Maybe its time for the manufacturers to restrict the cars to the speed limit.
Dude, ten years from now, a VW Polo will probably push over 200kw of power![]()
Lol I wish![]()
surely the guys doing 140 in a 60 zone get hammered worse ??
thats more than double the speed limit, you weren't doing double ??
Imagine if you were drunk as well... Shame dude, hope all is good now..
I must admit I really enjoy speeding and the adrenalin rush you get from it. It's been almost 2 years since I have stopped speeding on the road and keep it STRICTLY for the track on Track Days. Bought myself a go-kart to get that 'rush' somewhere else, and not on public roads where innocent road users are.
There was a stage where a group of us used to try clock the highest speeds on our Garmins down Marlboro dip on N1. I clocked 262 and a mate 276. And for some pathetic reason, we thought it was 'cool'. Those days are over thank the lord![]()

Time to 200?
In 10 years time: "VW Polo? What the hell's that?"
Shouls be around ~11-12
EDIT: so you dont think there will be a Polo then ?
Good to hear you apologise and hopefully you really have learned your lesson... it does worry me a bit that you still seem to think speed is cool with the way you say....
...this is the attitude that needs to be gotten rid of. All too many people still think it makes them cool and more manly to brag about the high speeds they drive at (yes, you had an excuse but with a car like yours you cannot tell me you have not driven fast just for fun before). It does not make you more of a man at all. If you could run very fast then yes it would be an achievement but it does not take much to put your foot on an accelerator... any boy or girl over about 15 could do it!
Fast driving is cool on a race track. Fast driving on public roads is for idiots!
EDIT : And from the fines I posted from previous cases, you got off way too lightly!
