In the interests of public safety and general education, I thought it wise to advise, from extremely recent personal experience, the following points:
1. A V6 Toyota Camry, with an appropriate combination of accelerator and handbrake, will do quite respectable 'dough nuts' when driven upon damp sand.
2. Narrow Neck Beach at low tide offers a wonderful environment for the practice thereof.
3. Should two police cars and a paddy wagon drive past and observe said shenanigans occurring at about half past midnight, they are quite unlikely to ignore them.
4. Two police cars and a paddy wagon do a very effective job of blocking the boat ramp giving access to said low-tide beach.
5. Cops tend to be quite grumpy after spending an evening dealing with (one presumes) drunken North Shore teenagers, et cetera.
