Audi tracked doing 122mph by the owner while it was being serviced

I wonder if the police are going to prosecute based on the tracker info only.

Disappointing- I thought this was going to be about the fastest mechanic on two feet...

How does a 'Counter Clerk' (shop assistant?) at an Off License afford a £45k car?

Family money. Presumably It’s the family’s off-license he works at.

Wasn't a service, but "precautionary health-check" (bit late after actually buying it, but never mind). Garage has rendered sterling service by confirming through Italian tune-up that the car is in very fine fettle indeed.

I somehow think he will have paid cash.

Although maybe not, as he worked in an off-licence.

I don't know, it was the title "counter clerk" I'd ever heard of, and associated more with a bank that confused me.

I would think he is probably selling more than the odd 3 for a tenner bottles of wine.

He saved £432.69 a week for it for 2 years !!

Is tracking information considered accurate enough for speed prosecutions yet?

Lives with his parents and PCP of 500 a month should do it.

To be honest if the local garage ragged my car at 122, the only question I’d ask them was whether they warmed it up properly before doing it.

I would be pretty unhappy if this happened to me but I don't think I would feel "violated".

A car gets driven at a speed it's designed to be able to drive at all day long, day after day.

What a great story.
