Cool Ghostrider and the M Coupe - Mad skills all round

Clicky Vid Link

I've searched for 'Ghostrider' and found only a reference to this vid but no link to it so the SIAL police can STFU

Absolutely - I love the way that just as it looks like they're going to get held up in traffic, he flicks the siren on to clear a path! Nice!

I didn't understand the whole "What the driver doesn't know is that Ghostrider has gone undercover - he's in for the surprise of a lifetime" bit though - was he just expecting GR to be on a different bike or something?

probably was expecting him to have blues and twos on

loved the bit about 11 minutes in where GR lost sight of him when the green van cuts across. Suddenly the bike can rev about an extra 5000 rpm and he makes up the 5 second gap in about 3 seconds

I don't disagree at all. Its almost certainly set up. However its clearly not officially done - those other drivers are normal drivers going about their daily business and if you can drive an M Coupe like that through normal (unpredictable) traffic for 14 minutes with a mad-man on a bike up your chuff then I tip my hat to you sir

It's just entertainment and personally I found it excellent - the drifts were particularly impressive and controlled.

Warren,

I think everyone knows it's a set-up, hence the static camera shots and the siren. The makers are giving the audience a scenario rather then trying to trick them. The M Coupe is one of the most tail happy cars known to man.

Top video, top drivers. We all the bike is faster than the car

"loved the bit about 11 minutes in where GR lost sight of him when the green van cuts across. Suddenly the bike can rev about an extra 5000 rpm and he makes up the 5 second gap in about 3 seconds".

But its nice to see a video that is showing off driver skill. Two awesome drivers.

vid not bad,

a little tooooo illegal for my liking,
racing in public roads common, but having a fake siren to tell other drivers to move out of the way so they can race, what an ****.

If you liked that try and get hold of Getaway in Stockholm 2 - The one with the 400bhp plus modified Supra and Cossie.

There is a little icon which says send with an envelope next to it, you could probably send it to yourself and save the attachment.

First thing I did was look up the prices of M3 coupes.

Found a gem with 33k on it for under 15k if you can live with LHD. I really wanted one when EVO raved about them, I even like the quirky shape.

The f*cking things hold their value too well though! For a nice RHD version you're looking at around £21kville. Problem is you can start to pick up 2001-2002 M5s with ~60k miles for that money. 400bhp V8................how can you turn that down???

The M Roadster is cheaper but looks gash IMHO.

Tend to agree, but must admit they look a whole lot better sideways

Loopy. Can't help but feel someone's going to be involved in a big smash sooner or later.
