Im guessing the Police saw his registration when following him for at least 10minutes. So his "getaway" does nothing but summurise his distinct lack of intelligence.

I wouldnt describe getting your car crushed as "getting away with it"

fair play to the police. I used to go up there when i passed my test in 2005 and it was dangerous. cars racing with crowds sometimes in their 1000's . seemed good back then but i guess you grow out that stage. I've seen endless crashes up there and people have been killed there, drivers and spectators.
cant believe they havent put the barriers there yet after proposing them back then.

Too right. saying that though, it will always have a new following as more and more young drivers pass their test. I went upto star city the other night and police were blocking off spitfire island upto the fort because of illegal street racing. never thought I'd be the type to complain about it but now my license is worth too much to just throw away. I'd lose my job if I have my license taken off me.

If not they just go A38. It was fun back in the day same as the track up digbeth. But like you said you need your license or your fooked.

yeah it may seem unfair, but if you went down you would see why. if its not scoobies and evos doing over 90 in a 30 its jap cars drifting round the islands. I got told about it by my cousin so went down and seen him nearly get killed as the corsa he was a passenger in didnt have time to stop when a lgv came onto the island. he was lucky to be alive off that crash.
