[Louis.]

You can see the result in the video.

Must be nice to be able to

that speedo sure looks like it says 358 to me! seriously nice to see one being used, there's supposed to be one round my way in Notts but never seen it, does the owner not know it was snowing a while back and that as 4wd car i was hoping it would be able to tow me up a hill

The owner posted above - so I guess next time he knows to look out for you!

The speedo deffo said 356 not 358...pause the YT vid and you can see the 6 a little more clearly.

What an event that vehicle is. I love automotive lunacy.

Yep for me it says 356 too....you can see the space between the loop on the digit. But hey....what does 2 km/h matter it is fast none-the-less. Seriously stylish car !

hopefully i will see him one day on the road, like the look of that compilation of cars and i thought i was doing well well if you ever see a baby blue gallardo or black G-Wagen give me a toot before you go past mate! (would also say the yellow ibiza but theres far too many around to be sure it's me)

You would first need to get it out of the garage Ed!!

[kazste]

as before its black no amg lettering on it or any model description just a smallish K near the side indicators and side exit exhausts! Probably was mine as not many in nottingham I believe (at least according to the dealer) and used to use it quite a bit, before i got the ibiza to run about in a year ago.
if your around our way if you spot me give me a beep as it always cheers up my day

Good video, just clicked one of the videos in the related section and it came up with this;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBO50xZTPMk&fea...

that person in the yellow thing must have shat themselves

[paulqv]

The videos a fake guys!!!!
In case I am the only perosn who noticed, if he is accelerating to those speeds and travellling so fast, can someone explain why the street lights are passing by at the same speed no matter how fast he travels?? And that they arent going by that quick?? My guess is the guy is unlikely to have passed 60mph!!
Looks like someone has being playing electonic tricks with the digital speedo!!
Am I wrong??

[kazste]

i did think the lights looked a bit strange myself but figured it was my eyesight!

[Polarbert]

It seems like a lot of effort to go to to fake something like that.

I don't reckon its faked.

The street lights appear to be mounted quite high up so they wouldn't show the increase of speed as much as if they were low down.

[paulqv]

Having driven at 175 mph, i seem to remember that things passed very quickly and certianly more quickly the faster i went!! Sorry this is a complete fake!

[diablo_pete]

The only thing that suggests its real, is that they have a real Reventon. Surely it's easier to drive it flat-out than to create a fake video or interferre with the electronics?
