Default Hows about we organize a proper protest?

Lo all,

How about we organize a massive protest using the cars that we enthuse about, all around Australia.

We get everyone with a high performance or modified car (not just fords) to start on the outskirts of whatever your capital city is, in a carpark (or 2), and drive in 1st gear through the city, just as peak hour starts, and finish at the biggest political building you have in your capital city.

Rev your engine as much as you want, but any burnouts will likely result in your car being impounded, as the Police are going to be there, whether we like it or not.

We get the whole thing publicized on talkback radio, the rest of the radio stations will follow and bring even more support.

Now that's a proper, nondestructive, non-riot protest.

I remember the Truckies of Brisbane did a similar thing last year (year before?), and it worked out pretty well for them.

We need to make a stand about no Government funding for controlled performance driving, amidst a worsening crackdown on 'hoon' behavior on the roads, no matter how secluded said road may be.

Personally, I couldn't organize my way out of a wet paper bag, so anyone who wants to take the reigns from here on in is more than welcome.
