Firstly, the cop did a skid as he left, so... yeah I don't even have words to put to that. |

Firstly, the cop did a skid as he left, so... yeah I don't even have words to put to that. Secondly, I noticed a large increase in minitruckers last night lol, coincidence? Maybe there should be a sign in the driveway which states the rules (something along the lines of pick up your rubbish, any silly behaviour will be reported to police/management) etc. I don't think a lot of people realise that it's a business owner letting us hang around there for the night, this isn't a local shopping centre carpark where it isn't affecting anybody. Oh and also if there's no parks left, don't fucking double park, go and park across the road. If you got there too late to get a park that's your own fault. double park means to take up two parks? is that what you meant? |

The amount of people blocking others in just so they can have a spot in the main area is ridiculous, |

While I'm not condoning it people are always going to litter. Harry's make money from these nights I'm sure they can afford $20 to pay someone to clean up for an hour before they close. Of course they do. But why should they have to pay someone to clean up after some lazy pricks? People should have respect for the Harry's and clean up after themselves. How hard is it to put the rubbish in the bin? Or even put it in your car until you get home and put it wherever. To many fucking people still have their mummy's running around cleaning up after them so they have no fucking life skills. |

Have to agree with pretty much everything that has been said so far but I do think you have missed one major problem, the amount of people under the influence of alcohol comming to Harrys and continuing to drink in public when they get there, pretty much every week I see people with a can of their chosen poisen so to say in hand, I even saw a young girl fall over almost on someone's car because she was so drunk she couldnt walk and she only looked to be 15 or 16 so I say invite the cops in and let them deal with it. |

to be honest, i see no problem with taking off fast, sure if your screeching it up the road thats fair enough, but i really enjoying hearing the turbo's spool and then the orgasmic sound of the blow off valve. Taking off fast creates unwanted attention aswell. I'm normally the last person to ever whinge about people doing skids. But last night was pretty sad. I don't get much of a kick watching shit cars do single peggers with steering wheel tugs out of the carpark and nearly hitting the gutter everytime. The bogans at browns plains on a Saturday night put a better show on and are safer. You say you love hearing the turbos spool. If these car arn't spinning the tyres and creating smoke they must be pretty dam stock |

Why dont cops just hangout there? one night when I went there was a highway patrol parked at the entrance. not busting anyone, just hanging out and giving a presence. thats all it needs. no one is gonna skid when theres cops chillen in the crowd. So whats the problem? If the cops are there to just have a good time, keep everyone happy and stop stupidity then its the perfect solution? if theres some drunk bitch stumbling around then cops do something about it, like wise to the losers drinking etc |

The police obviously know that there are some idiots that come to this event each week. I went to the friday old school night last month and there was a police officer walking around talking to people. Instead of undercover cars patrolling newmarket rd why dont they just have one car parked at the entrance inside, not across the road backed up in the side street. Seems to me like they are revenue raising? |

My business is dining guides, when I approached him regarding advertising he told me he makes all his money on Thursday an Friday nights due to the support from the car scene and didn't need any more business. He said he spends the rest of the week preparing for the the weekend. I can only assume from that he is making money. Maccas pays cleaners to keep their car parks clean. As I said it's a cost of doing business. |

He said it was busier during the day than it was on thursday night. Only a handful of people actually spend more than $5 there on thursday nights |

As I said it's a cost of doing business. I think its more respect then anything else for the owners and workers, yeah $20 out of a profitable night isn't much but why should he? he has given a place for car enthusiasts to come, grab a bite, catch up with friends, relax and a safe area from getting defected(on the lines you aren't being a dickhead to get attention in the first place) so maybe a little bit of respect of putting rubbish in the bin isn't that hard I stayed back a lot later then usually once and was talking to the owner with a friend and they either have to wake up at 3am or have to be back at the diner at 3am, so that 1 hour they are cleaning the car park, could be spent sleeping(ive done 18 hour shifts plenty of times before then only having to get up at 2-3 hours later to go back to work and that extra hour sleep does wonders). so it dies down after 8:30-9, then they gotta clean the diner, then clean the carpark, cant imagine what time they are actually leaving to go home to sleep to wake up that early?? |

And also this People rarely buy anything at all on thursdays 99% of the people there all bring Maccas or Subway in from out side The drinks they also bring in thier self. It may seem packed on Thursdays but it seldom is in the restaurant and that is shit He gives us a place to hard park like mad @#$!s the least we can do is show a bit of support. HE Stops us getting defected, HE makes sure we have places to park, HE deals with the shit he cops over idiots. If he should start having to hire a cleaner then he should be well within his rights to charge an entry fee to cover the cleaner to people who do not buy a meal. He is one of THE nicest people I have ever met and yet people still walk all over him. The people that are really there to support the guy and have fun are the ones getting pissed about people not giving a shit and thinking it is totally his responsibility to clean up after lazy people and inbred scum. for me it is very hard to watch a guy like James do all he can to help us and a very few people return the kindness he shows towards us. James is not legally required to let people come there to just sit around and eat outside food and drink Alcohol, if he really wanted to he could tell us all to fuck off and call the cops to have us all removed, let us get defected and be on his way. People should really sit back and think about what he does before putting thier 2 cents in for what he should do. |

Well said, and I'm one of the few to make it a practise to ALWAYS buy something from the shop whenever I have been there for the fact that it is smart practise to support those who support you. You can buy Macca's or Subway and other day of the week... they are everywhere, and they do nothing in return for you. Why, on that one night a week would you favour them over a guy local independant guy who makes better food and gives you a place to do what you enjoy And why would you disrespect that by littering and then expecting him to clean up after your filthy lazy degenerate arses? A lot of you guys like to think of yourselves as enthusiasts... well, I'm sorry but this is NOT how enthusiasts act. Enthusiasts do not parade around like a pack of self centred little lowbreed fashion sluts that think the world owes them. A true enthusiast not only appreciates that which interests them, but also everything else which helps to support it and allows it to be possible in the first place. That being said, it is ultimately just wasted breath... like all the other wasted breath in the topic that preceded this one. Bogans will be bogan and no amount of common sense will ever prevent it. |

Food from harry's is great. Only downside is, if he is really not getting that much business, why does it often take 40 minutes to get a burger. This. I have stopped buying food at Harry's coz im sick of waiting for it. Took nearly an hour the week before last for freaking chicken chippies to cook. |

I have stopped buying food at Harry's coz im sick of waiting for it. Took nearly an hour the week before last for freaking chicken chippies to cook. This is the part I don't understand, everytime i've bought food from there its taken quite a while to get it, yet everyone says its not getting any business. Plus I never get a seat inside because its too packed and have to sit outside in the cold. You can buy Macca's or Subway any other day of the week... they are everywhere, and they do nothing in return for you. Why, on that one night a week would you favour them over a guy local independant guy who makes better food and gives you a place to do what you enjoy I must say though, I know some pretty wicked Subway combo's.. though I do eat it 3-4 times a week. |
