THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR BURNOUTS, AND THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OUTSIDE A CARS-AND-COFFEE EVENT AIN'T IT
WE NEED to have an honest chat about a big problem being faced by the Aussie car scene at the moment.
All over Australia, the modified car community is being actively targeted by the authorities. That in itself is nothing new; street machiners have been at odds with The Man since the dawn of time, and that will likely never change. The difference right now is the extent to which the car community is being singled out. The amount of government resources currently being dedicated to hunting down modified cars and defecting them off the road is like nothing we've ever seen before, especially in NSW. I believe it's a disgusting overreach, and completely disproportionate to any perceived 'risk' these cars may pose to the broader community.
