[Spridgets] is your mechanic a hoon?

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

Hoon is a derogatory term used in Australia and New Zealand to refer to a
younger person who engages in loutish, anti-social behavior. 

In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives in a manner which is
anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, that is, fast, noisily
or dangerously. While generally applied to automobiles and other road
vehicles, anti-hooning legislation also targets hooning behavior wherever it
occurs, including motor boats.

Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching
tires. Those commonly identified as being involved in "hooning" or street
racing are young, predominantly male although increasingly female drivers in
the age range of 17 and 35 years.
