Sad Video of Joyriding in the 1990's. Some nice (old now) cars wasted.

I know this is not a very good subject for people & i am in no way endorsing joyriding, but check out some of the old (new/new'ish back then) cars. It is not easy viewing, especially the 3 door sierra cosworth  :-(  Also, check out the rover 825? police car handling....heavy body roll.....i am surprised it didn't roll over. :shock:

I've got this as part of a DVD set sent to me from a shiter. Yep, the Police car is a Rover 827 Fastback, once very popular in the police force. When I had my 827 Sterling I had a few older coppers now and again speak quite highly of the 827.

 

Lots of that scene was filmed around Birmingham, I recognise some of it particularly the A38 Bristol Road where the first chase was filmed.

Two things.

 

Firstly, before even clicking play I just KNEW there'd be a video of a MG Maestro doing a handbrake turn and then a burnout on the Blackbird Leys estate. I assume that footage comes up on page one when anyone searches for Joyriding on the BBC Video Footage Repository.

 

Secondly, the real crime is Janet Trewin's jumper.

Shows you how perceptions of MkII Escorts have changed, too.

 

People were using them as cheap transport!
