I was on m23 yesterday when a maroon sierra cosworth completely stadard looking bar stainless exhaust came screaming past me 130+ followed by an unmarked T5 with the lights going, i assume it was nicked shame to see a cossie get thrashed and properly inevitably damaged by the end of the chase

 

 

 

I better go check my garage make sure its still there

 

why is it a shame to see a car capable of doing 150mph doing less than that?

i can see your point, but would you be annoyed if you saw, say for instance, myself doing 130mph, would you go "ooo thats been thrashed, thats not nice"

 

 

Personally when i see a fast car being thrashed to fuck, i think "Good lad ".

Shame that it has probably been knicked though .

 

It may not be stolen just could of been out for a thrash and busted by the under covers...

He may have thought he was going to get away

 

Beach - you raise a good point


why does everyone seems to think that because a cossie is driven at over 100mph that it is stolen?

 

when my old saff was stolen it lost 3 police cars down our local bypass

they reconed it was doing about 140mph

it was found half an hour later at a picnic site

 

:if its niked

if it wasnt hope he evaded em(

 

If, for instance i decided to go out and thrape my cossie down the M1, i would have some degree of mechanical sympathy ie; keep it off the limiter, use the clutch to change gear etc, its sad to think of the potential abuse its gonna get because the tealeaf driving a stolen one doesnt care, he just wants to go fast.

 

 

lol did they find it a bit too quick for them then


glad you got it back though.

 

How did you get home from the picnic site then?

 

is the M23 in the birmingham area? that would explain a lot

if it wasnt nicked then in the words of the great rudey "gawaaaaaaaaaaarn ya foooker "

 

M23 is in the Gatwick Airport area

 

might have got a last min deal and was late for check in then,,,,, would explain why he aint stopping for the old bill

 

was it an f-plate one??

 

i didnt clock the plate im afraid.

I didnt mean that i hated every cossie being thrashed but if its not his car then that is what annoys me. If its his then fair play but it wernt gonna out run a t5 easily it looked pretty bog standard tbh bar exhaust although i know from experience standard exterior dont mean standard intenals.I made the same run again this morning and 2 junctions before i saw the incident yesterday the same T5 cop car was sat in a slip road9 cant gaurantee if it was exact same car) so i guess that the cossie prob wernt stolen and someone was out having fun.

 

i was with a friend of mine giving his 3dr alittle love down the M3 when we got busted by an unmarked motor just outside of fleet and he said we were averaging 117 mph and at one point doing 145 he said i was interested in buying the car and wanted to make sure it was running ok cant remember what he got though.......

 

T5's are not that fast anyway, me and a mate were having a play ( late at night, empty dual carridgeway) I was in my wanky renault 19 16V, he was in his 280BHP rear drive sapphire, and unfortuantly a T5 saw us as we came across a roundabout very quickly ( again, safe as you can see through it so no chance of clattering a civillian ), as I was obviously behind, and already had 11 points, I pulled over and put my hazards on as the coppers came round the island, hoping that if I pleaded with them they would let me off with a bollocking, but they just fooking shot past after my mate , so of course I did one sharpish, rang my mate to tell him they were after him, but he was already long gone Cossie 1 Piggys 0

But I would never run from the law, oh no, its really really naughty and makes them cross fun though

 

I've always wonderd would i get away from the police If it wasnt stolen then i hope he got away

 

T5s arnt fast GUNSHIPS WITH THEM IN THE BOOT AS WELL
