apparently, they nicked an rs5, then stuck a lambo engine in it (aren't they audi engines anyway in lambos??)

then went robbing places.......

180mph car chase is pretty impressive though.

It was a Lamborghini engine in there from the factory.

180mph my ****

[mowgli]

thats pretty much what i guessed, but some starstruck brummie radio news reader got on proper radio for the report on 5live & was trying to sound impressive...

so basically, all they did was disable the 155mph speed limiter then.....

i'm also guessing they would also have made more money by sticking the car in a container & shipping it abroad...

a bit like the time some scrotes stole our brand new £42k jcb 3cx, and ripped the door off a hire shop to nick £5k of gear...

180mph my ****

well, i was curious about the speed.... as a civilian helicopter can't go that fast, and apart from an unmarked superbike, which the w.mids rozzers have, nothing could get close to 180mph to get a proper video'ed speed reading.

i'm guessing that his 1.2 nova with the max power stickers was in the garage, so he had to slum it with the audi

[Mike]

I know him

And thats all I having to say on the matter.

[John]

If they were clever enough to disable it Mike Yeah they'd have made more money stripping it for parts or shipping it!

[John]

I know him

Pmsl!

[mowgli]

I know him

why am i not surprised?

[Mike]

why am i not surprised?
