Self appointed motorway police , what a dick

 

 

Should have called the police, they were committing an offense under section 137 of the Highways act 1980.

 

137 Penalty for wilful obstruction.

(1) If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway he is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding [level 3 on the standard scale] (£1,000).

Maybe driving without due care and attention too. I am not a lawyer etc.

I remember it from the time, it was a very brave effort when the bike record was probably less than 120 mph and the roads will have been less polished into a race track than they are 30 years later.

Watching the Isle of Man TT track in POV format chuffing mental. I really should drive it some time to get a feel for what it's actually like.

 

Mark Higgins went for a new record in 2011. Fully sideways at 150mph within the first mile.... My ring-piece would have lameped onto the seat so hard that they would have had to winch it back out.

What a save.

 

Lunatic gets right back on it too!

I have never driven anything that fast (air travel is probably the only time my ass exceeded that Rover!)

 

Its not 'Hollywood speeded up' and my teeth grate at the Gs!!

 

*if a 'noddy dog' Gmeter had been screwed to the dash top - Imagine that ;)

 

Impressive and always safe....

 

A thought, when we see knobs killing with cars :(

Watch it to the end,keep in mind they have a flat tyre after the "incident"

 

How was that even possible?  :-D  Sheer determination kept that on the road. I'll remember this vid the next time I'm limping the motor home at 5 mph less than a mile away from the house.

Interesting video of Sir George Turnbull's input into Hyundai's foray into car manufacture. I can't make up which bit I find most surprising - the pig's head, or the way they open crates containing millions of pounds worth of new equipment!

Look at all the parts still in their boxes on the shelves. What motors are they in and on the ramps?

Something wierd with that Wolseley FDM 546K looks like its been logged as scrap as teh tax is due 19th September 1993?

No record of the marina WDM221N

But the Farina is wierd too ADM 58B - not taxed for road use - not seen that before.

Might be some high end stereo stuff as i spotted the Nachimichi? flyer in the Radiomobile stand.

Sad

About 2 minutes worth of video stretched out to 10 minutes. Still fascinating though. The garage owner (?) likes his BMC and BL tat so probably little chance of finding any Renault 30 brake parts

I got about 2 mins in before I had to turn the annoying music off. Just needed the actual real time footage that is the last couple of minutes.

 

Is that Marina a TC/GT? The wheels and black strip between the rear lights?

Usually means its been off the road since before the SORN requirement so it satisfies the Off Road legislation. 

Its an auto, too.   Blimey, they are sluggish things...

Extremely shite-rich music video.

 

Blossoms are a Stockport band and they filmed the whole thing around there too.
