In my day job I'm often tasked with tracking down net based "offenders", and I work on roughly a 70% success rate with just civilian
powers so for the police if they want you it's a piece of cake!!

got a mate waiting for a kidney transplant, must call him and tell him his chances have improved!
As before keep it on the track, clip a kurb and it can go horribly horribly wrong very very quickly

Playing Devils wotsit for a moment...
The first one clearly knows the road well as he slows down for the crossroads well in advance and the 2 villages. In fact he went through a damn sight
slower than most of the numpties who drive through my village in their people carriers half asleep. All his overtakes seemed well judged too. Bearing
in mind its a BEC, how much of that was he ACTUALLY going over 80 odd? He wasn't even in 6th for most of it? Who here can honestly say they
don't go over the NSL on an A road they know well and the road is clear? Come on?
That said, if you play the game don't complain if you get caught 
Haven't watched the second one yet.

Whilst the first vid, the blue car, does one or two silly things, if you watch it with the sound off, it's not all that bad. He generally has
good sight lines, slows down for junctions and his overtakes are on nice straight bits of road. I take it you lot have never seen bikers out on the
roads? They would make that run look like Driving Miss Daisy.
Edited to say that BECs always seem/sound like they are going much faster than they actually are. I have had old folks waving their arms at me when I
was only doing 20 mph though a village! And I was in 3rd at the time.

So is the second
That was Steve's car but not driven by him. It's the chap he sold the car to, a few weeks or so after he bought it from him. I think
it's been sold again now though it was on EBay recently.

Whats the the matter with you all!
the reason we build these cars is to hoon about, and if they are set up right are a lot more safe and predictable at speed.
The examples given dont look that fast to me...you drive twice as fast on a trackday...
The nanny state have brainwashed you all...
Get a grip!

Is it? I built it for the challenge.

Yep, if

Than what?

That's your personal view not everyones, see above. Plus it never does seem to look fast watching it. Take Top Gears test track for instance.

That's probably because it's on a track and not a road

Really? Do you think we need to?

I think you're in a minority (of 1) of whether that driving in the 2nd vid is acceptable on the roads tbh. Instant ban if that went before any
court i recon, instant death maybe if one of the undertaken cars had pulled in on the driver!! Not really a subject to be joked about on a public
forum really tbh.
[Edited on 5/4/09 by Paul TigerB6]
As i said i'm just stirring it
Just calm down
i like driving fast, thats why we enthuisiasts build and drive these cars.
we can drive briskly on public roads (compared to the average wife, OAP etc)
in complete safety IMOP.
please don't have the opinion that i drive like a nutter, but an open piece of road with good overtaking oppertunities, there is no reason not
to.
As i said previous, the nanny state is conditioning us to think that we cannot drive briskly and overtake which i observe everyday and is very
frustrating.
We are loosing the art of driving and enjoying ourselves.

If you want to make a point about the nanny state trying to brainwash us about speed etc (which i know exactly what you would mean) then start a
thread - dont start associating it with driving of the sort in the video. Dont forget this is a PUBLIC forum and can be read by anyone - not just
members. Defending driving like in that video isnt going to make all of us look very good.
yes, yes and yes
i agree you can't do anything anymore...u have to be accountable for everything...
its bloody depressing.
Just send me me to a home....

There's a time and a place.......
I may have, on occasion, made progress in an enthusiastic manner. The time was right. The place is in my head, on the right roads. Not on youtube!!
(although there are a couple of clips of me in my car on youtube but they are pretty poor!!)

I like impressing people in my car but not quite to that extent!! I enjoy testing the limits on a track were there is run-off, i watched the first
video and just kept thinking wht if there was a horse and rider around the next corner, a pheasant flew out! OUCH
In the second vid this made me laugh:
"incriminating evidence"

According to my booze-addled head, and the dubious use of 192.com, the second clip could be accountable by two perps. A blokey from 29 Ivydale Road,
Bognor Regis, or, 5 Sparrow Way, Burgess Hill!!!
Not the driver but still................

The first half of the first vid is amazing...
The road that is... Anyone know where it is?
Hardly any cars about.
