The young women drive with as much skill and daring as the males. They participate in the verbal interchanges between cars with as much verve and raucousness as the males. They are active participants, not merely peripheral spectators. Young rural women who attend elite private schools are just as likely to participate as their working class sisters. This makes 'blockies' quite unusual, it is not only a gender inclusive phenomena, but it also cuts across class barriers.
Egalitarian principles govern the dynamics of 'blockies'.
As many people as possible pile into one car. Surplus vehicles are parked to minimise the cost of petrol. Doing 'blockies' is cheap entertainment. There is a recognition that nobody has much money to spend. The cars are easily recognisable by their make and vintage.
