• The cops would bust your chops for just about anything as a teen in freo driving a v8, so a weiand 6/71 and a bug catcher would earn you red sticker instantly.

    Most dudes had scoops like this:

  • I haven't got any pics of their cars but I do remember watching video of a bunch of them doing circle work on a concrete pad for 20min while the cops looked on from a nearby hill. Eventually they came down and got a talking to but I can't remember if they actually got busted for anything. Depends how good your shit talking is. I've been pulled over in my mate's 1/8th mile drag-setup VK doing 200-something with no windows, unbolted seats that just fell over when we got out, loose battery, the works and he talked his way out it. Amazing bullshitter. The cops looked at the engine and were like "that's a big carby, doesn't it flood?" hahaha Then again he was on his Ps for like a 100 years because he kept getting busted doing burnouts and shit.

  • Most of the time we’d just drive around cruising and posing in the v8s, with the odd race. We all had shitty vb wagons or utes (I liked little jap cars) for driving like dickheads and going to the beach.

    Not saying I never did it, but 20mins of doughies in an industrial estate at midnight on a Sunday never really did it for me.

    The gravel tracks behind the sand dunes in a Mazda Capella sideways as fuck was way more fun, especially bouncing off your mate in an equally shitty escort or corona
