Anything a weapon as picnic turns into brawl
Alan Mascarenhas
January 16, 2007


THEY came at each other with saucepans and kitchen knives, even a
folded-up picnic chair. As food fights go, this was bloodier - and more
resourceful - than most.

Details emerged yesterday about how a serene Sunday picnic at Dolls
Point in southern Sydney had degenerated into

a 45-minute brawl. Police say the fight, in fading light between two
clans, erupted when a child from one family was struck by a soccer
ball.

Photographs passed onto the Herald by a witness show furious
bare-chested men flinging punches as a woman waves desperately.

"You could see the heated body language before it started," said the
witness, a 66-year-old named Nick who was playing Keno at the nearby
Georges River 16ft Sailing Club.

"I looked through the window and thought something's going to happen.
Sure enough, the first biff came, then the second biff, then all the
other groups start flying in from the side.

"There was a bloke walking around with a folded chair and he was having
a swing. There was screaming and shouting ... even the women were
having a go at each other."

At one point an elderly man smacked a youth, possibly his son or
grandson, Nick said. "That young boy then stopped, he was solemn for a
couple of minutes like he'd been chastised. But it was short-lived
because a couple of minutes later he was back in, hoeing into everyone
else."

Scott Hughes, the manager of the sailing club, described the flare-up
as out of control.

"A guy in a red singlet, he went and grabbed a saucepan from the
camping site and he's gone and hit the other guy," Mr Hughes said.
"Then the other guy picked up a piece of wood ... the guy with the red
singlet was bleeding from the head."

Police swooped on the scene within 10 minutes, but soon called for
reinforcements as the fight "kept flaring", Nick said.

Photographs seen by the Herald depict a virtual mob scene in the picnic
area car park, with several officers wearing protective riot shields.

Paramedics treated a man for a gash to the head. A man, 19, was later
arrested and charged with wielding a knife in a public place. He has
been granted bail to appear at Kogarah Local Court on January 30.

I suggest you do a little research on the EVO9

Why? Id never buy a ratteling junker like that...Rice burning crap made
from re-cycled sucken Jap battleship steel. Did you see the U-tube
video of one? Jeeze..... I never heard so much rattling and was totally
bored with it's preformance...it's on par to a 74 AMC gremlin. Probly
as reliable as the Dino.

OK i did....just as a favor to you Oz.....I found it suffers major
turbo lag and at 33+ thousand dollars it's interior is cheap
Mitsubshi's.

And takes over 5 second to get up to 60 mph. Ugly styling IMO.

Bwahahahahaha.

The Corvette speedometer see's 60 MPH comin right up in 3.4 seconds
(!!!) and the quarter-mile served in 11.7 (!!!), it is just stupid-fast
- stupid because full use of 1st or 2nd gear torque shoves your head
into the seat with enough force to cause brain damage if done
repeatedly. Also stupid because that's the feeling you'll instill in
any driver who assumes he can keep pace in an ugly boxey jap trap.

The Mustang GT's will also stomp the Evo 9 ass as well. So will the
Caddy V editions ect...ect...ect. the list is long Oz.

Not to mention the 911's or Cayman's, audi's, mercedes, all better
looking and better preformance with comfort.

A big 4 banging.... under boosted.... turbo lagged ...ruff
running..ratteling.... jap slap.... is so yesterday.

So, how's your rusted out Econoline doing, Joe?

Rusted out?

First unibody truck hot zinc dipped Charlie, that and it spent many
many years parked inside a barn in Oklahoma. It has no rust at all.
The 144 six banger, combined with grannie gears gets me from O-60 in
about 2 min if the wind is in the right direction. Never fails to
start. Just put in a new clutch and plate. Also found original 62
Falcon Econoline edition spinner hubcaps... It's perfect.

As you can see, it has no rust in this photo:
http://sports.webshots.com/photo/264...63212926SIZiAo
Now it's been primed and is ready to paint. In this photo album you
will see sailing photos, something you are ashamed to post.

Thanks for asking.
