Land Rover Discovery 1997 3.9 V8 in lotus racing colours! (for towing my boat)
BMW M5 2005 V10 in light blue (everyday car)

Not at all, he didn't get close enough for it to be a race.lol
Just in case anyone cares, my kids are speed freaks & I've been assessed by an RAC driver trainer from a previous job as a response driver.
Still not an excuse but, rules are made to be broken right? |

you're entitled to your opinion & yes, it may be irresponsible but, the car is properly maintained, uprated brakes & suspension as per police spec & the road was quiet. I'm not a loon who goes wheelspinning round the town centre trying to impress.

As an every day car I like my current car. I'd have one with leather seats and in a different colour though, if I had the choice. Oh, and with a sunroof. It has climate control but I miss having a sunroof. |

And you were never told that it does not matter how capable a driver you are, you need to drive in a way that will give you time to react to the most incompetent d*unk on the road? Or that no matter how well maintained your vehicle is, at high speeds a front blow-out caused by unseen sharp objects on a carriageway is lightly to cause a serious or fatal accident?
Think either you were had or have never had a single advanced driving lesson.

To add to my wish list, please can I have a Harrier Jump Jet - its not a car - but they are on the 2nd hand market, and everyone would get out of my way in rush hour ... Also vertical landing means I can park anywhere, though the tarmac would melt... |

I think I would want a transit van, also a hilux pickup (not the top gear one!) and for those days when you just need to pop out for a pint of milk then something smaller would be appropriate, that would be the Aventador, there is just something sexy about Lamborghini design. |

Hmmm, been had? Unlikely as i have the certificates. Im well aware of the effects of blowouts, mechanical failure etc as Im a mechanic by trade hence my car is checked regularly in quiet time.
Im amazed at the response my post has had to be honest, seeing as I've mentioned nothing about the speeds involved, time of day etc.
If only I lived my life like you guys eh? |

Where to start.
Mecedes S class (top of the range, turbo diesel).
Audi A8 (top of the range, turbo diesel)
Vauxhall insignia (like a 2.0L, diesel, everyday run-around car)
Dodge Charger/Challenger (late 60's/early 70's)
Ford Capri (2.8i, late 80's)
Ford Cortina mkiii (from life on mars tv show)
Probably a few more.
Maybe add to list later. |

"
What other cars/trucks? Were you there?
Thats the trouble with forums, too many people eager to put people down when in reality they don't know enough about the subject.
As I said earlier, I said nothing in regards to speed, people have chosen to assume high mph. Drink drivers were mentioned, tyre failure was mentioned & now we have "average drivers panicking".
Say what you will but, fact is, I'm still here, my kids are still here & the car is unmarked. Not to mention any other motorists on that short piece of tarmac at that time went unharmed.
I think enough has been said. |
