I'd say he was a God. Marks to him - there are speed cameras down that road as well.... :-)

We would have all done the same.

When we know more details about it, I'll pass judgment as to if he's a hero or a villain.

Right now, all we know is that a 911 was stopped for doing 176mph, which, in my book, on a public road, is asking for it.

If, for example, his wife was going into labour, the coppers need a slap for not escorting him (if they could go fast enough).

However, right now, my money is on the side that he's a nutter. I mean, how many corners did he cut on that country road traveling at 176mph. Not that many country roads are straight for long. What about if a biker had been coming the other way when he cut a given corner?

But still, we know nothing, so I'll wait until we do :)

Nutter - he took the Porsche without permission, has now lost his job and is looking at a prison sentence and driving ban.

furrybean 30-01-07 04:58 PM

Yeah but with speedo inaccuracies and speed camera tolerances he might get away with it :lol:

Baph 30-01-07 05:11 PM

Having thought about it some more... maybe he was testing the theory that if you can drive at 180mph you can travel backwards through time.


Oh, wait, that's not right :oops:

(supposedly around 160-170mph you can outrun normal speed cameras though, just not lasers)

I wonder if he'll try and get a job as a traffic cop :wink:

Even if his other half was giving birth, (she would have surely given birth to something at that speed anyway) its even worse I think. One thing to toast yourself, toasting others is just way out of order.

On the face of it, he's a thief as well as a reckless driver, but who knows what lies beneath the story?

Dicky Ticker 30-01-07 05:36 PM

Bearing in mind he took it without permission the speed cameras are irrelevant as the owner would not have known who was driving and the A420 has some nice dual-carriageway straights. Stopped by a road block 4 miles further on,even at 120mph that is two minutes later At least he has got himself in the record books as the fastest JOYRIDER :lol: :lol:
