The News of the World really did their research there

Still, fucking awesome job
Yknow if omegas are escorting a high security passenger, theyre ordered not to stop, so if you dont get out of the way, they ram you off the road.
Scary shit

I doubt they went off to Maccy Deeeee's afterwards for a burnout unlike the usual driving vids you see.

I imagine that would be if you were trying to stop them. Not if you're trundling along at 60mph on the M6, they'd probably just overtake rather than ram you off

No, standard. I miss hooning. I've always had too much respect for the GSi as its older.

Yeah i meant like impeeding them. If they deem you a threat, they ram you.
Ive heard of a case of an old woman pulling out of a junction, being scared of the blues coming towards her, stopped and panicked, and they rammed her off the road.
Horrible stuff.

Don't think so, and you need to find first as well.

"A Reverse Flick is one of the most difficult driving skills to master because a driver can easily break the traction of the front wheels. "
But the car they were showing was a 3.2 Omega which is RWD.

Is the whining caused by a transfer system that converts the rotation of the engine to push the car backwards?
