I was walking to grab an Ice Cream with the hot sun beating down on my back when I heard a car screeching and seeing flashing blue lights. Being a sticky beak I am, sprinted the four or so blocks to see what the heck was going on.

To my surprise, I saw a police officer trying to control traffic and holding back pedestrians and with a BANG the cars started to roll on.
Cursing myself that I didn’t bring my newly acquired man-bag, I could only capture the footage with my dodgy Nokia 6600.

It was three black Silvia’s following a silver Mercede’s Benz around a cornor over and over again with the Silvia’s drifting widly and dangerously close to parked vehicles. Whilst there wasn’t any bingles the Silvia’s were drifting to around a metre or two distance from civilian cars.
I was kind of surprised that there were so few police and no barricades protecting on-lookers.

Speaking of which, watching the crowds reaction to screeching cars. Some jumped up, some ran away, and some (like me) couldn’t stop watching and saying ‘cool’.
The single police officer who’s job was to stop traffic and pedestrians at the same time said it the best: Step back from the curb please, there will be cars coming around the corner… sideways.

Later on in the day I found out that the movie was some type of asian movie. I wondered if that were the case because of the Silvia’s and was glad to be proven right.

They blocked off most of post office square and had some of the main actors there. I tried asking some question but didn’t get very far with Jinglish. It wasn’t as exicting as the cars though, and as such I didn’t stick around much - unlike these guys.
