Good on ya.

I live in Tassie, and no I don't read mainland news papers and no I didn;t memorise that particular story.

Very worthwhile contribution to the original thread - not.

Oh, and : silly little head to you to.

The place where they would have been doing the speed has over 2kms of straight, visible distance.

What I've found is that you and another person on the freeway will be travelling along a bit over the limit but stay together to half the risk of being caught speeding. I think in this situation both the Falcon and the TT slowly increased their speed but were still cruising. Cops sitting on the side of the road see 2 cars speeding and assume they are racing.

Can't believe all the people on here defending these idiots...
I don't care how they came to be doing that speed (or that you have decided they gradually increased up to that speed - get a grip!) or where they are doing it... they are on a public road under the cover of darkness doing more than twice the speed limit! They were going to end up on the news no matter what and they should just be glad it was like this and not another horror smash story.

Who cares what they do in Germany? Road rules are tighter in Germany and the drivers learn and are experienced at those speeds. The road users here (the ones that would have been sharing the road with those two twits) aren't used to vehicles approaching at those speeds. One lane change by somebody else and it could have all gone wrong very easily.

I speed and probably a lot of people here speed but this is lunacy, and if you do these sorts of speeds on public roads you fall into the same twit category as these two.

Your time on these forums are coming to a quick end, all the issues about your mate stacking your merc and now this STUPID idiotic brainless fart of a post.

You wont ever realise your reality check I dare say but certainly hold in steed why one, with several missing chromosomes, shouldn't be allowed to drive
