Do you normally drive like this or had you taken some 'I'm going to act like a cock medicine'?

Your index number is visible without the need for computer enhancement so can be used in court as evidence to obtain a conviction. Even the greenest of prosecutors wouldn't fail in getting you 6 points for that little stunt.

That's two separate occasions where you failed to think.

Go on try a third.
My advice would be to pull any offending vids before you hit someone or something because vids like this will be of no help when and not if it goes pear shaped for ya.

M30 sounds pony..

I like the sound of an M20 with a BTB setup though.

S50's sound epic, mine was great :)

You have a valid point... But If it doesnt bother me... Why does it bother you?? Theres thousands of videos on youtube of people speeding. Racing. And doing illegal stunts. So dont try and judge me when you have never met me. If we were 'all too scared' to do things like this, we wouldnt love our cars... So appreciate something good instead of cussing someone... So if your too worried about this sprt of thing.... Stay away from it. And if you notice in both videos, theres noone else on the road, im not stupid enough o be driving likethis with other drivers on the road.

I am quite partial to this one :

Fully original B3 2.7, non-kat, with full custom-made stainless exhaust, made of a Y section to join the downpipes exits, then a 3" single pipe going to the rear silencer, which itself hides an inverted Y section to reproduce dual exits...

goes from there :

to there :

Excuse the red wine bottle and the french chatter, we frogs just can't shut up and live without wine...

Heavily built up?? The place is low end shops which are all closed and this is 3 in the morning. I think i know the area iv lived in for 23 years.

And if i told you that wasnt me who commented you probably wouldbt believe me. If you have a look at all my posts in this orum they are all either helpful or well mannered.

All im saying is. If i want to speed. And record it. Thats up to me. Were having fun. I havent got a single point against my name coz i am a carefull driver.

Im just saying each to their own...
Dont understand why people have to comment on what i do.

I judge people on their actions and words.

How does driving in an irresponsible manor equate to a love of our cars?
Its all about time and place ie on a fucking racetrack or down some lane in the middle of nowhere at 4am that you have spent time learning with notes, O.S pathfinders (if you really want to know what the road will do) and know what parts will be blind to on coming lights, the fox's, bunnies and badgers will have to take care of themselves. In a built-up area late at night when some pissed idiot jumps a light isn't the time or place (and don't try and tell me you are gifted with precognition), or how about the fact that nowadays we live in a 24Hr society so most on the roads at that time are working. So you are hardly contributing to their safety either.
No one else on the road? I can see two others cars in the static video :mad:

I've made myself clear, so go away and have a hard think about it all. I very much doubt you'll find 4 other like minded grown-up souls on the Zone that will back your invalid argument.

Though if you can find another four who would put hand on heart an say I'm wrong and there is nothing stupid in what you did I'll apologise.

I can't see a hedge or a dairy farm anywhere, however I can see terraced multistory buildings with parked cars lining the street. These indicate an urban location - by definition an urban location is characterised by a high population density, hence why it's heavily built up..

There are at least 8 people visible on foot in that clip.

At the speed you're travelling at in the clip, any 3am drunk stepping out could easily go through your windscreen and there's the chance they'd take you out in the process.. They would most likely be killed, you'd be seriously injured also, but whilst recovering in hospital, you'd be less concerned about your injuries and more worried about making your statement against allegations of death buy dangerous driving.

If what you do is illegal and warrants having your license taken off you, let alone add a few points to your clean license, I'd be prepared for 'unwanted' comments - as you say each to their own & everyone's available to their opinion.

Most of us have done at one point in their illustrious driving careers...

Put down the self-righteous loud-hailers guys, we've all driven like cocks before. Yes he's driving like an idiot and seems proud of it, but I doubt any of us are pure as driven snow... :D

I remember I used to terrorise all the villages surrounding Harrogate as a kid. I had a java green RS2000 running 48s and kicking out 176bhp - my mate would be the co driver giving me pace note in a put on Cornish accent - 'ease orrrf a bet' then 'arrrrse it' - broadside action!!!

i know its not legal what im doing, and like i stated earlier... i know my area, and that is one wide ass road... yea i guy skipping the lightss could hit me, as it did my friend just a week ago... does that mean i should drive at 30 mph everywhere...??? i live in london... hardly any countryside around here, so your saying i should go about 20 miles away from where i live just to give my car a good ragging??? .... not once did i say 'ooo i got a wicked video for you of me having a blast'... its for the sound... it was taken for the sound...

and im not looking for people to back me up on what im saying...


p.s. 'How does driving in an irresponsible manor equate to a love of our cars?'

we buy our cars for its looks... its sound... and its speed. not because it has safety features like automatic breaking or parking sensors... this strip of dual carriage has been used to street races for as long as i can remember. that doesnt mean i go racing there, but i occasional like to boot my car. what your saying is for people who just want a standard e30... for everyday use... and commuting... alot of people buy e30s and soup them up for speed. surprise there...

if you have a look at the date of when that video was added... it was yesterday.. because i had no other way to upload a video to here.. if you have an even closer look... theres hardly any description or anything because im not someone who uploads videos for people to look at... its done so i can share it on forums or with my mates. and im not telling 'everyone' im a careful driver... i was explaining to you

Nothing can really beat the sound of a heavy V8 but that ponce needs shooting for;
a) owning that car
b) choosing red
c) driving fail
d) being proud enough to post on YouTube

My m52'd e30 with 2.5' system sounds very very nice... :twisted:

It has a note like a fighter jet 8)

And for the person who said m52's don't come close,, your off ya friggin head mate! I liked the rasp of my m20b20 at around 4500rpm but that doesn't come close to the sound of my 52 through the pipe I've had made.

Its perfection 8)
