had it hanging at the back of my car
last owner seemed like a good guy, but i know where he is from, and people from there drives interesting, so that may be right
norway has some pretty stupid rules about this.. and hanging around in our cars isnt allowed around here anymore, we car enthusiast have to hide at places or get chased away..
actually did one demonstration against this, and about 80-100 cars were driving about 40km/h at the highway, and that made the cops stay of our asses for a while
It is not yet quite as bad here, but I think we are headed to that direction, it is this nordic social society thing, I think, those that care people to death are given too much power so they start force what one can like, for public safety and all that, some other time at some other place I think they had similar, so it is no wonder there are conflicts, but sadly it is not what people on power will get.
However they will not win, our love to cars is bigger

yea, they wont win
its actually just this bad south in norway, up north the cops open up places so that the car enthusiasts (rånere) can skid around and burn out as much as they like, also they arrange winter drifting and do it themselves
War isnt about who is right, but who is left

I envy your north, that is much better than what we get here, here they give you fines by per meter of black lines drawn

here to, i think its about 1500 kr per meter

we're trying to get a place to do that around here to, but we have been trying to do that for about a year now, and the cops around here have become more and more strict about everything the youth are doing, so i doubt it ever happening, so we just hide and do it instead
