Was Your Dad a Hoon

[88GreenVN]

All this stuff about Commodore drivers being Hoons got me thinking in the wee hours of the morning (not caffine induced)

My Dad was a 1st class Hoon with motor bikes and cars.

If they were not stuffing a holden motor into a Morry they were drag racing DKW's down Hindley Street. Doing figure 8's in the Honda 4 & sidecar (with us in it) to belting down the road in the EH at around 100 mph to get it in air over on a rise in the road.

So it's in my blood to be a Hoon sort of. I try to control my self but every now and then it brakes out and opps Hooned again.

Now my dad is almost 72 and he still loves a bit of Hooning (like when I had the VX S/C car) Mum hated it - Dad just grinned for an hour after it.

So does anyone else think it's in the blood - was/is your Dad a Hoon too?

My old man used to own race car driver Gary Willmington's personal car.

A 1967 XR Falcon with a worked 200 "Super Pursuit" six pack, in manual.

He bought it in 1971 and traded it in around 1984. Still reckons it was the most reliable car he had. My mum was booked a few times in it, doing 90mph on the highway.

He then bought a HSV enhanced VP Calais in 1994, the one I have now, and proceeded to scare the crap out of me with several 200km/hr+ runs up the back of Mt Keira

Yes

I am glad to say, that in the years we didnt have contact he lost his hooniness. When I started visiting again, he found his inner hoon which he feeds regularly, on Fords.

my dad wasnt a hoon ,never owned a V8 never did burnouts (to the best of my knowledge) and his first nice car was a HK wagon,lol. it sucks, coz mates could say to there olds' "well you did it" and get away with it and i couldnt. oh well. did it anyway

 

[Holdfast]

Yeah

My old man had an EH Ute, got done doing 98mph.

Then, when he got a ford capri he use to scare the S### out of us going too fast in the Adelaide hills. (hit the guard rail:bang

My old man was a bit of a hoon in his youth going by his stories and the amount of cars he wrote off. He's just an old man SUV driver now! He's also a one-eyed Ford fanboy as well!
