    The Orange is a UK news service.................it has stories from all over the world

    The attached video states the possible fine as "8000 dollars" It also uses the word "hooning"...........distinctly Aussie

    reporter even stated in the northern territory so im guessing your not from Australia after all other wise the dollars and the hooning word would ring some bells ..

    that sure does look like fun though although I still wouldn't do it with them crocs around
