He didn't get far... Numpty.....

Yeah saw that. The CCTV also 'spotted' the third copper on scene smashing his truncheon thing on the bonnet of the car, presumeably to scare the thief into getting out. Wonder if he got done for criminal damage?

An old firend of mine (Well he used to drink in the pub i worked in) had a very sorted scooby. 0-60 in UNDER 3 secs 0-100 in around 6, went on to about 150mph! Had 1st had experience of it as well. Lots and lots of money, and looked pretty much std as well. As for a Zonda, hmmm, Exotica, still have a lambo or a GT3 please, or a Veyron

Could have been, as the Zonda appeared to have a large number on the front bonnet (possibly a 20 but difficult to tell with vibrating mirrors and Mrs's elbows in the way!)
