Could say that mate.. At least they showed the vid so people could make they're own judgement, rather than go off a bull$hit media title that made it sound 100 times worse..  :fighting:

Apparently they used the markings of the road to calculate the speed (if you know the distance between say two lampposts and the time taken to pass between them, you can get a rough idea of the speed).

What I wanna know about is the Audi.

Harsh charges - they've come down on you harder than they have for other people doing faster speeds.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Sorry to hear that Ben. What a disgrace that they've made so much of a deal about this  :sad: :sad: :sad:

Just reading the BBC article, it says that they got the video from the file sharing website - so does that mean that the police weren't actually active on the forum, but just your video host? (i cant remember if it was put on youtube, or another similar site)

Also, what happened to the Audi??

And I wonder which b@stard 'tipped them off' about your video.......
