Bat-ass Posted February 1, 2011 Share Maximim respect if he was on a race track, but zero respect for that..... i actually feel sick in my stomach!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubba Posted February 1, 2011 Share Have you ever been in a fast car when something goes wrong? What would this guy have done if he came around a bend and found a group of cyclists?It's not about driving fast it's about keeping that car under control if something goes wrong.It's about the rules to keep other road users safe and alive. This sort of stupidity is for a track day and not for a public road. That scooby is for from being modified to the max. As I said I DO NOT CONDONE what he did and, yes, it should be on the track! I have been in many a fast car, on the track driving and passenger and have had the crap scared out of me when things have gone wrong. I have owned 2 Subaru's and was a member of the scooby club. This is not smart driving, but the guy can handle a car. And yes this car is modded! Edited February 1, 2011 by Chubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubba Posted February 1, 2011 Share Maybe 10 or 20km/h over the limit or a parking ticket here and there. But I've never gone triple the speed limit knowing I have bad tires, made a video of it and posted it onto the internet to brag and laugh about. Shandor in the blue Subaru.....(lots more where that came form) Notice the speed detector gizmo on the top of the dashboard... http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/1632/shandorincar.jpglooks like you have an issue with this guy? first post on a cycling forum regarding speeding Subaru's and more photographic evidence?

Chubba Posted February 1, 2011 Share chubba: what's us getting tickets got ANYthing to do with correctly pointing out (preachy as you referred to it) that this moron is a dangerous menace to road-going society. I've done stupid speeds, bt my word do i have the presence of mind to hide my sins, not flagrantly boast about just how stupid I really was. that whole bs attitude about SoYouAlsoSpedSoShutupRoutine is just too juvenike for words. that's the point! we have all driven like total wankers as some point in our lives, over taking dangerously, speeding, cornering to fast, DRUNK! Yes, he is a total ass for posting and boasting about it, but each in our own way have broken the law and could have potentially killed someone. We have one of the highest drunk driving rates in the world, but I suppose speeding is worse! My bad! Edited February 1, 2011 by Chubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manbearpig Posted February 1, 2011 Share Why "He bragged on his Youtube that he was using old tyres."? Old tyres grip better in dry conditions anyway. Tread is only there for wet weather. He's an idiot yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike45 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Fair enough, but why post this on a cycling forum as your first post? Just asking? To warn cyclists who also use the roads. If I do not spread awareness and help to prevent crime then I am just as guilty as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drongo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Stopping distance requires not just good brakes, or good tyres, but also thinking time/distance.Many mortals can only think as far as they can see; and most can't. The average drivers thinking distance at 100kmph is about 20mBraking distance about 55m = 75m stopping distance at 100kmph. At 130kmph it is about 120m. F1 tracks are about 3x the width of the lane he is in. There are no pedestrians, vehicles coming the other way, and there is about double the run out. Even if he is highly skilled, there is no chance that losing control would not have ended in injuries. These guys watch too much Fast 'n Furious and Bollywood drifting. How about I blast my wetbike through the surfing zone at Llandudno ? The question remains. Is he justified in doing this? The answer is NO.If he was then he would have had no reason to remove his posting. That he posted this in the first place casts serious doubt on the 'average' thinking distance equation!

Headshot Posted February 1, 2011 Share To warn cyclists who also use the roads. If I do not spread awareness and help to prevent crime then I am just as guilty as him. Lets assume this guy is a car fanatic road racer type. Judging by what I have seen it looks as if he does spend time on the track and for all we know hemay even be a good driver. I drive Rhodes Drive and ride on parts of it quite regularly. I've never seen him blasting around there, so your supposed reason 'to warn cyclists" is probably a waste of time. Whats far more dangerous on that raod are the ever so slow moving wide busses and trucks and taxis drivers who are half asleep and who just don't give a ****. In my experience, as a driver, the faster I go the harder I concentrate, so I argue that this fool is probably the last person you need to worry about hitting someone...The person who knocked me off my bike was an innexperienced student. The bloke who almost T boned me just below Rhodes drive when out in my car was driving a bakkie and just didnt look. A maniac and illegal yes, but the person you need to warn everyone about - not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
