Have a heart people, you cant tell me you`ve never raced?
They were only young, think of their familys, everyone acts a tit once in a while but they dont deserve to die! idiot Morons!

Racing at 150mph is a bit different to doing 90mph on a motorway though, anyone doing them speeds is asking for trouble. So yes, it does serve them right.

I agree but....
Lets not forget it was in a different country budgie!
They probably don`t have strict limits in that country so they will be used to driving like morons! wink

The highest national speed limit in Russia is only 110km/h (which is less then 70mph), okay they may not enforce it as strictly as the UK, but they are not a third world country, they do have traffic police and do use modern methods to both catch and deter offenders (basically they are not the out of date and skint communists everyone makes them out to be).

Whether they are used to breaking the speed limit and getting away with it or not, 150mph is way way over the nation limit.

That does not mean to say they deserved to die.
Yes it is over the limit slightly, lol, but comeon matthew, have a little respect. laugh

Well id rather they die now, then kill a load of other innocent people further down the line with their ruthless speeding.

Sounds harsh, but its so true.

so very true, but there is absolutely no excuse for that kind of reckless behaviour or endagering other people on a public road, whatever the country, road rules or speed limit.... Utter stupidity noonoo

I dont think they were actually doin 150mph as that is a E30 touring and its 4-up. The top model was 325i with a top speed of about 135mph and thats with one person. However, this was still a stupid bit of driving...
Posted By: Davey_Martin Re: Bmw occupants killed at 150mph - 29th Jul 2007 5:31pm
i did wonder about the 150mph, thought it was more likely kmh which would be about 90-100mph
