need for speed: europe
120mph speeder here in my Toyota Camry 4banger :c00lbert: I just wanted to see what my car maxed at, he was probably doing the same thing!
[i]Only[/i] 180 MPH?
he later told a swedish newspaper that he wanted to go 360kph (223 mph) since that was the max speed of the car
[QUOTE=nikomo;24017653]Fucking 300kph, jesus fuck.. I guess he must have missed the sign that says "autobahn stops here, switzerland starts here".[/QUOTE] Must have been going too fast to see it.
[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;24016908]His car was wearing a speedo? :v: [img_thumb]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/146/speedocar.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I think it means speedometer.
wow what an idiot why would he drive through areas with cameras?
[QUOTE=PelPix123;24018008]I wonder if I could argue in court that I was standing still and the world under me was speeding in the opposite direction at 180mph and charge the entire world with speeding.[/QUOTE] If you can get a jury full of scientists believing in that theory, you just might win. But you'll have to tell them how you developed the FTL drive.
[QUOTE=JDK721;24018648]holy shit I can't imagine driving that fast. the fastest I've gone is like 60-65mph, and I didn't exactly feel comfortable.[/QUOTE] I usually drive 105 - 110 mph (170-180 kmh) when there's no limit, 65 mph (104kmh) is ultra slow...
This is just sad, not even the radar gun could detect how fast he was going.
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;24022846]You said you've only gone 65 at the highest, do you guys not have 70+ highways in Florida?[/QUOTE] fastest down here in south florida is 75 mph
Atleast he can now brag about having the largest speeding fine ever. v:v:v
He didnt kill anyone. He should be banned from driving for 2 months, not this shit.
[quote]"I think the speedo on the car, which is new, is faulty."[/quote] Brilliant. I wonder if something like that would ever work in court for a minor speeding ticket. Doubt they would spend the money testing it.
At least go to Germany for that... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTlhUhZB3jg[/media]
I'd blow up that ticket and frame it on the wall. I remember in Top Gear they mentioned a ticket that clocked in at 205mph with the car description of "Bugatti two-door" (Bugatti Veyron of course).
