Nah - each to their own. It looked both controlled and legal to me.

I thought you had the camera in your mouth by the way it moved - also noted the '6' going red at the end.

You still got the Vantage as well as the Rapide ???

Remember OBC is recording your speed (as well as braking / steering manoeuvres, seatbelt etc) smile

Thank you :-).

No, I traded in the Vantage for the Rapide. It was 8 months old but wasn't making me happy like I expected. For me, the Rapide is much much better. Waay better suspension, better gear box, more space, sound in another league, and some welcome extras inside. I guess I am more the GT Guy. No, I know it for sure laugh I every day on a highway, the Rapide is there in his element. But interestingly, I didn't have the oportunity to go faster than 280km/h yet. Now I could, but have the winter tyres on.

Oh, and for the people calling it stupid or thinking this is very dangerous: I have driven around 2 Mil KMs in my life, a lot of them way faster than 200kmh. Never had an accident, and had only 3 times in my life a full breaking. Some things look more dangerous than they are, especially when not used to this speeds.
