18 year old + M5 and 5 friends =

Well of course that is what I was referring to. So ironic to see such a person post in this particular thread, isn't it?

Obviously the M5 is bigger, has a better NCAP, more air bags bla bla.
Getting 5 blokes in a Saxo is hard enough.
Good and yes very ironic.

It was a 2008 M5.
A 1.1 Saxo won't even DO 150+ mph let alone get there before the end of a runway so no, it couldnt have happened in any car.
Besides - the chances of saying 'Get in my car lads and watch THIS' is far higher if you own a 500bhp than if you have a 50bhp car cos 1.1's are not impressive and your mates wont care.

So it's just an illusion the ammount of young lads that die showing off with others in their car.
They all drive 2008 M5's obviously

If you honestly think that there is no increased risk of a huge accident if an 18 year old has a 2008 M5 instead of a 1.1 Saxo then I no longer wish to waste any time debating anything of value with you on these forums.
Infact, go get an insurance quote, I'm sure there is only a few quid in it between an M5 and a Saxo
Hes still young and racing young. I respect him for what he does and the clear skill he has......
yes lee is fact

Where in this thread have I denied "the increased risk".
Of course there is an increased risk.
All I'm saying is this type of thing can happen in any car. I'm stating the fact that he got a load of mates in his car and obviously tried to show them what it can do.
Things may be different where you live Fox, but up here only a couple of weeks ago 3 lads were killed in a Saxo at a reasonably high speed down some lanes.

How is Clio racing the next step down from F1?
Pretty much an identical situation to you, i praise the lack of horses under my bonnet.
Oh and as for the top speed thing, my car doesn't go past 95/96 =[ i need to find a hill to see if i can break 100.
