**Boy racer loses dad's car**

haha

mate thats fine

and definitely...a goose

OWNED!

who drag races a bog-standard c-class??!!

he gets goose of the week just for that. let alone getting caught and what not

what a goose.

sad thing is that the hatchback probably won.

The parents will get the car back quick if they are smart. He is 16 and on Ls, therefore they did not give him permission to use it. It then becomes a stolen vehicle and should not be held under the hoon laws. Had they have given him the keys it's a different matter.

Now, his family is facing a fight in court and more than $500 in storage and towing fees to recover the silver sedan after it was impounded.

"He has lost the car but the owners will have to make an application to the court if they want it back. And there have to be all sorts of representations about hardship for that to happen," Inspector Ian Pride said.

"It's not that simple to get (a vehicle) back."

And I have to wonder Mike, how many parents are gonna lag their son/daughter in for stealing the family car?

I would

Yeh..... like that's gonna happen???
No prejudice here - but if the area stated is anything to go by - mummy and daddy will sort it all out for him, pay the fines n wotever, and there will be no (or minimal) consequences for him and hence no lesson learnt! And he'll probably go out and do it again.
Not that I'm pessimistic or anything

Farken hell....I'm glad none of you were my parents!!!

I don;t know about you guys, but my folks would have been wrapped if all I ever did was get busted by the cops, for joy riding in the old mans car!

FWIW, by the time I had hit 14, the boys in blue had already taken me home, to tell the folks about my antics on the roads with their car.

ZJ Fairlanes do 188klms flat out.
ZJ fairlanes get air over the golf course hill.
ZJ Fairlanes can outrun a Divvy Van on a dirt road. (Provided you have no more than three pissed mates in it)
ZJ fairlanes stand out in a country town in 1981...they knew who it was!!!



FFS, he's a 16 year old kid who is out making his mistakes in order to hopefully learn. Impetuous maybe...a Goose as such..maybe not!

Yeh he's a 16 year old kid - til someone gets killed (or he kills himself)???
When we we're kids, we were scared of the wooden spoon and dads hand! These days however no discipline (or very little) for a lot of kids - and a lot of em (no not all of em!) turn out to be brats with no manners and/or show very little respect. And these days the lengths they will go to, or the risks they are prepared to take seem to be more extreme.

Don't get me wrong Marty, I'm not saying I was perfect - far from it (and no, I'm not going into detail lmao) ....... but I was disciplined just the same, that's all.

I'm with you ZXRobyn... these days there is no disapline, no respect and no accountability.
I'm all for fun and learning from your experiences....but there has to be accountability for the lesson to be learnt.
Hell im no angel..... rolled my grandads tractor.. with him still on it at the age of 14...no he wasnt hurt.. but i couldnt sit down for a week...Wooden spoons were getting expensive in our house so old polly sat behind the door..( polly pipe)

This is what happens when you take away the parents right to discipline the kids! When i was a young bloke the thought of facing my old man if i'd done something stupid scared the shit out of me. But getting the occasional clip around the ears didn't turn me into an angry abusive man, it smartened my bloody ways up tho! I'm not one for belting the shit out of kids but a smack on the arse when they do something out of line is fine by me. Kids these days are out of control, and seriously lacking respect for their elders.
