Default Boy racer issue - getting serious

I read in an article that several people are considering LEAVING Christchurch and New Zealand as they believe the boy racer problem is out of hand

Residents and businesses are stating that the problem is affecting their health

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/...ectid=10497192

Interesting statement -

“We are treating the symptom, the underlying problem is the real issue here and councils alone cannot solve this problem," he told Radio New Zealand.”


Of course there are the few on BE that will try to discredit me for posting this so as to pretend there is no boy racer problem.

Yeah right

Why can't you find something positive to report from the news for a change...........

Here's one for you:

Hot Summer Over All

http://www.stuff.co.nz/4433576a11.html

Dunedin notched up more sunshine hours than ever before, Wallaceville in Upper Hutt recorded its highest ever January temperature of 30.9degC and Palmerston North registered its highest ever January temperature of 31.8degC.

I don't understand Campbells if it's all so s^&t why you don't emigrate again to somewhere better? I honestly don't mean that to sound antagonistic, I just think if I hated where I'd ended up so much I'd look to move again. I know you'll argue costs & family etc, but if I was miserable I'd leave. I was miserable in the UK ... so I left.

Correction, I pass low slung 14" PHAT exhaust cars that sound like tractors, maybe three a week on the road, have been flicked the finger once by one driver when I was doing the 50K speed limit and they mistook me for old Nana, other than that nothing?

Thats not serious, thats every saturday night at southend sea front...

Seriously, you will get the show off boyracers when you group loads of them in one "stadium".. The report stated "though the police were keep busy there was no serious incidents".Also a policeman got hit several times but sustained no injuries, he must have been hit with plastic bottles! Now thats not a case for people to leave chch is it!...

PHAT exhaust on crappy nissan sunny automatics, i don't get it. Actually they make me laugh, especially when they are lowered on their suspension and the driver's puppy fat is all jiggly. Well attractive innit
