    78 years old and he's in a bright red Nissan hatchback? That man has no shame.

    They just paid their $600 fine, didn't they? That's right. Let the old guy go, he's clearly sharper than most drivers his age.

    Why do you guys keep saying "he and another man in a Nissan GT-R" when you lot posted a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R (extra points; there is one on craigslist for sale in Los Angeles right now!)

    @Plecostomus - Now with 20% more Algae!: The old hoon was driving a Pulsar, the other guy was driving a GT-R. Both were cited.

    Geez, my father in law is 72 and still can outdrive most anybody I know.


    BTW: Isn't Aussie Hoon redundant?

    Do you really want someone that old going faster than their age (mph of course....no strike that, kph as well)?

    @maximum-sienna: Depends on the person. I belive Paul Newman was in his 80s when he last ran at the Daytona 24hrs.

    Geez, I dunno. Would the age exemption also include the half-senile nipple-pants set that on occasion confuse the gas pedal with the brake and launch their grocery getter through shop windows and unfortunate humans? You know, unintentional hoonage?

    @Orgasmatron: If you're over seventy, you should HAVE TO demonstrate that you can successfully control your car at 170 KPH, and earn the exemption, or you lose your license altogether.

    At 78, he should have claimed that he'd been trying to slow down for the past mile, but the brake pedal just kept making the car go faster.
