Well I will never be able to race an F1 car or a Ferrari so what this guy is doing in his wonderful Saab is how I make myself happy and get the F1 feeling flow through me. Mind you I currently have a 1999 Saab 93 Viggen which can quite easily mimic what you will see here. And with me behnd the wheel having done it before back home in Europe....... I better not say more as I can get myself into some very serious trouble.

F1's arent drag cars if you just care about top speeds go watch drag racing!!
Putting the foot down on a highway doesnt make you a skilled driver, just a w***er who boasts about it!

theres a saying straights are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers!

Cough, cough. Bud I will just ignore the last comment about the corners. I am European. Plenty of corners and curves where I come from. And believe me I drive fast around them too. :D But personally I like getting thrown back on my seat. High speeds are perfect for that. And no not any "w***er" can do it as believe me reaching 200 km/h plus is one thing, holding it there for a long time is another. By the way, woman cannot "wank" so if you did refer that to me because of the way I like to drive then perhaps you should use a different word. Thankyou.

High speeds dont throw you back in the seat, you have flown no doubt? did you get thrown back in your seat in the plane? you would have been travelling around the 800- 1000Kmph mark. What throws you back in your seat is the rate of acceleration.

and by the way dont take the meaning of w***er literally ;) but most people who boast about their driving are in affect really shitty drivers.

Well you don't take it literally either and understand that English isn't my first language so please understand that sometime I use the wrong words to describe what I am trying to say therefore conveying the wrong meaning. Anyway I love driving fast. If I crash it is my fault and I will get hurt or killed. End of the day I am not the only person from Europe that does it or in the world for that matter. The clip you got wasn't me (obviously I am not that dumb to film myself do it and place it on the net) so there you go, others do it as well.

that attitude of ill kill myself and not others is bullpoo! What if you crash and hit a padestrian? or another car? a road is an environment where there are so many factors to dial in when travelling at speed! on the track its a different matter you only need worry about the cars youre racing against and the track condition.

Im telling you this from experiance. I do all my speeding on the track now. no more boosting on the roads! its just not worth it for you or some poor innocent by stander!

Most car website's here in the US do not allow any sort of reference toward's any form of street racing. There are legal ramification's.

Well on a motorway there really isn't any pedestrians. I am reluctant to do it in Australia anyway as people can't drive. They don't know what is meant by the overtaking lane on a motorway. Just so frustrating I guess. I reserve this driving for when in Europe only. I go back once a year anyway. The fact people understand what is meant by the overtaking lane over there makes the concept of driving fast on a motorway almost safe. The Germans are a fine example of this.

Aye, that's right, just tar all the Aussies one with one brush. They all can't drive. I suppose as a Paddy I'm alcoholic.

You're driving is a disgrace. You should be completely ashamed of yourself. No consideration for other road users, pedestrians, property or you own life. The devil looks after his own, as always, so I've no doubts you'll kill or ruin somebody else's life and get off scott free.

It's high time you were banned.

I will kindly and respectfully ask that both of you just chill out please? AKR find a common ground that you can agree on with the other member's of the forum, your getting very very tiresome with all of your argumentative post :wink: . I for one would truelly enjoy reading something positive, non-judgemental and non-argumentative from you, I'm not alone either.

Play nice or leave the playground and take a 'timeout' then come back when your willing to play nice with the other member's.

McLaren Fan, what is a Paddy? Sorry for my ignorance on this but the English to Italian dictionary gives me this translation.

paddy (anger) nf collera
paddy (rice field) nf risaia
paddy (rice paddy) nm campo di riso

You were clearly not referring to any of these so I do not understand "you being a Patty" what that mean?
