I appreciate what you're saying 530ISPORT... BUT... The only thing that i thought was totally inexcusable was that he had a girl in the back seat whilst doing that speed. If she'd consented him to do that, then fair enough, but she was asleep, so he's put an innocent person's life at risk. But, no one was hurt, but i just don't think it's the sort of thing you do, and then brag about on a public forum...

+1 after wrighting what i wrote... i thought about it.. and for the girl being in the back it is lame.... but what a rush it must of been.....

Yeah i'll agree with it being a rush! I've had my M5 at 168mph on the HUD, but that was on a runway!

They certainly are an amazing piece of kit. Is it a 996 or 997 GT2 bro?

Here's an interesting one - http://greensboro.injuryboard.com/automobi...googleid=231086

He assured everyone he was a safe driver, so it must have been true, amirite?

But aside from that, google is your friend. There's a ton of stuff on high speed crashes, BMW or otherwise.

Crap like this only ever happens to other people... I mean, until it happens to you.


Thanks for your post.

jrbwmenthusiast, you are definitely a cop... or just a dick head. I am sorry, did I repeat myself?
WRONG!!! -- on both accounts, and the aburdity of your reasoning reveals exactly what and who you are. You're unworthy of the Roundel-- please return it, ASAP. Ha Ha Ha!!!
