I'm more careful in France than in the UK (not because I got a French driving license), with all the speed cameras flashing you if you're 1km/h above the limit, mobile speed cameras, cops harassing you coz' your car's too loud, etc...
French gendarmes even got a few tuned Subarus... oh lalala

Here is you in your Evo at one of these 'abandoned locations' and 'closed of sections of industrial estates':

Your Evo sir?

I note with sanctimonious interest and patronising condecention the complete lack of innocent motorists put at no risk so ever by your 160mph blast and ludicrous cornering.

You cannot and will not justify driving like a c0ck on public roads to me, so don't waste your time trying - I am ask.. nay telling you to stop posting this cr@p on this forum - ok?
Now excuse me, I must get back to me pipe and slippers and stop being such a bloody hippocrit, naughty naughty moderator that I am.

[andreasgtr]

this is not being pro or contra but I remember several videos showing well respected members of this board in some street racing action.
The point is how do you define street racing?
*Wangan runs?
*Autobahn runs @speeds ++200mph?
*traffic light starts and rolling road starts of a NZ R33 GTR?
*Smokey Nagata 0-300 km/h accelleration tests to prove that the film he watched the night before showed wrong facts?
* Videos of UAE drag races between Corvette and GTR?

I think everybody knows some more videos to add to this list of examples, so I´m asking what kind of street racing is the dangerous and unwanted one?

for me, the best description of street racing is putting your foot down to prove a point to either

a.) a passenger
b.) another car
c. Spectators at the side of the road

it's in these situations the Red mist takes it's greatest toll

Putting your foot down on your own, in the wrong place, and it goes tits, you only have yourself to blame. any of the above and the whole situation changes


mook

Glen you're just pi$$ed that you can't corner like him in your 750i

Mellon , I have been to numerous midnight streetraces in japan and will be going to those meets out of interest in future, not that I back up what's happening there, I never participate or bring my car in, but because I can see how close great skills and stupidity are to each other . . . . . I am not talking here about Wangan, 6 lane, 100km highway, but small japanese country side asphalt roads, with mediocre street lights and every 10 meters a niche between the houses, where a child or somebody can jump on the street on a bike ex . . . .

I will always condemn street racing, or any kind of excessive public racing to myself and my friends . . . I can't change the mind of all the local street monkeys in my little town to get their stress out on a closed track only, so I will keep watching them and keep my family and friends aware of the danger . .

I not blame the nasty japanese police with their polished boots and D&G sunglasses to explode the idiots on a sunday evening, doing 300kph+ on a national in my prefecture, in a GTR . . . when many young teens are coming back from the late sports clubs on their bikes . . .
One story was a guy in a Supra doing a 200kph+ on a local street against an other car, crashing in a girl on her bike, coming back home from sportsgym . . . . they found the head of the girl only the day after in a near resident garden . . . . OLEEEEE cool Supra driver . . . . may he burn in hell!

I just wish all street racing was like this. The stuff i used to go to was always in the dark with cars flying everywhere. Some seriously bad stuff happens over here, that is nothing!!!!

What specs you evo mate? That civic would probably bury you if it could find traction...haha

[GT-R Z]

No worries there Mellon. You'll find that the reputation and dignity of this forum are guarded and harped by the same mods who gladly allow long threads about smoking weed (also illegal),go figure.
Street racing in general is uber expensive to unwilling victims so often.....albeit your location was SOMEWHAT safer due to its abandoned area.
I think that most real car enthusiasts have "nailed it" on the street more times than they can remember.....and there's also that crowd which only drives the cars for the image and might even be afraid of the machine, but mainly the consequences.
Every dog has his day.....good or bad. Best to carefully pick those battles for sure !
Fast cars ,nonetheless.

smoking weed is technically not illegal in the uk, so long as it's not in a public place.

nor is it illegal in the netherlands

dont be so stupid fella.

i havent seen one thread made by glen saying/posting a video about him street racing. ever.

he's not saying he never exceeded the speedlimit, and im damn sure every single person on this board has done so. but i bet, atleast 80% of the members on here are clever enough to do so in safe areas such as a near empty motorway.

[GTRJack]

Ok my point is that we should excuse Mellon a bit. I made it clear and we all agree we don't condone reckless illegal street driving. Blow Dog also made it all clear on his statement.

WHAT I don't like is some here act like being police daddy figure trying to teach what's write or wrong. Most of us here arn't stupid to realise street racing is not good. Other thing I don't like is because being a moderator you can use any language you want. Power freak was just an easy word to put it.

Mellon thought the thread was harmless, it's his mistake. He should have known better that this forum DON'T condone street racing.

To make the picture more clear in the same time we should understand that street racing/ highway roll racing at night or on an open industrial road IS VERY COMMON in America. It's their SICK culture, that's how they define racing in America, it's the same as their SICK culture that everyone can bay firearms, it's "their" culture. Maybe this is the reason why he thought it was harmless to post the video. Now I really hope he learned it was an mistake. Personally I would say it was a cultural missunderstanding no intended to provoke anyone.

Personally I feel it's unfair to Mellom. There has been other Skyline owners posting their street racing video AND videos of doing 200 mph on the public road. No one is saying anything to them but why punching Mellon? What's the different? Because you're Skyline owner you're allowed but not others?

I also want to say Skyline forums has no good video collection site. What Mellom did was a good job to contribute a video site made for us. Check here: SkylineVideo So bashing him and using words isn't deserved.

I still stand my point that I don't like daddy police figures teaching things even 12 years old know and make them self sound so damn innocent.

Look at the list andreasgtr posted. Are Skyline owners so innocent?

(It's their SICK culture, that's how they define racing in America, )??????

I can agree that we all have differing cultures that may seem (SICK ?) for lack of a better term.......but at least get your facts straight friend.
America's definition of RACING isn't anywhere but at the race tracks,Roadcourse,dragstrips,etc. which are numerous in EVERY state.
Don't get all caught up with the slop that Hollywood is producing.....its NOT the REAL America, I asure you.
Street racing is the small-timers playground and has been since the cars entrance to civilization.
Even our speed shops condone racing only for the tracks.Even our car clubs too !
So nip the SICKNESS IN AMERICA crap/slant,please.
Speed is a exponential danger with all forms.Racing or otherwise.....we ALL know it.Most have indulged in one form or another.


I can't stand totalitarian judgements like these....

[GTRJack]

^^ I guess I have to agree with you, I was a bit hot tempered in the PM there mate sorry for that

Well I usually visit American car forums often and my impression mostly they ever do is talking about roll racing on the highway, import vs. domastic arguments and shows video of street racing.

That's my impression and its obvios that highway roll street racing is pretty common as majority is American The StreetFire Video Network. No harm done but that's my impression, especially what you find of videos on that site. In Europe you rarely see this, I mean all the flamewar arguments Imports vs. Domastic stuff. I find all that rediciolus, but that's just my impression which could be all wrong.

Take care
