Isle of Man I'm guessing otherwise those two leather clad blue oyster bar refugees would have had him down in their dungeon quicker than you can say 'chase me I'm a polis-man'

Tidgy

The driver of the RS4 looks to be a smooth safe driver even though he's giving it some. Nice one.

Tidgy

yeah, he gives it even more running from the other bike

Is there no speed limit in the Isle of Man then?

Infractfree

In certain areas it's derestricted ie outside town.

Wow. I never knew that. I would have thought the coppers would have taken some offence to being overtaken at 100mph+ wether its legal or not.

The bike cops weren't going very quick anyway. It looks to me they were just cruising along. Look at the speed of the car when it passed each of the bikes. The first bike couldn't have been doing much more than 80mph, the second was barely reaching 100. Also bear in mind that those police bikes are big heavy and slow compared to a litre class sports bike.
Even so, it was definitely a cool video.

I would have to agree - very impressive.

The Chief

A good example of swift fast and safe performance driving/riding by both parties.

That copper couldn't half chuck that big Honda ST around

Leslie

I enjoyed watching that-good driving and impressive acceleration too.

2 years ago on that exact same stretch of road (just after the goosneck) I followed a Police Mondeo ST220 (up to 120mph ish) in my STI5 Type R, at about 120mph the copper wound the window down, stuck his arm out, and casually waved me past.

The coppers over there are top blokes and are perfectly happy to let you have a bit of fun as long as you do it safely and don't take the pi$$, i.e. not driving dangerously, speeding in towns, burnouts, drink driving etc.

Makes me want a B5 RS4 now. Sounded nice.

Looked a good driver too.

Mint vid !

Ahh the mountain road on the I.O.M, What a fantadstic road, went on a track weekend a couple of years back and enjoyed the mountain road more than the track at Jurby. Will probably go again and maybe this year. Would go every year but the ferry is sooooo expensive (they have no competition).

Patt@firstime

Nice one

Eddie Slowfart

Those Audi RS4's are are serious weapon, I might lay off AL now after seeing that

-JUST-POOTLING-ALONG-

Watched first clip and thought its not that fast......F**k that. The 100mph+ progress on that second clip.That is a QUICK car

Had a play with a new rs4 saloon on my private runway, lets just say:

15 Year old Wagon 1 - 0 60k RS4 (He didn't like it either lol)



NB. Would still rather have the older 2.7tt avant one

It sounds ace, doesn't it? Thrilling noise.

YouTube - RS4 vs Bike

This clip is from the same car v bike, that is some quick driving! You can see the bike in the rear camera, the car certainly shifts!

Gymbal

He wasn't trying! (in the first one)
My drive to work every day, though not in an RS4. Middle of the day is best time to nail it!

Gymbal

The second one was more like it, but he certainly took some chances, blind corners, double whites.
Presumably non standard exhausts?
