my mate lost control of his cossie at 140 today on his way home from work!
he came off the road and hit a lamp post at around 70 and just missed a oak tree,luckily he is ok and only suffered hurt pride.
he was racing a m3 on a long peace of duel carriageway when someone pulled in to the fast lane doing around 60!!!
as you can imagine the car is a mess and he is very lucky to have walked away.
may post some pics later this week to show you guys the state of his car.

made me think!!!

 

any chance that he went to bournemouth and owns a red one?

 

Serves him bloody right the irresponsible tw*t

Chip.

 

no,white 4x4 in durham

 

Shame about the tree...
Tell your mate he is a idiot.

 

WHAT A ***** !!!!!

 

im not telling him,he is a 19stone bodybuilder!!!

 

 

Lucky to have walked away, maybe.

More lucky not to have killed someone else!!

 

Fancy pulling out in to the fast lane at 60! How silly

As for doing twice the speed limit

 

19 stone body builder.....hmm.....Ah well that makes an even BIGGER ***** than what i thought

 

Jonny, the guys on here are abit straight, you may have noticed

Sorry to hear about your m8, all part of driving fast though, and t.b.h, unless the road is totally deserted then 140 mph is alittle too fast...as he found out... heghe

Rich

 

It's better to be straight than so twisted you drive at 140MPH aproaching trafic. Very stupid.

 

Never like to hear of anyone stuffin up but 140 tut tut

 

ps duel carriage way may be appropriate but it's dual

 

he wont do it again in a hurry thats for sure,hope it slows him down,it will for now (he will be using his lasses 1.0 nova!!!)

 

**** happens, who on here ain't hit them figures?

 

Ease off lads! Fair enough he didn't read the traffic ahead very well which was pretty stupid but I doubt there is anyone here that hasn't seen these speeds before. Hell, I've even seen 140 in the VTS on the motorway (possible tailwind to get the last few mph!)

 

stupid ****
however we have all caned our cars
i have had a near death experience - so who am i to be a condesending ****.
the experience will hopefully make him a safer driver
glad he is still alive and his famly are not crying
but many of us have pushed it.
Best wishes
Steve

 

Give him a 'brake'

 

As my mom says 'if your going to do something do it properly'

This applys to speeding&racing&crashing as well

 

Saxo vts 140..... Would that be k/m/h ?????

 

HI only 140 no wonder cossie drivers are buying scoobs had mine past 160 off speedo today

 

sad

 

why, sad if you dont want to go fast why buy a performance car

 

Are you sure it was a cossie? I didn't know cossie can handle 100 mph without falling apart, let alone 140.

 

Sorry mate, but 140 on a public road is really stupid.

What if someone had been by the side of the road and stepped out? Or a car pulled out? Or a pushbike? Or.........
You said dual carriageway, not motorway!!

Too many variables to make it safe, no matter what the drivers ability is.


Oh and even if he is a "19 stone bodybuilder" tell him to come round my place and I will tell him how stupid/ irresponsible he is.


And before the flames, yes I do drive too fast, and yes I do drive a scoob...... but there is a time and place for stupid speeds.

 

I spose you should give him credit for not running into the guy in front and yeah that guy could / should have paid more attention but 140MPH, c'mon, that's just taking the P a little.

I'm all for making progress etc and yes I have wound my car out as fast as it'll go, after midnight on a desserted dual carriageway. There's a time and place.

Bob

PS, hope he's ok and gets paid out

 

Well, I think that the 70mph limit should be lowered

I would never be seen driving at over 56mph

Pete

 

56 is too high how about 32 mph?
