Was Your Dad a Hoon

[Philthy]

My dad? Well no...But his dad and a couple of his brothers are

One of my uncles has heaps of stories like how he got done doing a burnout in grandpas '79 Falcon 500 AMS, or how quick his turbo forester gets to 200.

Another uncle has a VT clubsport, turbo barina and is building a HJ? (well an old ute anyway) ute with skyline suspension and VS GTS engine and gearbox. He has too many stories to list.

Grandpa loves comparing his many cars. The falcon 500 doesn't get out anymore, but he thinks his new accord sticks to the road better at 180 than his BA or old accord

I know where I get my love of cars from

My dad is still a hoon too, Had many cars and many crashes Loved his motorbikes too had a Ducati 900??? which he stacked on the dirt road that led to our old house on the way home from the pub one night got some mad gravel rash and a broken arm for his stupidity. Bike ended up getting a nice british racing green respray and he still blames me to this day for losing his keys to it, which of coarse i never did.....

So there is hope for me yet - when I go fully grey and still want to hoon around. (got my first grey hairs this year)

My dad was a hoon, he owned a car yard for 20 yrs or so and saw a number of hot cars and bikes come and go. Early 70s he owned an XT GT Falcon and lost his licence within a month of owning it, so after that my mum drove it around. We're currently restoring an XT GT to look just like that one.

dad was a hoon until he wrote of his hq munro at over 160 kph around a at most 100kmh corner in town.
wasnt his only car he wrote off either.

Ha,ha I am THE dad was a hoon but cooled off a bit (ahem) Had a HR with factory "opel" 4 speed twin carbies and disc front end . Got it airborne on Springvale road in the 70's when i hit a pile of crushed rock when they were making it a three lane road . I was hooning with two other mates and i was in the inside lane , the one what was under construction with the pile of rock .The car landed so hard that it broke the windscreen and the front doors wouldn't open .

or how quick his turbo forester gets to 200.

someone correct me if i am wrong... but i think you will find they are speed limited to 180

nah my old boy doesnt mind his cars especially old holdens& the occasional cruise but his passion is fishing he cant get enough of it oh and also being a VERY aggresive person, some of the stories of when he was my age (23) are crazy, some of the s%^$ he did back 30 years ago id be in so much trouble for now id easily be in jail but like il always say the baby boomers were the last bunch of real crazy bastards :thumbsup:
