anyone seen him around recently?
No, I don't believe he had any goodies on his vehicle at all to reach the inidcated 281kmh. What he did have was a very long DOWNHILL - check out the video - that freeway is far from straight and level. I'd also suggest he was achieving somewhere in the order of 6-7% speedo error.

Tag, and Triple...I'm going to lump you two together...which is where you belong. The world is my racetrack, thank you. I get tickets, I have an attorney...so be it.

No accidents yet, but I'm only 31, so who knows?

For the record, I've been to the Bob Bondurant weekend driving school, and also for the record I've had my S2K to 161mph on the street twice.

Yep, hit "magazine" at the top, go to video library, and scroll to the bottem. It's worth watching!
