Ok im sure everyone here is sick of the biased BS that ACA show about hoons so I encourage everyone here to send e-mails to ACA telling them how you feel. You can use this templete if you want. Hi, My name is ............... and I'm a member of the car scene in N.S.W. and I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a hoon, when it is in fact the opposite! Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths, and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story. The car scene has now taken it upon themselves to make sure you hear us load and clear, and this email is just the beginning! We will not stop sending this same email until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation. Regards ........................., a proud member of the car scene in N.S.W http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/feedback/feedback_form.asp

Well said 2LETHL. Use the template if you want to but i would suggest to make your own letter, that way ACA will not think that we are all mofos just copying a template. Let the bombardment begin Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol guys these shows arent at all interested in the truth! they want a controversial story to get ratings and nothing more. i've seen cases where a story has been written based on false evidence, even when the truth has been provided to them. they won't use the truth if its not as interesting as the story they found on a website or whatever. this specific example wasnt ACA but i dont know that they'd be much better... dont let that stop you but unless they get thousands of letters i doubt they'll even flinch Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its a pity because they will be happy to see that the show was successful in portraying all us as hoons. But would like to see the response. If you want to make em really notice you should stick a bung cracker up their asses instead.

im going to edit it to suit melbourne sent Hi, My name is Dale and I'm a member of the car scene in Victoria, and I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a hoon, when it is in fact the opposite! Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths, and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story. So does that mean that a car with a turbo or supercharger is automatically a death-trap? you can quite easily kill yourself in any car, so having modifications means that you increase the risk of an accident ? come on. I know a heap of people that have highly modified cars and they drive sensibly. The car scene has now taken it upon themselves to make sure you hear us load and clear, and this email is just the beginning! We will not stop sending this same email until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation. Regards Dale, a proud member of the car scene in Victoria

ACA and TT are shows which cater to insecure people, to make them feel better about themselves.

Im so sick & tired of hearing ACA portray something we love and do for a hobby...The Police are a big contribution. Police go out on the news and say that us P-Platers are menaces to the public when its the ***ing police who harrass us and purposely try to get on our backs so they will get a reaction and then will take action against us....these are the little games they play to *** us over....for example; Undercover Cops pulling up at the lights in a black XR6 turbo asking to drag people...and if ppl say no the cops harass them and say cmon lets drag..till the person gives in and gets caught. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Heres the one i sent. It has been modified somewhat: Good afternoon, My name is John and I'm a member of the car scene in Victoria, and I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a "hoon", when it is in fact the opposite! Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths (you well and truly know that), and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story. Now tell me, is that fair? Now if a car has modifications does that mean that you increase the risk of an accident ? Well, have you ever thought of vehicles that are old and unroadworthy and driven by people who are past the age of having driving ability? Or, how the law uses unmarked vehicles on the street to temp drivers with apparent modified vehicles to drag on public roads? Which pose bigger risks? I suppose that those stories would not attract much viewing so you would rather put something a little more saucy and have people with modified cars labelled as "hoons". Now you may be thinking this email comes from some disgruntled young P plater but that is not the case. My sentiments will also be sounded by many in the car scence in VIC and possibly other states. We will not stop until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation. Regards John, a proud member of the car scene in Victoria

2 LETHAL - Member of the 'car scene' thats a new one... I can see where you're coming from with your letter..but your letter doesn't support your main points with any facts or evidence.. Quote: Every time you run a "hoon" story you are deliberately deceiving the public as to the real truths, and ACA have never ever once given the real members of the car scene a chance to show the real and other side to the story. You haven't given any evidence/facts to support this. How do you know they haven't given a chance to 'car scene' members to tell their side of the story? Perhaps the have and members of the 'car scene' have declined? Quote: I am sick and tired of your one sided programs showing anyone with a modified car to be a hoon, when it is in fact the opposite! Once again, not backed up by any evidence or facts. - Give examples of how and when they did this. Quote: The car scene has now taken it upon themselves to make sure you hear us load and clear, and this email is just the beginning! Elaborate on this please? Quote: We will not stop sending this same email until there is confirmation in the car scene that a proper and truthful story has been done on this subject by ACA. We will not lay down any longer and have the public only see one side of the situation. Again, no facts or evidence to back up they have given a "one sided" report. Also in stead of threatening them in a friendly way for them to give you a chance to tell your side of the story, try asking them politely for you to have a chance of your side of the story. I'm not saying that they haven't given a one sided report, but my point is, if you're going to send an e-mail to experienced journalists, you should set it out more carefully, with facts and evidence.
