did he crash ... no!!!!!! /.. So who cares... THere are alot of drivers who stick to the speed limit and are CRAP drivers with next to no skill and they kill people 2 prob more than the dicks that sit on the double ton . AS long as its in decent open road.. and the only people at risk is the driver go for it..its a hell rush watching that needle sit on the dash and the cars still pulling. There aint much we can get away with any more where controled in every thing we do as it is now.. i say stuff em.... wind it out

my BA xr6 was limited to 200, not sure about the BF. all you need is a tune though to disable the limiter.. so it could have been anything.

Just heard on the radio then that another teenager, an 18 y.o this time, was busted in Morwell. They didn't say anything about what car they were driving but they were picked up doing 167kph in an 80 zone.

That mite go for quite a few of the youngsters around here, but there are some of us that have been driving since way berfore we got our licence and unlike the lucky ones, we fund everything we do to our car off our own backs. I was working my butt off from the age of 14 and 9 months, saving flat out to afford my car and what iv done to it. I dont think you respect something as much when it doesnt come out of your own pocket. Its true that there are alot of underskilled drivers in overpowered vehicles........Thats what scares me.... THe worst part is.. i know some of them.

There is nothing wrong with getting credit to pay for your car and just because you do doesn't mean you don't respect it as much. As long as you are the one paying it off.

I don't think the kid should be finded or have any points taken off him.
I do think he needs his knee caps smashed with a sledge hammer. I would do it myself. WTF was he thinking, life is not a PS2 game.

There is as many P platers on the road that drive like grannies as there are hoons. And to all those old people that dont have the co-ordination left to drive the speed limit in perfect weather, get off the f*****g road!
