911 Turb - drooling over one in Kenny Dunn's window again on Sunday!

yeah - i dont think it will teach him fook all - if anything it will do to him what it does to most and he will end up in some criminal gang whilst he is inside, and cause more havoc when he gets out!

Still, bit of a fanny for doing 100mph over the speed limit! 911 tubby or not! :wink:

I was more interested in the charge of aggravated vehicle taking being chopped, and that he worked for 'Helphire' - one of their vehicles perchance?

Sorry but if he wanted to enjoy the Turbo he should have been on a track day you have to be plain stupid to drive above 100mph - begging to be made an example of in my opinion

Kenny Dunns also has a stunning GT3 RS in there aswell. Looks the business! 8)

Yeah i guess it depends on the conditions...... I would have thought a month inside would have been sufficient though. Some other criminals get less for worse crimes......all IMHO

I'm sorry but it doesn't matter what the conditions are like :evil:

He is more than 100mph over the speed limit. It's don't agree with the 70mph limit we have, however, it is the law that governs this country. Totally unacceptable in my opinion.

Did he not know the consequences of his actions? If he was driving a 911 turbo I would presume he did.

Fair sentence to me.

Taking a vehicle without consent seemed more serious?

On driving at that speed on UK roads?.......I think you'll find most motoring writers guilty of similar spurts of speed as they test exotic cars for the next issue of EVO etc. They are no doubt more experienced than the aforementioned individual... but still run the risk the risk of capture.....even after consideration of road conditions etc

I wans't interested as it was more serious, I was curious as to the nature of the 'aggravation'. Not an entirely surprising outcome on the sentence afterall..
