Surely wouldn't be to hard to work out!!!

.....there is one other person STUPID enough that I know of that does those speeds in a 60kph zone around that area!!!!

Maybe it was a shakedown for the coming PARK event!!!

Gee, you'd be a might miffed if it was on a test drive


Bit hard to explain to the owner............Err where's my car ? " umm I err left it with the errm ....ermm them blokes with the blue uniforms......"
I'm sure they look after it for you...........Oh & bye the way......you can't pick it up for a day or 2....see ya, & thanks for the drive .

Either way a pretty stupid thing to do.

Default oh it would be so easy.

I used to be 38 it seems i went from thirty to forty way to quick .
I dont think i could face a customer if i got their cobra impounded. Free services for the next 10 years would even come close to consoling them.
Craig is right in saying it is so easy to get to 100 mph with out realising it. A quick squirt and bang your done if you happen to get caught you are labeled a hoon . I am very sedate on the road it helps driving an old f100 around. But I do like to go hard on the track.
See you all in a few days.

So... we don't know who this was but we do know the driver wasn't the owner of the vehicle?

Stiffy - who is your source?

All I know is it was a bloody stupid thing to do. It could be forgiven if it was on the motorway but not on a residential street.

From the news articles on the web, it would appear that the "hoon" in question of this thread will most likely now be heading to court.

As if they're going to be owning up to anything on a public forum!!

I dare say he has been caught red handed, so not much chance of getting off.

Seems to be a lot of "new" user names popping into this thread.
