oh, and tell them that they will get a "Level 3 Engine Upgrade" and a chance to get on the cover of your magazine if they do some tricks. Silly NFS fiends.

Now i gonna have to be a little honest, i dont have much problems with boy racers.........but i hate having fuckn morons on the road.
Whether they just drive above their abillities, drive while doing 10 things at once (fuckn office bogans), drive stoned, drive drunk.....or drive while under the influence with a big ego.
At the end of the day they all suck shit.
You have to realise that the stereotype of a boy-racer is the same as a harley rider, overdone and abused. Most 'guys-with-good-cars' generally have little money (to replace the car), so dont try and wreck the good things they have.
But Boy-Ricers, who think 'bling' is a noun. They are just rich mommas boys, who suck cock. Scary thing is alot of these mommas boys are spilling onto the bike scene (look at the states).

[riffer]

These guys piss me off too.

I live off Martin Street, Wallaceville, and Martin Street is about 1.5km's long and dead straight. Cars regularly hit over 160 on this road on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and unfortunately the cops don't get there before they've gone.

Funny though, Alexander Road in Upper Hutt (where GM carpark where they hold the bucket racing is situated) would be a much better road but I guess because there's a few corners they avoid it. Alex Rd is where I test my bike after any work.

They seem to be able to go fast, but none can take corners. Or is it that they are trying to drift around them?

Anyway, idiots doing 160 in a 50 zone full of kids are gonna cause some damage one day...

[John]

we need to form a rebellion, or vote someone into becoming 'renegade' on a haybusa, with mounted 7.62cal machine guns.

sorry I just have nothing better to say about the pricks.

[StoneChucker]

I don't really have a problem with people with flash cars who are into modifying them. Car enthusiasts are all good.

As you said, it's the one's who routinely endanger themselves and others.
Hmm, says I who "hooned" it over the Takas today... :o

Oh well, whatever I guess :Punk:

Go have a look down Alexander road, at the curve by the gun club. Two big skid marks leading into a well positioned lamp post, and they took out a small tree as well. Apparently sometime last week a guy found his cornering limit.

That child will no be permitted to drive for a while and with deicent parents will be told that its time to buy your own. If not nothing a petrol bomb wont fix :msn-wink:

what about 30 mm cannons from helecoptors? those make things 'splode all pretty-like

[Storm]

Claymore- couple pounds of explosive, about 500 small ball bearings and the car and driver dissipate into a bloody spray of meat and metal.

[Storm]

Can anyone tell that the pricks keep me up at night as well? :killingme

[HenryDorsetCase]

i have often thought how easy it would be to DIY some of the road spikes that the cops use to pop the tyres of fleeing vehicles..

some decent thick tie-down, some flat head roofing nails pushed thru, duct tape to hold it together. make it about 3m long, with a cord at one end.

dress in black (stealth styles) do the ninja mission lay out the spikes, let them roll over them then melt into the scenery.

do it a few times and you wont have a problem for long...




but thats just me.

LOL if the boyraces thrashed it down our street, they would come to their demise, we have a 50+ft cliff at the end of our street :D

[vifferman]

Three prangs in the last two years.
Our neighbour campaigned to have "something done" after we had something like 12 crashes in just over a year, not just by boy racers, but by all kinds of eedjits Like the guy in the Mercedes who was looking at a real estate sign, drifted across the road and totalled a small car going the other way. Or the young Asian guy who stopped 50 metres down from us, took off and spun out his BMW on a damp road surface, going backwards through our new garage door. :eek5:

So, we now have "speed calming measures" on our street, including right outside our house. Ugly concrete thingos (pedestrian islands) and now we have no parking outside our house, With no driveway, this is a major pain.

People still race up and down our road, because for a reasonable driver, the islands are no problem, and they're only at our end of the ~1.1 km of road. Eedjits still have problems with them, and do things like go around them on the wrong side of the road. :blank:

We were thinking of buying a house in martin st. Thanks Celtic, we wont now. :)
We have a similar issue in Tararua st. there are some asians live up the road that tend to go as fast as possible when arriving and leaving. I heard some dude from the Mongrel yell out for the clown to slow the fuck down one day. But still they go like fuckers out of hell. one day some kid is gonna get hit.

On the other hand. i cant remember the last time I was passed by a car.
Whats the difference between bikers going across the Rimitaka's (or any open road) fast, passing everything, averaging 150km, and a boyracer ? Or someone riding on one wheel ?
Other than my nanna who rides at exactly the speed limit, arent we all boy racers to an extent ?

[Blakamin]

but thats just me.
no its not... i've been thinking about that for a while!! <_<

[scumdog]

I was thinking shanghai and ballbearings........

Sorry to hear about this mate. I know from first hand experience that it's a real annoying and unsettling experience.

A "friend" of mine was experiencing similar problems with a group of local lads back in the UK. He knew where they lived and despite the fact that he was more than capable of looking after himself against some spotty fuckwits he didn't want the aggro that came with facing off against these pricks, particularly as they all knew where he and his wife and kids lived. So he took the devious approach after his reporting the pricks to the local police failed.

He left letters under the windscreen wipers of the cars in question basically asking them, in the nicest possible terms, to stop, otherwise the vehicles would incur physical damage. Things went quiet for a few days, then the very same culprits started up again, spinning doughnuts on his street and driving at ridiculous speeds. So he took the law into his own hands and bought two small canisters of pressurised cigarette lighter fluid. He visited each vehicle again and promptly pushed the canisters as far as he could into the respective cars exhausts with a stick. Both vehicles lost a good portion of their exhaust systems the following evening. He then left them another note stating, "I told you so, and let this be a warning". He honestly never experienced any problems with them again.

I know it was illegal, potentially dangerous etc etc. But there’s only so much a man can take before he has to take the law into his own hands. Particularly when asking them nicely and seeking the assistance of the police fails.

That is pure genius.

[Wellyman]

Boy racers don't know how to drive all they know is to just hit the throttle and go too fast!

My "friend" says thanks.

Can you key mags?

[**R1**]

My old man used to complain about them all the time until i asked him what he did for fun when he was a kid....he doesnt complain anymore....kids like to have fun, when i was younger we did the same stuff as im sure many of you have...its annoying but they will grow up one day and the nxt lot will start....yes people will get hurt but thats life i guess, they piss me off as im sure i piss my street off comming home at 2am with the yoshi screeming its head off....not sure that a lot can be done to stop it....but that gas thing in the pipe soundz dam funny :laugh: :devil2:

[toads]

yes well we live next door to idiot and son, who have a seemingly endless supply of unwarranted and unregistered shit heaps, that they persistently take out on the road past our house at speed, oblivious to the fact our kids are often playing outside, they are always driving them over/through fences and banks, and seemingly never meet any injury other than damage to other peoples property which they never repair or pay for.
A few weeks ago one of their vehicles caught fire and burned a bloody huge hole in the tarseal, and then there's the noise pollution factor, I wish they would just up and move on somewhere, they really piss me off. They pretend to be mechanically savvy, and can be heard almost any time of the day or night revving the shit out of an engine, I spose they think they are tuning it or something. :brick:

very very tempting ,

[marty]

ramset a 4x2 across the road. paint it black. or, for low profile tyres, ramset a 50mm angle iron to the road.

and the losing control on an easy bend is a classic sign of cut springs.....

hmmm

He has written off two cars... in one year I beleive. once speeding in a car with people at night on his learners in the wet and took out a deck..

Second time going too fast around a corner in the wet and slammed into a truck

Smart cookie that one :first:

Truly amazed that he had a motorbike for like 2-3 weeks and lived... more amazing he has another car now and hes still alive

[Lou Girardin]

Around Kaukapakapa the locals ram them with 4x4's. Not that I'd ever condone such a brilliant idea.

probally to busy on a major highway getting people for minor speed infringements!


I can see alot more vigilante justice going to happen in the near future in NZ

Difference was I was doin it in V8s and my seat wasnt a cushion on the floor .. and the "race would be the first to the speed limit... or we'd take them out the bush and find a straight stretch no-one lived on....
unless we were building drag cars, we actually liked to go around corners so our local spring maker got heaps of work...
its the fucken turbos, no suspension and the fact they cant see over the wheel that shits me!

Turns out BOY "racer" was doing 130km/h+ just before the accident.
I reckon true deserving recipients of an infringement under the boy racer act, should be required to use their car and themselves for one LTSA crash test.
