I got bored of the macho bullshit after two paragraphs. How did it end?

Won't the police just go and have words with them now?

 

[lewis1641]

thats what i thought but it makes reference to keeping the whole thing secret for a number of months towards the end. i guess driving offenses must have a time limit in the states :?:

It does beg the question why :shock:

But, I guess like a lot of people (me included), like to have the odd lead right foot moment every now and then just for the rush.

Cant say I'd do it for 30 hours though!

Reckless driving. . . done that, got over it a few years ago..

That article.. hmmm.. sort of interesting for a few lines but quickly scroll to the comments at the end and there some corkers in there

To convict them of speeding here in America, the cops would have had to catch them in the act-it appears this didn't happen.

There you go.

On the one hand a nice macho endeavour. On the other would've been less cool if they slammed their M5 into a family in their minivan at 130 mph after 30 hours at the wheel. I'm all for life endagering pursuits and feats as long as the only endanger the lives of those participating.
