  • Our local Street Racing in the 1970s also included an entrant provided by the Local Police. They also provided road closures and crowd control and usually won, reinforcing the idea that if you took part in illegal street racing, you were likely to get caught.

    There has been a huge crackdown on Street Racing in the last 50 years and we no longer locally manufacture Muscle Cars.

    The former Street Racers have turned to 4WDing and have been tearing up 4WD tracks and Firebreaks since.

    This makes it difficult for Hikers, Horseriders, Mountain Bikers, campers and recreational touring 4WDers, as well as park rangers and firefighters.

    Kinetic Yellow.

    Illegal in some countries because that sort of colour is reserved for Emergency Vehicles.

    I wanted to join Team Tennis Ball when I purchased my Jimny, but decided that Team Latte was a much better team to be on.

    The reason why the Jimny (Samurai) was discontinued in the US was due to Consumer Reports corrupting their testing procedures due to corporate pressure.

    The fact that a Jimny will not survive being hit by an oversized Truck reflects more poorly on the society that is normalising driving oversized Trucks than on the Jimny.
