Remember when Smokey Nagata turned up on the A1 in the middle of the night and busted for doing 200mph about 15 years ago?

Just found a video for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-Vcx3zRE-0

Not that I advocate this sort of thing but I remember it being a legendary feature on Max Power when I was a spotty teenager.

I love the bit where the police dress him down at the end. Then the daft commentator goes "Smokey can barely understand English. We can barely understand the British accent." rolleyes

Also, the smoke coming out of the exhaust the start of the video is a laugh.

Awesome videos, his gold Supra is amazing. He must have balls the size of watermelons, once he gets past a certain point he is sawing at the wheel like mad to keep the car straight, imagine having to do that at 190mph! I love the footage of him tonking it down the M25, passing the other cars like they are stationary, and his burnout start to the high speed run - just shows you how quiet the road was when he had his go.

Just think, if he had done the same on the Autobahn no one would have batted an eyelid, but do it on a near deserted UK motorway in the dead of night and it makes national newspapers.

I like Nagata, not just for his amusing high speed stunts but also because his Top Secret tuning house have put out some amazing cars over the years. Their focus on huge BHPs put them totally at odds with MINE'S, which was another great tuning company.

Off topic, anyone remember the getaway in Stockholm videos from a couple of years back?

Yup. They got gradually worse after the 3rd one.
