60 minutes , lengthy hoon report - Sunday 10th of Aug

[coFF33]

If you havent seen the ads yet, 60 mins are now on the bandwagon ...

7:30pm Channel 9 Sunday night , an "in-depth" hoon report.



On the edge of my seat motherfuckers !!!!!!

[Blueraven]

60 minutes?

*slight* chance of an objective report....

[xr06t]

here's 10 bucks says we see the vl single pegger outta leach hwy maccas..

after watching a few reports on 60 minutes over the last few months, chance of objective report is slim to fuck all. they are getting as bad as the other current affairs shows, slowly but surely..

[KPWISHN]

Hopefully they have some good footage to get me pumped for an assault on the streets. lol

60 minutes is the only half decent bit of journalism on 7,9 and 10 anymore. Hopefully it's a decent story.

[MISS 13B]

here's 10 bucks says we see the vl single pegger outta leach hwy maccas..

LOL, are you talking about the black one?
That's their favourite hoon clip :lol:

Cant wait for this awe inspiring piece of journalism. Wonder how many people have been "TERRORISED" by us and how many people have died. Looking forward to these stats.

[MRO]

They would have done an 'in depth' report on drink driving (largest contributor to road deaths) but they did not want to risk offending network management who openly supports this kind of behaviour.

60 minutes has gone backwards over last 5 years and is only marginally better journalism than ACA and TT.

[Rossco]

doubt any WA footage will make the report as 60 mins is mainly filmed in the east. Should actually be worth watching, 60 mins is miles ahead of any other current affairs journalism.

[MISS 13B]

Hmm it would be interesting to watch this story simply to see if they have footage of actual decent cars.

Like whether their idea of a hoon is driving a clapped out VN or an Evo...or perhaps a ricer with neons.

It would throw an interesting spin on the common misconception that all import drivers are hoons.

[yeahlow34]

Might see some of the hot rx3's and rotors over there too - plenty of em.

[xr06t]

all of the hoon storys ex east always seem to have that vl calais with international rims ripping the biggest chicken wing!

im honestly not expecting it to be unbias OR show enthusiasts as enthusiasts.

[[2_FLY]]

hahaha hope they have the footage of the angry lebos trying to fight the cops
"buncha dogs"

[vrocious]

5 years old and still used like it happened yesterday

[1JZVL]

eastern footage = bunch of muzzas and annoying rexes/riced up lancers etc :squint:

i really doubt we'll see something genuinely classified as "highly modified" :whip:

[MISS 13B]

Might see some of the hot rx3's and rotors over there too - plenty of em.


I fuckin hope so...it will make it worth watching at least.

[Fryman]

I fuckin hope so...it will make it worth watching at least.

Sorry Fryman...I'm just addicted to Rotary action :D

I was going to say it is bound to feature many Lebs...

[1JZVL]

I was going to say it is bound to feature many Lebs...

yeah...

hanging around carparks...
singing gay 'old macdonald had a farm songs'..
calling them 'pigs' and saying how theyre 'dogs'..
saying how fast they've gone on the streets ("yeah bro atleast 310km/h.. i spent like $5grand on my rex, shes quick as")

this will of course be the true image of US...we're all like them arent we :dizzy:

stereotyping - gotta love it.

[dmwill]

You forgot to mention that it is all a laugh when they get their parent's car towed away and they do not seem to be phased at all.

[coFF33]

Hrrm saw the ad again this morning ....

Right at the end, that annoying 60mins journalist guy which is always HELL sarcastic about anything he is reporting on. says

"Someone over in the group has just fired a shot"

WTF ?

now hoons are armed and dangerious .... fuck this report is gonna be a hardcore hate one i can see it now .... :S

[xr06t]

no shit hey. after reading this thread yesterday i did a bit of a search on youtube for other 'hoon' reports, and sure enough, they linked hoons to a murder, because it was in an area that they went to hang out!!

WTF! hoon = murderer now. wtf does what car you drive have to do with anything if you are a real criminal?

[Muppet_Guy]

Well, Grand Theft Auto / hoon / murder... yeah I see the link

/end sarcasm

[Cochee]

From what i've seen on the ad all the footage seems to be american?
They had a couple of civics racing and then american cop cars.
The "gun" shot was probably just a big backfire, or someone with an antilag system hitting limter.

[Passage GT]

33 with backfire issit?

[breet180]

33 with backfire issit?
Little bit off Bee*R? :idb:

[DJ84WA]

has anyone actually seen any positive 'car hoon' news report yet?
it will be 100% negative, as per usual.

[1JZVL]

well...

from what i can also gather...

(dont know if they already have it)

but they'll probably want to issue different types of "hooning"


im sure 'aggrovated' hooning will become the norm, especially since we all carry ninja swords under our seats (to go with the import/japanese/fast and furious stereotype)

motorcyclists will also have their own stereotype...also taken from a hoons favourite movie (fast and the furious) - they all have uzis on them... :fingers:

[vrocious]

just seen the add for it. he's in america. american cop cars and people firing guns

[RICEY]

How you know its in america?

[OBSESIV]

On the preview add for it, you can clearly see its in america

[adrenalin]

Lol the fact the cop car is not a holden \ ford is a dead give away but rather some american shitter. ( same kind you see in all cop movies made in US )

[RICEY]

So typical media bs thats completely irrelevant to australia

[vrocious]

well just saw an add for today tonight perths "knight riders" driving around with cameras on the dash dobbing in hoons. so keep an eye out for that crap show and that may be a bit more relevant

[vrocious]

[vrocious]

loser: "it makes me feel like a big man"
reporter: "and what does your parter say about your death defying heroics"
loser: "if i had a girlfriend she'd kill me! my mum says i'm cool though, you can ask her. i'm 35 and still live with her"
mother "i bought him things to make him blend into those terrorist drivers, stickers, them plastic silver spinny thingys that go on wheels and then to truely make him blend i bought him the plates DEFECTIV"

[1JZVL]

i hope somebody starts raging at them because they feel like they're being harrassed? :P

personally i do not want anyone filming me, especially for no reason...u cant do that its bullshit

fucken losers. hope they get hurt. putting their noses in someone elses business as i see it! :uhh2:


.... and people firing guns

ahh yes. that is soooo australian :wank:

[MISS 13B]

LOL cameras following cars around to catch them hooning? You're fucking kidding me right.

If I was being followed by someone filming me driving, I would get out of the car and rip their fucking camera off the dash. Tis tis

[Lump]

well just saw an add for today tonight perths "knight riders" driving around with cameras on the dash dobbing in hoons. so keep an eye out for that crap show and that may be a bit more relevant
LOL i wont get my hopes up that he actually gets anything decent on camera, but will be hell funny if he does

[1JZVL]

LOL i wont get my hopes up that he actually gets anything decent on camera, but will be hell funny if he does

hows about the person or people, grow some fucking balls....and if they want to play BATMAN... they go do something significant with their time - catching theives.....elderly bashers.....rapists.....murderers

this is just bullshit. it probably isnt even true to be honest. the media is trying to scare the public into thinking the 'hoon issue' is far worse than it actually is...to the point where some idiots have tried to become superheroes....lame

either way, its bs.

[Cake]

[verbatim]

Just saw a short for it "One of the drivers just fired a shot" -this will be a objective report...

[Brockas]

LOL!!

Yes cause we're all gun-toting toddler-murdering communists.

[TJ]

How dare you call me a communist!

[Miami]

LOL cameras following cars around to catch them hooning? You're fucking kidding me right.

If I was being followed by someone filming me driving, I would get out of the car and rip their fucking camera off the dash. Tis tis

so lemme get this straight....earlier in the week, google maps street view gets launched, and google car with camera on the roof = satan....but "knight riders" following people videoing them = hero?????

[Blueraven]

hmm... nothing new there...


Since when LA ganglands = Australian suburbia? Sigh.

[flamo_damo]

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL sooooo fucking stupid! Haha its in america and all I have seen is civics haha

[SSICK]

waj. its useless trying to tell my side of teh story to the olds now. oohh its on 60 minutes, it true.

[titmeat]

lol my honda does 250 miles per hour haha
whats a fuckarse documentry
channel 9 FAIL

[JazRad]

VTEC YO

[ttomred4000]

FAIL, hiluxes n shit. that was so lame.

[TJ]

Simply reaffirms my belief that this shit should be kept to the right time and right place...

shame our governments wont fund more legal places for drivers, thus leaving other avenues as a viable option still to this day.

yet to see a gun at illegals...

[PIGSTi]

LOL at street racing 4wd's!

[Klutch]

One of the gayest reports i've ever seen.

[Lonewolf]

oh dear.

[gt86wa]

waj, crack up
they say its just like america, so why did the reporter need to go all the way there for a story, retards racing hilux's and civic's deserve to be arrested

[ED40]

Yep. Load of shit that was. That was NOTHING like the scene here... NOTHING.

[PIGSTi]

Would have been funny if someone Antilagged Peter Overton he would have shat, looked like he was about to cry when the gunshot went off lol

[Cochee]

pretty pissed off that i watched that and missed out on some of "thank god your here"
Also half footage was of cars racing down the quarter.

[RICEY]

pretty pissed off that i watched that and missed out on some of "thank god your here"

How could you be pissed off at missing thank god youre here? Today tonight has more comedy in it.

[Lonewolf]

guess i better start packing my piece when i go for a drive...

love it when they take footage of a car at the drag strip, and relate it to illegal street racing.

[DTM-031]

And the "big" engine conversion in the "idiot's" civic lolllll.
Fuck me, if a 2L is big they'd die on the spot at a 180 with 4.1L!

[ttomred4000]

And the "big" engine conversion in the "idiot's" civic lolllll.
Fuck me, if a 2L is big they'd die on the spot at a 180 with 4.1L!

the enginee was nice but, b20 frankenstein. the only nice hondas were the ones unfortuneatly getting crushed, specially the blue em1

[titmeat]

that was humourous if anything
they really need to get a grip
people must be grossly uneducated if they believe that
I really thought 60 minutes would have provided an unbiased point of view but fuck they are no better than today tonight and ACA

[Lonewolf]

a 2L is hardly a big engine.

[Wuked]

60 minutes, seriously, STFU

[adrenalin]

Good to see the wide selection of reporting there.

Search in youtube ... "BURNOUT" and pick some.

M3 ripping nuts with bus coming = FUCKWIT but its not a bad burnout.

Lol yea wow who the fuck craps on bout having a honda CRV motor in there car.

Typical piss poor report. Channel 9 are fucking retards.

[TJ]

You have to remember we have massive exposure to cars and the car scene.

To the totally uneducated, that would be a perfect scaremongering story.

[dmwill]

Missed it :(

Anyone record it?

Edit: Looks as if it might be up sometime tomorrow... http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=610556

[Lonewolf]

they mentioned 100 people a year died over there?
100 out of 301,139,947 is pretty huge.

[MISS 13B]

What a joke.
Thank fuck for Foxtel.

The article on the 60 Minutes site


Brainless kids in powerful cars who terrorise the suburbs, turning public streets into race tracks.

Terrorise the suburbs???
How about the pingpingpingpings breaking into houses and bashing people for no reason in the suburbs? Hooning is obviously much worse :nono:

[Clontarf[X]]

Quality "report". I didn't actually watch it though, just going off what people have said. Did they elude to this happening in the great land of oz? If so then "reporting" has hit an all time low.

[MISS 13B]

so lemme get this straight....earlier in the week, google maps street view gets launched, and google car with camera on the roof = satan....but "knight riders" following people videoing them = hero?????

Haha that's a good point hey.

So many people whinging about Google Streetview invading privacy yet this Knight Rider shit would be considered a service to the community by small minded people who get brainwashed by media reports on how hoons are killing people and making the streets unsafe.

But yeah like I said....if I was enjoying some spirited driving (nothing ever stupid that would endager lives) and some so gooder was following me filming, I would not be happy.

[titmeat]

What a joke.
Thank fuck for Foxtel.

+1

[DCIEVE]

oh no's, its only going to get worse for people driving modified cars. tj was spot on, scaremongering. the typical retarded current affairs viewers will take it seriously and relate noisy cars to gangs/guns and racing

[Docile]

guess i better start packing my piece when i go for a drive...

Loaded weapons must be the new hotness. Why bother filming some tool in a white skyline with blue bumper when you can just shoot him instead..

[evil1]

LOL cameras following cars around to catch them hooning? You're fucking kidding me right.

If I was being followed by someone filming me driving, I would get out of the car and rip their fucking camera off the dash. Tis tis

hahahahahaah remind me of when i was in the car with a mate and he slapped a few corners, and some guy pulled up next to us with a camera, and shouted 'IVE GOT IT ALL!' we followed him for a good 30 mins, he tried losing us, running red lights. Eventually it wasnt safe to follow anymore so we stopped, 5 mins later we were filling up at the servo, and looky looky across the road at the lights we see him, then we tagged him again but from far away. he drove straight home, as he turned into the drive way, we drove infront of his house, and we just pointed at him, and my mate shouted out 'WE GOT YOU!' then we left

[INSINR8R]

"sir you were hooning"

"nah mate, didn't you watch 60 minutes? Only pingpingpingpings in Civics are hoons"

[esky]

anyone seen labours election ads.

one of carps major points for re-election is they introduced the anti-hooning laws.

thanks to the govt and media its now an important issue to the brainless masses.

[DJ84WA]

they mentioned 100 a year die from street racing.
how many die from smoking each year?
or drug abuse?

[Gleeso]

60 minutes, seriously, STFU

I second that!
Bunch of bias bitches they are

[Skipmaster J]

I loved the objectivity of their chosen language.

Words like 'idiots', 'terrorise', and so on and so forth.

[Lyoness]

hoon Austral & NZ slang
Noun
a loutish youth who drives irresponsibly
Verb
to drive irresponsibly


Now I know we all hate the hoon tag BUT unfortunately we also have to keep in mind that most off this site are hoons BUT are responsible drivers (most of the time) BUT you have to keep in mind of the car clubs you wouldn't be seen dead crusing with as they are complete fuck tards, those people need to have their heads pulled in as yes they can & will hurt or kill innocent people.

What I'm getting at is yes the murderers, rapists and down right scum of WA need to be stopped by the police BUT some people who are classified as hoons do aswell.

Think I'm lying? Lets have an example...Your grandmother is crossing the road from buying groceries, road seems clear, looks right, left then right again, starts to cross though her legs aren't as fast as they used to be, yet 2 heroes up the road (driving anycar as really it doesn't matter) decide to race....get speed up....go round a gentle bend where your grandmother is crossing the road....and lets just say granny doesn't reach the otherside.

Now as this does affect you directly do you;
A) Blame the cops for not doing something about these people?
B) Tell the cops when they inform you & your family of what has happened yell at them for arresting the people that just killed your grandmother when they should be out getting the murders & rapists?

Yes I do agree that there should be more places where people can enjoy their cars within an appropriate cost bracket (or even free which all can afford) to reduce the "hoons" on the road.

I'm sure at the end of the day you'll agree or at least acknowledge what I'm saying as there are so many posts in the Spotted thread or in cruise aftermath posts about people who "don't deserve oxygen" to quote Ricey and a few others or "Shouldn't have a license" etc.

Though yes I think the hoon law should be abolished as the term "hoon" just seems to feed the media instead of actually accomplishing anything apart from revenue raising, though I doubt it will ever be............

[Brockas]

Awesome report.

Apparently dozens of people are killed by 'hoons' here in Australia each year.


You have to love it when "respectable" journalists can get away with making up stats.


60 Minutes, English tabloids, same same.

[wadragracing]

The most concerning thing about the hype over hoon activity is that it is taking away road safety funding from other factors that affect road safety.

Drink driving is a factor in one in four fatals. Around 200 people die on our roads each year, so let's all it 50 people dying a year from drink driving. Yet it doesn't make the news anymore because it has been replaced by the hoons, probably responsible for < 5 deaths a year.

Thus attention on drink driving falls and you'd assume its rates go up. Sigh.

I don't think it's really politicians' fault either. The media is mainly responsible because of the hype that goes on now. As someone who did a media degree, I'm inclined to say it's just lazy journalism. Hoon stories are much easier to write because it's instant sensation. Much easier than having to go out and do real investigation or real interviews. Sigh again.

Thats all sooo true...makes you think

They really should do something for us like make places where we can have fun, i know we have race tracks, but somethings like those drift prac tracks like on "Drift Bible", but yer its the dickheads who give us a bad name, the people who dont think of consequences, its those ones who should be punished

[1JZNOSHIT]

"sir you were hooning"

"nah mate, didn't you watch 60 minutes? Only pingpingpingpings in Civics are hoons"

hahaha!

Someone should bring a gun on the next cruise for shits n giggles.

Fucken stupid journalism that was.

[breet180]

Agreed.

Got to love Journalism at its best.

Dont see anyone building more tracks, in my eyes its simply not going to happen. The medias having a ball.

What a waste of time.

[thrtytwo]

we need to get some schooled educated car club members to have one of those damn debate things and raise all of the good points we have. The government have no come back to half of it except to call us dumb bias kids, even though more than half of us are over 20 and probs off our P's. They will never admit that its all for revenue and its too easy for the general public to jump on the bandwagon and ignore the truth :(

because most people don't see houses burgled every night, or people being held up, its in the back of they're minds and they don't face up to the reality of it, unlike dickheads in cars who you will see every time your on the road.

I wish someone had the motivation and initiative to fight back on our behalf :(

[DJ84WA]

IMO the media will always make reports that are negative towards 'hoons'
prehaps having an antilag track day. and holding a bar-b-que, with some proceeds going towards funding drive education.
invite some media along..not sure many would rock up if any. but would possibly start to balance up the hoon negativity and divide the 'hoons' from the enthusiasts.

[Brockas]

The most concerning thing about the hype over hoon activity is that it is taking away road safety funding from other factors that affect road safety.

You have to be pretty naieve to think the government give two shits about road safety, or the road toll.


It's ALL about cost benefit, and fooling the public into thinking they care.

If some 18yo crashes, with 3 mates in the car, the government can end up paying a substantial amount of money for healthcare and disabilities for 4 people for 50+ years.

That is NOT a bill they want to front.


If some 60 year old crashes, it's usually solo or with 1 passenger. They'll either die in the crash (cheap cheap) or if they do end up disabled they don't end up being a drain on the public slush fund for 50+ years.



Might seem a little 'cold hearted', but it's exactly how it works.

Every decision in politics comes down to money, and power.

NO media would rock up, because it's not sensationalism.

The only way you can fight the negative 'hoon' image is with equally sensationalistic bullshit.


The media wants to portray hoons as gun toting murderers who could kill you in your own street.

You fight it, by portraying the Road Safety Minister as an uncaring money-hungry pensioner-murdering sexual deviant, and as the current policy of 'hoon hunting' as costing the lives of hundreds by neglecting the real issues on the road including "pot holes which may kill your mother".



It can be done, but it'll require a lot of time/money/effort and most importantly, bullshit.

Oooooh, letters about a lack of journalistic integrity and objectivity regarding over-sensationalism of "hoon" behaviour.....my specialty :)

let me whip out my ACA letter, and re-edit it to suit ;)

[MISS 13B]

Just reading the transcript of the report on the site....I must have missed this part at the start where he says:

"Souped-up street cars pushed to their limits. In just a few seconds they hit nearly 200km/h"

Almost 200 km/h in a few seconds? Do these pingpingpingpings have any fucking idea??

A Ferrari 599 goes from 0-100 in like what, 6 seconds? These cars are nowhere near the calibre of that.

Do people seriously buy into this shit??

[Ryan1080]

Maybe their definition of "few seconds" is 20 seconds haha

[TJ]

I believe they use the nursesy rhyme timing system (C) (Trademark bullshit media reporting devices 2008)

[Dagon]

Hopefully they have some good footage to get me pumped for an assault on the streets. lol

60 minutes is the only half decent bit of journalism on 7,9 and 10 anymore. Hopefully it's a decent story.
HELL no!

60 minutes is AWESOME journalism - if you hate unbiased reviews that only give you the facts.
60M = 60 minutes of spin, hyperbole and opinion. Nothing, repeat NOTHING more. You may as well watch a cartoon or other fictional movie for all the truth and cold, hard fact you will be getting.

...of course, this is telling all you guys nothing new...

[Blueraven]

Just reading the transcript of the report on the site....I must have missed this part at the start where he says:

"Souped-up street cars pushed to their limits. In just a few seconds they hit nearly 200km/h"

Almost 200 km/h in a few seconds? Do these pingpingpingpings have any fucking idea??

A Ferrari 599 goes from 0-100 in like what, 6 seconds? These cars are nowhere near the calibre of that.

Do people seriously buy into this shit??

I dont want this thread to have any facts, but i think you might be suprised how many cars are well under 6 seconds to 100 if driven properly(any evo/sti/gtr any new V8/f6 etc..) and the fezza would be centainly under 5...

[krazy 32]

vtec just kicked in.. all i seen was civic after civic..should have been titled as civic hooning..

"a few seconds to near 200kph" is still fackin way off the mark, even if a ferrari is south of 5 seconds to 100..

[Ja50n]

Is there any where I can watch it online? I missed in last night.

well... not all new V8s lol :(

Oh I don't doubt that at all but:

1) The reporter said "in just a few seconds, these cars will get up to almost 200 km/h

2) A Civic is not a GTR or an Evo ;)

My point was the sensationalism and over-exaggeration of the report left me shaking my head.

I don't know the exact number of seconds the ferrari 599 takes to get from 0 to 100....it was a ballpark guess

Funny thing is if you do some research, there is a massive amount of Honda's running in the 9's and 10's in the U.S, so while we laugh here, Im guessing some of the quicker ones would have no issue building speed quite quickly.

[KPWISHN]

Didn't even bother watching it. Austrian chicks playing beach volley ball took preference.

i have seen a clip of a honda crx running 10's maybe 9's n/a without NOS in the us.

[vrocious]

Saw it, one of them has a Hyundai Excel Wagon, blue in colour, around a 2000 model.

I tell you what, they're very, very brave showing their faces on camera.....they'll piss the wrong person off very soon I think and get their faces and cars re-arranged.

Vigilante actions will be met with vigilante reaction.

[OBSESIV]

[PIGSTi]

[beefcake]

the other guy was the smarter one, he didnt show his car, but the steering wheel can give it away, ill have to watch it again, your going to be exposed too fuck stick.

That punk was standing next to me and a group of us rota heads at the ignition hillaries carpark meet, fuck me if i knew it was him damn that would have been a good time to let everyone in on his activities :mad:

Makes me think they are rejected muppets from antilag or another car club because they thought neons and stickers were cool:wank: , now this is there dummy spit about it

[Crumz]

Surely some one knows these people... Perths very small.... If so, post up some details...
Antilag cruise to hillaries this weekend? Try to draw them out?

[Lump]

farkin LOL beware the nightriders :eek2:

[RICEY]

Ill laugh if they film themselves breaking the law inadvertantly.

For example they film someone in front of them while they are in the right lane on the freeway for no reason. The accused says this guys just handed footage over of him failing to keep left for no good reason and hes here in court to back up the footage.

Backfire !

[Lump]

or like on that show they were just on, taliking into there handheld cb's...

[RICEY]

I think its legal to use CBs when driving but unsure if handheld CBs are included in that?

[DJ84WA]

can someone post up either a link or pic of this dickhead?

[Lump]

I think its legal to use CBs when driving but unsure if handheld CBs are included in that?
technically no, its the same as driving while eating/drinking etc. two hands should be on the wheel as much as possible when driving.
truckies/emergency drivers etc generally use hardwired cb's & are given much more leeway

[INSINR8R]

its not illegal to use CB radios and walkie talkies etc as they fall under a different category to mobile phones. I have a CB in my Van for work, use it quite a bit.

[SLEEKA]

if having a tv screen in you car playing is illegal surely a running laptop sitting on your passenger seat has to be illegal

[RICEY]

law doesnt make much sense holding a handheld cb or the mic for a cb car kit is the same as holding a mobile phone haha

[DISTRBD]

Just seen GQ n GU turbo patrols run of lights , fukn hooons

[INSINR8R]

I dunno why that is, I guess its because you're not fiddling with it, its just push to talk

[magic1]
