Not anymore. There is now an increasing number of female particiants. Also the new weapon of choice is now "chook-cookers" ie modified rotary 4 cylinders, Mazda, Nissan etc.

our motor mechanic loves them as they are constantly buying new tyres!

A hoon the other day did a doughnut (wheel spin with brakes on to churn up tyres and loads of black smoke) as I was walking with my baby daughter in her pushchair. The only other person around was an old dear with a walking frame- not sure who the hoon was trying to impress out of this select audience!

Hoons are typically young males with hotted up cars, that they have spent a fortune on modifying ( or their rich parents have) and have a traffic history as long as your arm,

Makes me wonder how they manage to escape the cameras. I think they must know where and which roads they can go steaming on. Because here in WA they are everywhere (the hoons) baffoons.
