I hate the anticipation of it happening!

The road looks bumpy just from the passenger holding the cellphone.

Want to vmax your car then take it to an event for doing so or airfield.

But in my car, an airfield isn't big enough to reach VMAX, and VMAX feels quite safe on the motorway. No idea why.

So they like to try and kill the driver if something goes wrong? I know the driver is at fault but still surprised they haven't sorted these issues

What issue? A red hot engine an exhaust that has suddenly stopped and probably touching other pipes. No doubt fuel pipes broke too with that massive impact

Well 82mph is a fairly normal sort of motorway speed

Definitely this, I doubt there was much left other than the passenger compartment when it stopped hitting things, coupled with (I think) large fuel tanks on these. (90L I believe)

Lucky lucky lucky, stupid, but lucky

Nope, public road.

I was in Germany with ClubPolo.
A convoy of Slowlo's on the Autobahn...
We must have been so annoying.

You people are the problem :mad:

Got a great tunnel exhaust noises video this weekend, want to post here but am resisting and will save for the new car thread :cool:

The driver and his girlfriend are ok.

dacads · 22 Jan 2015 at 17:30

another muppet going too fast

mrk · 22 Jan 2015 at 18:43

Wow, well held together given traffic on both side lanes :eek:

Conscript · 22 Jan 2015 at 19:34

Yeah, to be honest I thought he handled that pretty well :eek:

dacads · 22 Jan 2015 at 20:00

Still no reason or excuse to be driving that fast! He can count himself lucky, these videos show why motorways are no place to be going crazy speeds.

Cosimo · 23 Jan 2015 at 11:33

Time to reminisce..

No different to going to an autobahn and driving fast. The first time I went on the autobahn I wasn't as experienced as I am now, yet I was "cruising" at 110+ mph, yet other cars were flying by at at least 150mph in much closer proximity and with much more traffic than in the video posted above.

Sure, you shouldn't really do it on a public road, but at the same time, the person chose a quiet time of the day to do it. Lambasting them for that seems a little bit pointless.
