"Under Western Australia's anti-hoon laws"
At first I thought it said "anti-poon", and I was thinking that would suck worse than having your gallardo impounded....

Unfortunately down here in Perth dems the brakes... The minister has his point I suppose, however I do strongly disagree with what they've done and what they're doing in WA (Western Australia). In my opinion it should've been the mechanic's car that was impounded for 28 days! I appreciate that the mechanic wasn't driving his own car at the time, but I think taking his car and NOT the Lambo would've be an appropriate course of action!
Why make the owner pay for someone elses poor actions???
Now I live in Perth and the owner of the Gallardo is a friend of mine and this is actually his daily driver... He has no other car to use for work!
As you can imagine the owner's pissed, with that said I asked him if there's been any progress into getting it back and I was told he's counting down the 28 days
I suppose this is what happens when you don't take it to the actual Lamborghini dealership to be serviced!
Here's a few pictures of the car in the wild, before it was grabbed.
Cheers,
Josh

No worries Blake, I feel special knowing I'm in the source for the info hehe :P
Also, it's an Aussie spec I'm pretty sure, every G that I've seen in Perth has had the orange side marker, except for the LP560 & Superleggera.

"The minister has his point I suppose"
Yeah, his point is that he is slavishly devoted to the letter of the law instead of the intent, even if it hurts someone else. Used to pass off individual thought, action and responsibility. I think its called the nuremberg defense.
