GranTurismoEra Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) I guess Im over the whole supercars hype. I kinda had a feeling there were a few events yesterday judging by the weather. But is that a place to launch a 640hp car full pelt. Hes forgetting the roads in London arent built for any speed. Could have ended worse as these events are filled with spectators Does anyone know if this car is all wheel drive?

SHEZZA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Roads in London aren’t built as race tracks either or drag strips ! Luckily for him no one got hurt or killed. absolute tool. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have seen this earlier somewhere else and thought similar thoughts. Not a good outcome at all, and as you have said could have been much worse. He nearly hit cars on the other side of the road. Ooppss...

glrnet Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 WTF is wrong with these brain dead twats!!? Publicise the fact in advance that you intend to drive like a **** on a public highway so that all and sundry attend and video the crap out of it. Luckily no one else was hurt, let's hope he gets all he deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMetal Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 What an idiot, what's cool or clever about this? The only thing your showing off is your own idiocy. If you race a car in a street it's just a competition to show who has less regard for anyone but themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I could name a dozen people on here I’ve seen do similar things at meets or events. It’s nothing new, just this was a slightly more expensive car. The Jap scene is second only to perhaps Mustang owners for driving like idiots from a standstill on video. Okay third, behind the Dub crew too I know exactly where that is, I went to that event last year and if you think that road looks narrow on the video, it’s MUCH tighter in real life! Utter stupidity to try that there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) London roads potholes and cracked crevices. Not to mention going at normal speeds cars still skip over uneven surfaces I was going to attend last year when I had my Nismo but thought better off watching it on Youtube. Glad I did this time lol. Im not sure if launch control deactivates traction and stability. But I can see the road curves to the right in the video and he started slipping and sliding towards the parked cars tried to rectify it and it got taken out of his hands. Locking diff? All Wheel Drive doesn't save lives then. I found another video showing traffic cops turning up to the scene. HR Owen will deny all knowledge and claim he has nothing to do with them which is probably true. I reckon a 9 month ban and steep fine according to income. Endangerment to public, driving without due care, double/triple the speed limit at 60mph since a lot of London streets are now 20 mph. I think the fact he uses launch control with traffic in the opposite lane takes the cake Edited March 26, 2019 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 All that money and they don't bother getting performance driving tuition... I always have a bit of laugh at these when they can't drive in a straight line without crashing. As long as no one gets hurt mind. Why people think they need to do it on a public road amazes me too.

GranTurismoEra Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Always the passenger that pays the price. The seatbelt ripped and she ended being thrown into the trees from the car. Its all well and good saying no speed limit or copying youtubers like autotopnl but not much can save you losing it at 186 mph I saw one with a 2018 E class convertible showing off in Russia. A risky overtake, could have gone into the grass but tried to recover it. Went straight into the back of a lorry. Both man and woman instantly dead. Since when does a 23 year old have enough experience to drive a McLaren sensibly on an autobahn. Another lightweight high power supercar in the hands of rich kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Bobbins. I’ve seen 18 year olds drive flawlessly, and I’ve seen 50 year olds drive like d*ckheads. Age isn’t relevant, being a knobhead is. Money has has nothing to do with it, mentioning it just smacks of jealousy tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Rich kid is just a description, your more likely to be wreckless when you havent worked for it. You dont appreciate it. Age has nothing to do with it yet 25 year old is the age required to rent a car from most rental companies. Insurance drops at 25. I wonder why. I dont know about other countries like US because kids drive high performance cars in places like California all day everyday. I know age has a lot to do with the reason premiums are up for under 25s. Theres no denying anyone any age can be wreckless. But experience plays a part. Jealous of what exactly. Where im from what is a huracan? roflll..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Reckless. Not wreckless. Ask yourself this: How many people of average incomes have car accidents every year? Compared with above average? I’m guessing admittedly, but I bet the percentages are higher for the former. And yes, the second you start using phrases like rich kids and don’t appreciate it, you sound jealous. Sorry about that.

Why would I be jealous? lol Its just a description of the situation which youve flipped into a personal attack. What term would you use? Children with money or Teens of outstanding income? If I should be jealous of anyone it should be my uncle as in inspiration. Not a 23 year old that crashes his car and kills his girlfriend in the process. But yeah im as jealous as they come ;-).
