Always Hoon Responsibly
Mom, what's a Hoon? Here, watch this son.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Closing out the year Hoon style.
P.S. I wonder if young Oliver will get grounded? I am pretty sure Petter would never put up with such nonsense behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Let's not tell Petter about this little indiscretion.

So, that's what happened to my old F150.
What do you think of such irresponsible driving?
Dear Friend Dave: My Enoch-O-Bile (Oldsmo-Buick) is old enough to vote.
December 2019 it can purchase and place alcohol in its tank legally.
Your old F150 is in better shape than my chariot, and my cardio-vascular system.
Good show, dear friend.
Downshifting and popping the clutch to wind up 2018.
E.
Enoch, here is my advice to you.
Do not let Kenny Block see the Enoch-O-Bile. Never under any circumstance. if he gets his hands on it, in one blink it will look like those cars in the video!!!
Thank you Enoch.
P.S. Make sure you get that counterweight and base pressure right on that clutch.
Dear Friend Dave: LMAO!
Good one.
Great way to end one year, and begin another.
Nothing like a smile to end and begin again.
E.
Glad you liked that Enoch.
BTW I found an online shipper for the horseradish. They only have the "white", which we all like.
But the girls are river girls having grown up on the south Dnieper. Fish is a big part of their diet and they love beats when used as a garnish. Not so much the main part of the meal like the Russians and Poles. So, I am looking for the red too. This will surprise them when they get back home.
Have a good and safe New Year Enoch.
Thank you again.
Um... ... I don't get it. I guess it looks fun.
That is the main part right there.
Shona can probably give a better first hand definition of hoon, as it's use is more of an Australian/New Zealand term. My interpretation is a label to folks a little rough around the edges with bad car manners, such as hanging out together and doing burnouts and other annoying things behind the wheel.
In my circles it has become a bit of a joke and folks like Ken Block have melded hoon behaviour (Hooning) with their form of "drifting" entertainment.
For many, me included, it is fun to watch.
The mention of Oliver Solberg and his dad Petter is a reference to their skills behind the wheel World Rally Cars. If the trophy for that championship is ever redesigned, I would not be surprised if it will be a rendering of Petter Solberg, who has been known to do some "Candid Camera" style hooning himself.
Mom was a reference to my mom who introduced me to motorsports when I was a very young kid.
Cute, doing it in front of the old train station that Ford bought to remodel into a headquarters.
That is a good story SP.
I have my concerns about Hacket. Guess we have to wait and see.
One good story on the Hoonigan (the F150), while Block's team was building the engine for the vehicle, Ford told them "here take this Ford GT motor and use as your mule while developing the end target"...something to that effect.
That's a good story too.
Thanks SP.
Hers's another sort of heartwarming story about the new Ford building. ( people are strange )
I thought I gave you a thumbs up on that article earlier?
It has one now.
Here is some more detail on the truck.
Here’s another article on the Train station deal.
Evening Dave..Looks more like a ferals ute...Yep hooning still goes on here big time...Happy New Year by the way....
Ute?? Sounds like more Aussie slang, but you haven't taught me that one yet!
Err no not on this occasion.....A Ute is not slang, it is an actual car...has a cabin and tray on the back..I guess the closest I can think of and what a mouthful is your "pick up truck"...Ute see, simple to the point and all in a little 3 lettered word...So here we have Holden Utes, Ford Utes tradies have Utes for their tools etc....Not a "pick up truck" to be seen....So if you hear: "I was bush bashing in the sticks in my Ute when I was hooning and got bogged and I had to hoof it"..Means driving my Ute in the bush, being a feral, got stuck in the mud and had to walk...No worries...
In my neck of the woods Ute’s are native Indians.
The balance is, stopping the rot vs rebuilding industry.
Where does does the balance land?
Good morning Shona.
A few fellas I know will give the same truck vs ute lecture.
Though I know the difference, maybe only a couple here (Kavika and maybe Doc) know the difference as well.
I'll provided a little translation a little further down.
Happy New Years to you as well.
Cheers.
Shona is right, here is a little translation.
Ute is a common term for Utility Vehicle. what we call pick-ups (don't add truck) is a type of ute. Also vehicles similar to the old El Caminos and Rancheros are also considered Utes. A fine example was the Falcon Pursuit 250.
Tray = Bed
Cabin = Cab
All of these vehicles are considered cars.
There is a slang term for Ute that I will not use here.
Cheers.
Love it Shona.
P.S. Here is an idea of what a truck is.
Hey Shona, in the prior vid was the reference to the Hoonicorn. Here she is, a '65 Mustang..."not your fathers" '65 Mustang.
Ha, that's nothing dave.
This is my 1988 Yugo 1500. I also race a 1989 Wego (4 door model)...Had Goodyear 185/60-13 street tires and a strada 1500 short block with a yugo 1100 head. She was a rumbly beast that could push out 100 HP on a good day.
I did the Pikes Peak challange and was so fast that I can't even tell you my time and speed. It would put the so called hot cars and drivers to shame.
This is a completely true story with no BS added. I would never, ever make this up...
I named her, ''Bura''....The powerful winds from the north.
This is why the roads buckle, lol.
Whoa!!!!
I have heard of these fellas. Keeps these fellas away from me.
They are outlaw racing pick pockets extraordinaire.
Tell those fellas I am out of the office.
Can you imagine trying to overtake one of those things going 10 under on a 2 lane black top? (reminds me of a classic).
Driving in to those hurricanes can be tough when you are on the coast.
Drifting in the extreme.
It sure is. I love his vids.
A hooning we will go, a hooning we will go. Hi ho the dairy-o, a hooning we will go.
LOL, we sure will.
Have a good and safe New Year Kavika.
To all, enjoy your New Year.
Keep it safe and fun.
