Speeding BMW's, in the wet, with obviously inexperienced driver(s). Recipe for disaster!

I presume the 140MPH was just a guess... i.e. f*cking fast!  :smiley:

Well, every cloud has a silver lining. Laura couldnt get to work today so we've gone and got an xmas tree.  :smiley:

You can lose anything at 140 (sic) in the wet, it's not just BMWs.

I'll be willing to wager the one on the 22" Khans was shod with ditchfinder XLs. Standing water, you know the rest.....

Horrible and very sad waste of life.
Sideways yo!

thankfully no bystanders involved , very sad for those in or near the crash but it could have been far worse


everyone pushes they luck now and again but theres a time and place and a wet public highway at 120 + is really pushing it
