Sounds like a bit of a rude boy though, wrote off one car then goes gunning it around at that speed not long after.

That was my friend william skea he went out and bought a nissan pulsar straight after he was caught. after court he told the press that he had just done 156mph on the same bit of road guy is crazy he is now in the paras. And yes mummy and daddy owned reekie campmuir.

he insured his pulsar by saying he was a 52 year old givs an indication of how crazy this guy actually is.

Crazy speed tbh, especially on public roads. Cant say I have never broken the speed limit, but that sorta speed is madness. Shoulda locked him up tbh..

Jazz
13th January 2008, 16:25
Guy sounds like a nutter. Wasn't mrtuck16v by any chance, was it? (young lad from up north had VTS now owns Pulsar, won't disclose how he got it insured...):ponder: :err:

"Skea also said he sold the £1,600 Saxo, a model often associated with younger drivers, a month later and bought a more powerful car. " lol

Why buy another car if serving a 2 year ban ffs?

13th January 2008, 16:39
That speed is madness! Sounds like he has no self restraint or gives a fcuk about the safety of anyone on the same road as him.

Mikey
13th January 2008, 16:52
130 mph in a saxo...thats mad! they feel scary at 70 ffs

mishiobg
13th January 2008, 17:21

he told an insurance company he was 52 years old. tbh I dont think a 'ban' will stop him driving.

scary stuff

crazy speeds.....

14th January 2008, 01:12
The clock does go to 145 if u look, the last marking on the speedo, reads 145 (although no numbers are printed after 130) but count the markings from that, and it makes 145.... And it is possible for a standard VTS to go off the clock..

Redlinemyvts
14th January 2008, 01:42
thats what i thought 145mph, aint been far from it. is abit of stinky brown trouser moment tho.

ridiclous speeds to go on a road, that focus looks nasty in the pictures above.

Raz
14th January 2008, 09:16
131mph on a public road is a big no-no....speeds like that people should be banned from driving for life....

focus looks nasty in the pics above...:n:

14th January 2008, 09:30
sounds like an absolute nob head, not just the driving hes done but hes next comments, and the fact he bought a pulsar when he was banned for 2 years surely the cops aint that stupid?

and a standard saxo will not do 145mph (actual speed)

if he'd crashed the car would have turned inside out!
