that was just stupid i know at that speed they couldnt react fast enough normal roads are not built for that speed

I can honestly say ive never drove at anything like that and i dont believe i ever would
Most i ever do which is still breaking the law is 20% more than you should and thats anywhere. No need for that speed in any walk of life in a motor vehicle bar on a track designed for such speeds.

Yes speeding is against the law but no one would say anything if it was on a busy unrestricted road in germany. We've all done it, its just that these guys were stupid enough to post it on youtube.

Oh its in a scooby designed for these kind of speeds not a corsa driving flat out.

i have had a sti and a evo before and i never did 160mph in it, i loved the cars so much i would never have thrashed it like these idiots do

i bet is a 2k old scooby and the guy has bought it just to act a total idiot in tbh

that kind of speed/driving is for the pod i think

I'm not saying they are right to do it, just that alot of people do and yes it really should be kept to the track. I know I'd only drive a vehicle that quick if i knew it was a safe vehicle to do it in. Which is why i've done 180 in a previous car and more than that on a bike but both felt very safe, i've never driven my 4wd much over a 100 due to it not feeling as planted on the road and yes it was all on private roads blah blah

Scooby, whaddya expect, and in the wet as well, tut tut.

Donegal test strip, manys a boy from here use it because the Garda can't catch you, or do anything when they do.

**mushy2007** · 14th January 2009, 22:38

That video reminds me of a test drive we went on a few years ago and the guy selling the car took us on the motorway and hit flat out in a scooby, that speed is stupid and frightening on public roads.

He soon slowed to normal speeds when I told him to drive back and drop me off before I break his ****in arms! ****

Its not clever and should be deleted from youtube.

Took ages to get there

Thought they were supposed to be quick.
Don't know how the police will catch them with just that video though. No chance.
Driver would probably get 2 months inside if they do get him though.
