EDTIOR NOTE:

The stereotypical hoon (Australian Street Racer) is a young male who owns and/or drives a high-performance or otherwise modified automobile, often a Japanese import. Hoons, known as street racers in most other parts of the globe, are generally affiliated with the import scene. AND....you most likely find anyone here like that.


Hi all,

I'm a documentary filmmaker from Perth, Western Australia, doing some research for a film about hoon laws.

Basically this is a chance to give your point of view on hoon laws. Are they good? Bad? Don't effect you? Have changed your life?

I'm looking for people that might

1) Consider themselves hoons
2) Have been labelled (fairly or unfairly) as a hoon
3) Feel they have been targeted (fairly or unfairly) as the result of hoon laws.
4) Are passionate about their cars!!!

If you have an interesting, funny, terrible story I'd like to hear it. If you love your car, and want to talk about it, even better! I'd love to see pictures of cars, descriptions of what you've done for them and with them, and what they mean to you.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people in Kalgoorlie, WA, or can talk about that area, as hoon laws are quite new there.

At this stage it's just an idea and hopefully will become a program aired on national and possibly international TV. It will be shaped by the people who participate in it.

As for me... I grew up in an area where people loved their cars and would devote themselves completely to working on them, so when I heard about these laws I wondered how it could impact on peoples' lives.

I'll keep an eye on this forum to see if there are any responses.

Look forward to hearing from you!
