I'm amased they don't seem to have bothered to remove the license plates from view

Some of it is quite cool but some of it is a fatal accident waiting to happen.

yes exactly, and the more they get away with it, the more they will do it because they are 'invincible'. I know they don't mean anyone any harm, i just hope that after killing someone or themselves, they hope it was worth it to get a few minutes of footage.

I'd be lying though if i said i didn't enjoy watching it

There is are a few major differences from this and getaway in stockholm,

1. Professional racing drivers were driving the cars in gis apparently
2. it was early hours in the morning
3. they didint have 1 near miss in ANY of the videos
4. they didnt pick a road with a high death toll

I for 1 am no angel and like a good bust up but there is a time and a place but that video just proves that there are people playing stig on the public roads and not giving a fuck about anyone elses lives. Which is dead wrong imo. Imagine how cool you would think he was pulling a death manouver near you or your loved one.

Majorly uncool imo appart from the gatso burning

Totally agree, getaway in stockholm was planned out and the 'element of danger' was alot less than this.

By picking a dangerous road to ride like this, they might aswell book their own funeral

Or somebody elses who was doing nothing wrong just driving from A to B Some of those near misses could so easily have been a fatal accident. As Alps said GIS was filmed on clear roads in the very early hours. Had this one been done in the same vain it could have been a good watch. As it is I spent half the video cringing waiting for the screech and a bang.

Cremation of the GATSO was cool though

The thing is if they had done it in the same circumstances as gis it would have been boring as sin as its just ameatur crap. The reason people think its exciting is cause of all the "fuck me how close was that" bits which like you say are potential fatalitys

Spot on there, Getaway in Stockholm is, or would appear to be super talented drivers driving in a different environment, yes it was still reckless but somehow a bit less dangerous and the chances to kill someone in a head on crash seemed reduced.
These vids look like lads trying too hard to impress and that ultimately will end badly.........

Maybe its me, but what they do isnt that impressive or exciting?

Its fucking mental yeah, but its not mega skillful, its just driving like a twoccer on the run from the cops with no worry about killing the people coming the other way etc.

GIS was more impressive, this is just hooning round like you could see on any Police Camera Action episode.
