Yeah saw that too - nice convoy of TVR's even if it's a bit on the stupid side hitting 130mph in a tunnel but each to their own!

missed that.

tbh me and a mate are currently checking vids we have posted that may possibly get us in trouble.

Are they incar vids or external showing number plates ?

I cant see how they could prosecute anyone for in car footage as anyone could be driving and it doesn't really show what car it is

im sure it was a series 1 though. it was thge middle clip after the tvrs, it showed the speedo pointing at 135mph and then he did a view out the windscreen and im sure it had an rsoc tax disk holder.

you could just see some of the bonnet as well and im sure it looked like a mk3 escort bonnet.

al thoughs fators added up must mean s1

jake to be fair the speed i usually do on that route i dont even have time to look at the speedo let alone the time,,, so i remember the song i start at when aproaching the tolls ( and thats usually a fair speed to be fair) and what track i hit by tottenham hale as then i gotta slow down cause the corners are a little tight when doing 60 let alone more

you CAN get prosecuted for vid footage.

cossiemad lost his licence because he was on a video that had been seized from another car showing him racing.

Surely the video evidence would have to be fairly incriminating?

Like it would have to include your face and/or number-plate etc? Probably also a positive ID of the location?

Most of us speed at some point, Now some people are stupid enough to make a video, Some go that extra mile and post it on the internet. Then there's the people who make Barry chuckle look clever and put there name and details on the video at the begining, And then end the video thanking such and such a person for fimling it.
