Lambo cop car

Imagine it now, you go past the guy with the gun, doing 155 on the limiter in your M5, and think "Nah, they'll never catch me now". 30 seconds later, you glance into your mirror to see the lights....

Even the lambo will take more than 30s from a standing start to catch you...

But it might take the average BMW driver 30 seconds to notice flashing lights, perhaps even longer to associate them with the fact they're doing

say 15 secs to match your speed, in which time the m5 as travelled 0.64 miles, I'd say roughly 40-60 seconds from standing start to catch it. my maths is terrible, anyone help?

Of the recovery truck picking up the Lambo?

Thats some quick truck, i mean, 155mph is serious speed ;)

Transit?

Use fifth to squeeze past the 155 limiter, select sixth, the needle shunts around past 170...

It might be based on a Citroen AX, or even a diesel.

LOL.

Just curious how much it is going to be driven before a crash or hunger for fuel stops it... not mentioning maintenance.

In fact donating a Lambo to the cops is your best insurance for free speeding: after a month the patrol officers are either dead or in debt.

what about the time it takes for the copper to put the gun down, leg it and to the car jump in and burn it :)

and what if the beamer takes the next turn off? :)

The Lambo in question is an Audi, do you reckon they are unreliable?

Back when I worked in Swissland, the owner of the company was an expatriate Italian. He bought his son a Lambo VT for a birthday present and son went to Bologna to pick it up. On his way back to Switzerland he was running it in at about 190ish kph and when he got to Milan he was picked up for speeding by two cops on Kawasakis.

All they were really interested in was how fast his car would go and they arranged to race him to the border at Cernobbio. They agreed to tear up the ticket if he got there first. When he got past 240kph they decided no chance of keeping up with him so they simply waved, flashed their lights and threw away the ticket.

White?

So not even vaguely italian then, about as italian as a certain house painting corporal. ;)

Hope it doesn't suffer coil pack failure.

About as Italian as say a Mini or a Rolls or a Bentley or a Jaguar or an Aston is English.

Yep, 'bout that. :)

And of course about as Italian as a SAAB or a Volvo is Swedish.
