Dunno if any one else heard the Radio one news at about 10 to 6 tonight?

Seems American Police have got their street racers to go to the drag strips and to try and beat the cops' cars ....


There is a video on BBD Radio 1 newbeat pages where a ( peugot 307?? ) of the newsgirl goes on the drag strip at Santa Pod against the USA cop ... and the cop has a police marked up Scooby!


Must be standard ( had rear tints and i grill badge so likely a Jap Sti ?? ) as it only managed a 14.8 @ 98 mph down the strip ! The newsgirl red lighted and was 19 seconds...!


BBC - Newsbeat - Drag racing against Texan cop


not sure if the link will work directly... Yes, it does!

 

very good,fair play to him,if he is a real cop,fair play,better than our stuck up cops

 

Not certain that classic right hand drive turbo Imprezas were all that popular in the US

i put the car together in less than a week also while popping in and out of hospital as my misses was in labour lol,the car was standard power wise apart from a blitz nur-spec,and he did manage a 13.9 ,but lt tom brown said when we turned ITS A STICK SHIFT which became the joking point of the day every time he got on the line someone would say I BET HE,S LOOKING FOR THE D lol

Sorry but in the US and Oz there are drag strips in any decent sized town, for the "lads" to have some fun. It's this cramped rip-off frenzy, noise abatement hell-hole that's "lad" un-friendly.

IMHO
