He's not the first to have got into trouble doing that, there was a similar case many years back when somebody filmed themselves on a hot lap of a Japanese motorway in an F40, and then sold the footage on video as “F40 frenzy”

They do, but some like to buy expensive European cars in left hand drive.

Because they are cheaper I guess, like the UK.

He has gay driving gloves too.

Nothing to do with being cheaper... It's actually a prestige thing to drive a European LHD car in Japan. It shows that you have more money than brains.

Have to agree. He's feathering the throttle in the higher gears and only really floors it in the lower ones.

That's lovely. Nice restaurant too. Is that a Cali next to it?

[CraigMST]

Yes, a red and white cali either side. CIE on this forum said that Stratstone Ferrari were at Panacea in Alderley Edge so I went down.

A man an woman turned up too on the off chance in a red California and the lady insisted that me and my friend sit in the Cali. We were made up and glad she let us. Really nice car.

I hope he was arrested for making a boring video!!!!

[AyBee]

They have clever police over there:

According to the newspaper, the police determined the speed of the car based on the distance covered and the time elapsed.

[Streetrod]

I'm sorry but that coast road does look rather nice for a hoon

[Buff Mchugelarge]

Just watched that with my little boy, its pretty plop.

Me: "We.. He can't drive.."

My Son: "Well yeah, He's wearing boxing gloves.."

Me: Hahaha!
