this was the best joyride story ive ever heard!
this took BIG balls to pull off from start to finish and i bet the buzz he had was immense!
could you imagine it? seeing the car, thinkin fck it ill find a shop selling ex police clothes, walking in saying im here to pick up the cosworth. the service desk trainee hands him the keys, then smoking out of the dealership sideways then thinking lets see what this badboy can do!
somewhere along the way this car would have had to be refuelled because a tank of fuel aint gonna last 5 hours in a cossie! therefore you would have had to smoke the rozzers and bought you enough time to refuel! just imagine the adrenilin rush whhhoooooooo!!!
i mean its stories like this make movies.
i dont condone stealing, joyriding or burning out cossies but foooooooooook this guys a legend!!!!!!!!!! and couldnt have picked a better car to do it in!
Not quite true... he used 'tools of the trade' - i.e. he robbed it from the forecourt, wearing a bally all the time.
Everyone in Ordsall knew who it was, my mate has got the camcorder of it screwing up and down Phoebe St!
