Yes indeed 
Nice rolling shots. That gold BMW looks so gaudy.
How long did you follow them?

Probably for about 150 miles. It was nuts! Just trying to keep up with these guys was insane... Most of them all had police scanners so whenever they would slow down so did I, and we would end up passing up cops miles ahead. Probably took about an hour 30 min to make it home from the start. Sad to see that gold bugatti impounded...
If you guys want more here's all the video's. Don't mind me and buddy we truly had no idea what we were talking about when it came to ferrari's LOL.

Oh man 
That's him #49. This pic is wrong in so many ways!
But, it looks like he got his car back. He was in Dallas this afternoon, in
time for the stop at the W hotel. Here's a pic tranman329 took today,
He's still in the running ...

M5 Junky found one of your videos and posted it on M5board and I when I saw your name I mentioned that there was an E60.net member with that same name and figured it was you. hahaha
Man, looking at those pictures is making me want to go put that Puma stripe down the side of my car.
This looks HOT!!

According to this article: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...l.2126c2d6.html
It was a Sheik that got caught in his Veyron going 170mph. Not Brett.
