Default M5 Forum Rats on Maniac Driver Shock!

Possibly SIAL, but if you havent seen it, enjoy the 28 pages og good ol' American/Canadian bull.......

http://forums.5series.net/topic/9549...h-on-a-40-zone

Above from the M5 forum (Idont understand why a forum could exist just on the subject of a motorway)

And..........

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/sto...iction658.html

Above is the press reaction to it all. *There is the reason why you must never divulge your shenanigans online, someone will not like you/not like your attitude/not like your hair colour and speak to the authorities!




*Not that I condone the loser's on-road suicide mission.

You would have to be a fricking ninja to catch him. What a t0sspot he was, and what are the chances the punishment will change him?

Best bit is where he actually makes threats against a posters family - not knowing the poster was not a keyboard warrior - just a copper asking for witnesses

That's very sad...and crazy that some American parents allow 18 year old's to drive their 500bhp M5's..

There's living the American dream and just being plain stupid..

American? He's actually from Toronto, though the forum is yank based I believe. Regardless, he's a fecking ****, but then what do you expect, he's an over-priveledged little oik who thinks he's "the man" for driving like a moron. You want to drive like that, take it to the track.

He's got money so he'll be back driving soon I don't doubt.

I think it shows the money does not bring intelligence, as boasting about driving like a ******** on a forum isn't a wise idea.

Didn't they say he was killed along with his friends?

The driving test is simplicity itself too. Took less than 10 minutes when I did it.

The 1st guy was a Russian who got done for speeding and then bragging on the M5 forum about it... his parents "took back" the M5 they'd bought him... no crash involved here

The 2nd link (which I commented about) was the kid who took his old man's M5 out and killed himself and 4 of his mates a day after asking about violent upshifting in M mode. a lot of guys on there told him to stay safe... only to hear about his death later that week.

First link (Myles) was Russian-ish guy in Toronto, Canada, bragging about speeding on forum then getting banned and fined, second link (dave247) was a bunch of American kids, in Florida, all dying in a horrific crash after a burn-up on an airfield.

If you are talking about the M5 crash he hit the tree at 120MPH and that is after leaving 193ft skid mark on runway, 26ft skid mark on grass and then 166ft of being airborne. One rear passenger was found another 70ft beyond the impact

He certainly deserved all he got.

Thing is how come they can arrest him when they don't have proof, for all they know he could just be a troll?

It was probably down to his admitting it, if a judge backed him up it would have been thrown out id imagine.
