EXTREME ROLLING SOUND SYSTEM
Hi neighbours,
I live up on Glenfield hill looking down on Birkdale and Beach haven area.
Now recently from time to time I have heard unbelievably load busts of music coming up from Birkdale and Beach haven
At the time I was thinking maybe it’s a sound crew testing their gear for the next AC/DC or Metallica gig
The busts of music would only ever last a few seconds at a time
“So anyway’s” last evening I was riding back from Takapuna on my motorbike when I was hit by a sonic boom of sound waves which nearly threw me off the bike
This noise came from a car in the lane beside me, I think this car started out as maybe a 2006 Mazda 3 sport hatch before it was highly modified
It looks like the rear seat and luggage area in the car has been removed to make way for a huge speaker system
I’m thinking the sound system can only be used for a few seconds at a time because of the huge drain on the cars battery
The car has been repainted in a nondescript colour similar to car in photo
Normally I’d note down the plate number of a car in question “but this time I was in shock”
I would love to know more about this car and driver if you see (and hear) it around
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
