Not only that but he is doing it through a series of caution signs before the fast lane off ramp
Another guy has just been tracked down by the sun newspaper, for doing the exact same thing, and prosecuted. With a bit od luck this guy will face the same fate.

Another fine example of why many people think Impreza owners are *****, but then the same could be leveled at many different marques, there are stupid drivers everywhere.

If you want to drive at silly speeds then please do it on a track, and not on the public road where you could injure yourself and passenger(s), but more importantly, risk the lives of other innocent drivers on the road. Yes you could drive at that speed on an unrestricted autobahn, and, yes I have done so (though the poor ol wagon wouldn't go that quick anyway ), but it was at a time when there was extremely light traffic, and I don't think myself big, hard, or clever for doing so.

If I had been doing it in the UK, I'd certainly not post up a video of it, there's always a chance someone could find out who you are and Mr Plod could wait for you to attempt your ultra-hard, "I'm-the-man" type feat again, and then nick you for it.

Have another look at the video and see if you can spot reasons, other than the speed per se, that might account for people's reactions

Besides, it's not the speed that I find offensive.

a VX220 Owner is probably being prosecuted through a simular type posting on You tube

The speed is displayed in kph. Notwithstanding the fact that he may have had it converted thats a lot slower than 160 mph. Ra's are geared to do 20 mph/1000 rpm in top.

Definately something Amiss with that speedo, When he pulls the Camera back after saying nearly there mate & you get a view of a tranny van & the hedgerows, It's all passing far to slowly & there's no way he would slow down from 160 to 60 ish that quick..

160kph equates to just over 100mph.

No way that was doing 160 mph. Got there too quickly and slowed down too quickly. Also doubt it would be easy to do those speeds on dual carriageway with those bends, traffic and roundabouts. Was in a friends Jag XJS many years ago (obviously in Germany!) doing 155 and it scared the **** outta me. The scenery hit time warp and it took some braking to get it down to 70mph. Unless this was Andy Forrests car me thinks there is something fishy!
