    Default More Car-based riots in Melbourne

    For all people living in Melbourne that are into cars - The scene is now dead and buried.

    A number of f@#kwits that saw someone on facebook post a link to a meet on princes highway tonight took it upon themselves to destroy a bob jane t-marts on the corner of princes highway and warrigul road. Apparently in retaliation for the cancellation of Easternats.

    A section of princes highway was blocked off with Highway patrol because of this.

    At the store, the Bob Jane vahicles had been rolled onto their rooves and the store had all the windows smashed in. From what we could see some of the stock had been stolen as well.

    To everyone involved, I say that anyone who is genuinly into cars despises you. You've now slammed what i believe to be the final nail in the coffin of car enthusiasts in this state.

    I hope you're happy.

    Yeah the protest was aimed at trying to get Easternats back. Good job!

    All theyve managed to do is make us look like criminals.

    This Has killed it, these absolute f'ing idiots have destroyed any chance of us getting government support for more car events. I feel sorry for Davo now, how's he going to find somewhere to resurrect the Easternats for next year, no one will support it.
    These f'wits should be strung up by their small penises and flogged with a tyre iron.

    This was always going to happen from the moment the "protest" was announced....every idiot in Melbourne was going to turn up, i bet most of them don't even know what it was in protest of.

    These dropkicks aren't car enthusiasts, nothing more than pieces of shit.

    Who cares what they do? Just worry about your own conduct and don't associate with these kinds of things and you'll be fine. I don't think it is indicative of the car culture in Australia at all. Don't drive like a muzza or hang out with them and you'll be fine.

    Well what did everyone expect? Why is everyone suprised? A bunch of people in modified cars, angry that the Nats was cancelled, on a "protest cruise". Did you all think it was going to be peaceful? C'mon, we live in Melbourne FFS.

    Bunch of idiots. Now i reckon mister Bob Jane should be able to take to the offenders cars with tire iron. Eye for an eye.

    So, because the Easternats gets cancelled, it gives all these knuckleheads the right to be wankers and trash a store? There would have been bugger all "car enthusiasts" there, would have been a bunch of school kids with nothing better to do on a Friday night.

    I'll go one better than Cobez, the owner of that particular store should be allowed to drop his hoist on all there heads....

    Exactly man ^^^^ As stated in the article, he is a franchise owner, not Bob Jane himself. It's unfair and un called for. By the looks of the photo's, they look like your typical Chapel Street lappers.

    Wankers. Hence why my ute gets driven to work, and to mates houses and weekends away. It doesn't get used for much else. Because of twits like this, i don't attend cruises and such. And i can't say i blame the Police for breaking up weekly cruises etc, if i had to put up with half the shit the Police do on a daily basis, i'd be in jail for murder.

    Yeh, i only went to Easternats once, and to be quiet honest i think it was shit. Nowadays, i'm happy to just go to static car shows, because you don't tend to get the typical Chapel wankers "ripping it up" when they leave the show like what happens at Easternats and such....All these idiots achieve is a stronger police presence at car shows that canary every car as it leaves the event, wrong doing or no wrong doing, which sucks for the people doing the right thing.

    The car scene attracts alot of gronks and fairly undeucated people (not all) Im not surprised that something like this has happened after the cancelation of easternats they types of people who turn up to these events are deffinetly capable of this type of behaviour.

    Although i don't really support the Easternats, i think thats a bit rough, atleast the people there are doing the right thing....unless ofcoarse they take it to the streets after leaving the event. Not everyone that goes to car events is a "hoon" most people go to these events to have a bit of fun in there car in a controlled environment (read: racetrack). There is a difference.

    It would be nice if this was the case, but your average sheeple will listen to what the media feed them and then will follow it unconditionally. Anyone with an even slightly modified car or perhaps even a stock commodore may be tarred with the same brush as these complete fools. And a franchise owner had his store trashed because of this race meet being cancelled? That shows just how stupid the people are that were involved.

    Every few months in Shepparton the GV car club has an event at the DECA complex. $60 to take part in 4-5hrs or driving event. Motorkhana - Burnouts and drags.

    Any thing and everything participates. Its good fun and everyone goes home safe afterwards. Police have a quick squiz and are then on their way as most people are behaved. The scene is still alive, just have to be responsible.

How much longer is it going to take before these twats realise there is a time and place for this shit. Makes us all look like fools and makes it harder to have a good cruise when everyone is labeled a hoon.

    I feel for the owner of the FRANCHISE who has most likely worked his ass off to keep his business going.... What did this acheive?

    What a bunch of idiots! A BIG bunch for that fact, didn't even care about the fact they were being watched. No doubt the Government will be cracking down on ANY events now.... Damned fools.
