A man angered by a boyracer doing burnouts used his four-wheel-drive vehicle to ram the car, writing it off.
Ed Murray was trying to sleep at his Tauranga New Zealand home this week when he was woken by a car at a nearby tennis club carpark.
"I jumped in the Nissan, shot over there and they were doing donuts in the tennis courts," he told the Bay of Plenty Times.
"I put it in 4WD and smashed it right into the front of their car. "
He pushed the car across gravel for about 15m, through a neighbouring property's fence, then jumped out and yelled at the driver.
The police turned up and the boyracers scattered.
The smashed up car of the boyracer was impounded by police.
Mr Murray said he and other neighbours were sick of the constant noise and smoke the boyracers brought to the area.
Mr Murray has two children, including an 8 year old who he won't let outside when the boyracers appear as early as 5.30pm.
Neighbour Billy Atwal - the man whose fence was smashed -- - said he could totally understand how Mr Murray reacted the way he did.
"I understand, yes. He was really angry for a good four, five minutes, he just couldn't stop," he said.
Mr Atwal had lived in the house next to the tennis courts for over a year and boyracers had constantly been a problem, he said.
Constable Peter Mitchell of the Strategic Traffic Unit said police had yet to make a decision on whether to charge Mr Murray or the alleged boyracer, or both.
