Reminds me of the evo - as they had no hazards on and were blatently testing out their new car.

Or it'll be the opposite and they'll make an example of him.

Didn't a Paramedic get done for speeding whilst delivering an organ for an Emergency transplant??

Yes marc

Ecotek Valve
The CB-26P, pictured left, is a maintenance free mechanical device that can be universally fitted to almost all petrol engines.

It works by creating turbulence in the inlet manifold thus improving the combustion process; this means that it reduces emissions, improves fuel consumption and maximises engine performance.

Personally I'd rather find out how a car feels at 150+MPH when your not chasing someone and on a quiet bit of road, than when trying to chase a car on the motorway

He probably didn't even have his lights flashing though hence he got caught... Un marked cars must have hazards / flashing lights when over speed limit.

I dont see the problem speeding on motorways, I use the motorway every day and often sit at 120 / 130....sometimes more if its quiet

So if a member of the pubic gets a new car should they be allowed do 159mph to 'familiarise' themselves with the car?
