Sh%t Craig - not good.

Are you sure it was whose car they said it was?

Why were they hooning in a built up area in a COBRA of all things.

Thankfully no injuries, but bloody hell!!

And THAT is why my kids do NOT drive my car (previous post about letting your kids drive)

I have 2,000 miles on my car and its that very video (ive watched it many times) that has kept me off the pedal. The car fish tailed with out warning quickly in the wrong direction!

I still have extreme tentativeness and respect for my 550 hp beast. Until I get it on a track or other safe environment I will not test the car's limits.

If you dont respect it.....YOU WILL.

Yep, very similiar. Although the Cobra seemed to spear off a lot faster than that. It's hard to say as it happened so fast and I wasn't anywhere near ready for it.

I keep thinking how glad I am for not getting collected in the process.
