How did you not hit the Landy if you pulled in feet from his bumper doing twice his speed? :confused:

No, I was in the Landy's lane, the Skyline was to my rear-right in the outside lane. I pulled out of the Landy's lane infront of the Skyline just feet from the Landy.

It was scary :(

I once did 90mph in a 40mph and I've ran red lights. I know it's stupid but I don't do this as much now-a-days.

AS MUCH :eek:

Dont think I have ever run a red light, gone through on amber but never red, I know you have a few seconds to get through even on red but its not the point and its lazy driving.
 
You swerved in at 170MPH DreXel, yes, yes you did. :o

:confused:

When did I say 'swerved'? I said changed lanes within a few feet. I'm a bit past making things up on the internet to 'impress' some geeks I don't know from Adam :rolleyes:

I actually posted this when it originally happened too, not that I give a **** if you believe me or not :)

Still, if it's that important to you go over to Skyline owners club and PM 'Jedi Masta' (IIRC) and ask him for his side of the story.

I once did 150 on the motorway, come up to some road works so slowed down to the 30 limit (think it was 30) A min or so later looked in my mirror and see a police car with his blues on. :eek: Lucky he went on past, thought I was going to lose my licence.
 
I still do that...

Are you fourteen years old and five-up in a V6 Granada with a flintstones-style floor which you 'rescued' from a Scrappy, doing three figures down B-roads and trying to get it sideways?

I actually feel a bit sick when I think about that now...

Right, still wondering how you manage to swerve in abruptly no doubt with inches to spare at 170 when things happen stupidly quick and one flick of the wheel would of seen you off the road.

Go and read it again, I said I was feet away from the Landy, not inches. I never once said I 'swerved'. I merely changed lanes as late as I possibly could at that speed. Are you saying that any movement of the wheel atall at that speed woud result in intsadeath?

Your inexperience and lack of driving anything other than a mundane hatchback on the road is really showing with that comment.

And it's would have, not would of :)

Can't see it myself. :o

OK.

'geeks' Lol :o

Yes. Me included.

I drove at an average of 100 from newcastle (NI) towards belfast hitting close to 125 chasing a 2 other cars, in the rain. They went threw a 30 zone at the same speed, luckily I had slowed not trusting myself at a roadworks before this 30 zone, as the lights had turned red and im pretty sure it would have been a major accident. Driving at 60 - 70 again after driving at that speed seemed so slow. It was extremly stupid but still was the most adrenline filled drive i've ever had.
 
Many things...

Writing off a 15k car when trying to impress my mate is one of the worst.

Receiving "pleasures" from the lady friend whilst driving quickly down country roads is definately up their with the most stupid, but it got us both going :p

When I first got the Astra I discovered it had a stopclock in it...now to me at 17 that just screamed - 0-60 runs...so with 2 mates in the car we were doing some runs and when I hit 60 I looked at the clock, saw the time, smiled...casually looked back up to see me fast approaching a bollard, quick swerve and I missed it...2 seconds later and that could have been nasty :(

I've driven like a tool, but I'm starting to grow out of it now. Fortunately for me and other road drivers :)

Hmmm no I think you win for being crazy there. When I was in my early teens I was often a passenger in my friends mums car that he used to take in the middle of the night and go around B roads. This car being a faded red(pink) VW polo 1.0. Needless to say the 1.7 diesel astra she had afterwards felt like a flying machine compared to it.
 
How come all the replies are all based on road behaviour? What about "paperwork irregularities"?

All shorten my answer by saying one of everything (probably) :)
